ABOUT ME AND THE PORTFOLIO
THIS PORTFOLIO IS A SELECTION OF WORKS AND PROJECTS THAT WERE PART OF MY PATH AS A FORMER STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES AND CURRENTLY AT POLITECNICO DI MILANO, TOGETHER WITH A FEW EXAMPLES OF MY WORKING CAREER. THE PROJECTS ARE NOT REPRODUCED IN A COMPLETE WAY, SINCE ONLY THE MOST INTERESTING AND USEFUL IMAGES FROM MY POINT OF VIEW ARE PLOTTED HERE. HOWEVER SOME OF THE PROJECTS CAN BE SEEN IN COMPLETE WAY ON MY ISSUU PROFILE OR IN THE WEB ADDRESSES SPECIFIED IN CERTAIN PROJECTS. FIFTEEN PROJECTS MIGHT SEEM A LOT, BUT THEY REPRESENT HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE WHAT I DO AND HOW PASSIONATE I AM WHILE WORKING. I REALLY ENJOY DESIGNING, PROJECTING, PROPOSING AND DREAMING AND I PUT 100% OF MYSELF IN EVERYTHING I DO. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY ATTITUDE AND MAYBE MY BIGGEST STRENGTH. I USUALLY FALL IN LOVE WITH MY PROJECTS SINCE I DEDICATE MANY HOURS AND A LOT OF EFFORT TO THEM. NEVERTHELESS THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I BELIEVE THAT MY PROJECTS ARE “COMPLETE”, I THINK THAT EVERYTHING CAN ALWAYS BE IMPROVED AND THIS THOUGHT IS WHAT KEEPS ME TRYING TO GIVE MORE AND MORE IN THE THINGS THAT ARE TO COME. I LIKE WORKING IN GROUPS (THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO MENTION ALL THE PERSONS THAT WORKED WITH ME FOR THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS AT THE END OF THIS PORTFOLIO), SHARING IDEAS AND DISCUSSING ABOUT THEM. IT IS A VERY ENRICHING PROCESS THAT ALLOWS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECTS MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN WHAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN IF PRODUCED OR PROPOSED BY JUST ONE MIND. IN GROUP WORKS I LIKE TO COOPERATE BUT I DO NOT MIND TO TAKE THE TOUGHEST TASKS IF REQUIRED OR NEEDED, I ENJOY CHALLENGES.
ORDER AND ORGANIZATION ARE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES, AND I THINK IT IS ALSO VISIBLE THROUGHOUT MY PORTFOLIO. NOTWITHSTANDING IT DOES NOT DARKEN CREATIVITY. IN MY WAY OF WORKING ORDER IS A FRAMEWORK WHERE CREATIVITY CAN BE EXPRESSED. THE LAYOUT OF THE PORTFOLIO SIGNIFIES THAT, IT IS VERY REPETITIVE, STRUCTURED AND NEUTRAL, ALLOWING INSIDE THE PAGES TO SHOW DIFFERENT COLORS, TECNICHES, STYLES AND IDEAS. I AM ALWAYS TRYING TO LEARN NEW THINGS, IT WOULD BE A DREAM TO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO KEEP ON STUDYING AND ALSO TO BE PART OF A WORKING TEAM WHERE I COULD EXPRESS MYSELF AND CONTRIBUTE WITH MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS WHILE ENRICHING MYSELF. MY PARENTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY BIGGEST SUPPORT AND I AM IMMENSELY GRATEFUL OF THAT, THEY GAVE ME THE CHANCE OF STUDYING WHAT I LIKE, WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE. IN THE SAME WAY THEY HELPED ME WHEN I DECIDED TO MOVE FROM ARGENTINA TO ITALY TO FOLLOW MY DREAMS. I MIGHT SAY THIS CHANGE WAS NOT AN EASY ONE AT ALL, NOT ONLY FROM THE ECONOMIC POINT OF VIEW. STUDYING ONCE AGAIN AFTER SOME YEARS OF HAVING FINISHED MY STUDIES IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES, AND FINDING MYSELF WITH ABOUT THIRTY YEARS OLD SURROUNDED BY COLLEAGUES IN THEIR TWENTIES WAS NOT SIMPLE SITUATION. BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT IS NEVER LATE TO STUDY AND LEARN, AND YOU ARE NEVER OLD ENOUGH FOR THAT. HAVING SAID ALL THESE, FOR CONCLUDING I MUST SAY THIS PORTFOLIO REPRESENTS A PART OF ME AND MY LIFE - ALMOST ONE THIRD OF ALL MY LIVING TIME. I HOPE WHOEVER IS READING THIS NOTES ENJOYS MY PROJECTS AND THIS PORTFOLIO AS LONG AS I ENJOYED PRODUCING THEM. ANTONELA ESTEFANIA SBORLINI ARCHITECT URBAN PLANNING STUDENT

CeMAA CENTRO MUNICIPAL
DE ARTES DE AZUL
CeMAA AZUL MUNICIPAL CENTRE OF ARTS ARCH. ALBERTO VARAS COURSE LEVEL 3 2010
THE FIRST PART OF THE WORK WAS DETERMINED BY (1) A SITE ANALYSIS (IDENTIFICATION OF BORDERS, LANDMARKS, PROGRAMS AND PROFILES), (2) A GAME FOR PROPOSING URBAN STRATEGIES AND (3) THE ANALYSIS OF A BUILDING (WOLFSBURG THEATRE).
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY THIS WAS A THEORETICAL PROJECT FOR THE CITY OF AZUL. THE MAIN IDEA WAS DEVELOPING A MASTER PLAN WHICH INVOLVED FOUR STRATEGIES: 1. ACCESSIBILITY AND URBAN/RURAL DEVELOPMENT. 2. STUDENT EXCHANGE. 3. PUBLIC/PRIVATE ARTICULATION FOR THE PRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT. 4. STRENGTHENING LOCAL IDENTITY. TO ACHIEVE THESE OBJECTIVES THE PROPOSAL WAS BUILDING A CENTER OF ARTS AND DEVELOPING A FEW INTERVENTIONS- NAMED PARASITES- INTO EXISTING BUILDINGS (SCHOOLS). DISTRIBUTING THESE BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENTS IN SPECIFIC PLACES, THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES WHILE ENHANCING THE MOBILITY AND CONNECTIONS THROUGH THE CITY. THE MAIN BUILDING (CeMAA) TOOK AS A STARTING POINT THE ANALYSIS OF THE WOLFSBURG THEATRE IN GERMANY PROJECTED BY THE ARCHITECT HANS SCHAROUN. CONSIDERING ITS LOCATION, IT CONNECTS THE TWO MARGINS OF AZUL RIVER AND IS SETTLED AS A LANDMARK FOR THE AREA. AN EXTENSIVE WORK WAS ALSO DEVELOPED CONSIDERING THE MATERIALITY, WHICH IS SYNTHETIZED AS THE CONTRAST BETWEEN A LIGHT SKIN AND A HEAVY BASEMENT.

UNA BUILDING IN SAN TELMO ARCH. BECKER/BRUNO/FAIVRE/SEBASTIAN COURSE LEVEL 4 2011
THIS WAS A GROUP UNDERGRADUATE PROJECT WHICH STARTED WITH A STRONG SITE ANALYSIS, SINCE PARTICULARLY THIS AREA HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL AND MATERIAL BACKGROUND. -THE NEXT PROJECT IS LOCATED CLOSE BY (PAG. 11/12)-.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY THE BUILDING WAS AN ACTIVITY TO PROPOSE A NEW HEADQUARTER FOR THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF ARTS (UNA) IN SAN TELMO, CABA. LOCATED IN FRONT OF LEZAMA PARK. THE IDEA WAS TO DEFINE A NEW LANDMARK FOR THE AREA. REGARDING URBAN CONSIDERATIONS, THE AIM WAS TO ESTABLISH A CORRESPONDENCE AMONG THE ENVIRONMENT, THE PROGRAM AND THE VOLUME OF THE BUILDING. PUBLIC USES ARE CLOSED TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE OVER PASEO COLON AVE, WHILE THE MOST PRIVATE AND SPECIFIC ONES (SUCH AS CLASSROOMS, OFFICES, THE ADMINISTRATION AREA) HAVE A CLEAR ENTRANCE BY A POSTERIOR ESPLANADE OVER BALCARSE STREET. THE BUILDING WAS SEPARATED FROM THE WALL WHICH DIVIDES THE PLOTS, GENERATING A WALKWAY, CONNECTING PASEO COLON AVENUE AND BALCARSE STREET. MATERIALITY AND FLEXIBILITY WERE ALSO IMPORTANT TOPICS. KEEPING THE PROJECT THE MOST SIMPLE AND PURE WAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TASKS. THE PEDAGOGICAL PRISM IS COVERED IN ALL ITS FACADES WITH THE SAME MATERIAL, WHOSE TREATMENT VARIES ACCORDING TO THE ORIENTATION, WHILE THE BASEMENT COMBINES GLASS AND CONCRETE.

SAN TELMO ARTE
STA BUILDING FOR ARTISTS IN SAN TELMO ARCH. ALBERTO VARAS COURSE LEVEL 5 2013
THIS PROJECT WAS THE LAST ONE DEVELOPED BEFORE GETTING THE ARCHITECTURAL DEGREE, AND IMPLIED A QUITE EXTENSIVE WORK. THE PREVIOUS STEP, BEFORE THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING ITSELF, WAS DIVIDED IN SIX PARTS, MENTIONED IN THE NEXT PAGE.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY BUILDING FOR ARTISTS IN SAN TELMO, BUENOS AIRES. THIS WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL PROJECT, WERE THE MAIN FOCUS WAS THE GEOMETRICAL RESEARCH. BY USING A NON CONVENTIONAL GEOMETRY, THE IDEA WAS TO ADAPT THE BUILDING TO THE ENVIRONMENT; LIMITING THE FOOTPRINT OF THE PROJECT AND ITS HEIGHTS. TWO SPECIFIC PUBLIC SPACES WERE DETERMINED BY THE BUILDING´S SHAPE: AN URBAN PLAYGROUND AND AN URBAN ATRIUM. THESE ONES ARE RELATED TO THE PROGRAM, DEFINED BY STACKING FUNCTIONS HELPING TO REDUCE THE FOOTPRINT, AND PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACE LIMITATIONS. LEAVING THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF FREE SPACE AT GROUND FLOOR LEVEL AND CONNECTING IT WITH THE BASEMENT, WAS RELATED TO THE INTENTION OF INCREASING ITS APPROPRIATION BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD. REGARDING TO THE VERTICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ARTISTIC FUNCTIONS, THE MAIN AIM WAS TO GENERATE A CIRCUIT OF ARTISTIC PRODUCTION, AVOIDING INTERFERENCES. ALSO THIS FACILITATES VENTILATION, LIGHTING AND CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE, MAKING THE ENTIRE BUILDING AN EXHIBITION PLACE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CITY.

The idea of making the model easily detachable helped to explain the organization of the stacked functions inside the volumetry, the definition of the open spaces at ground floor level and the connection between the different parts of the building itself.
15
THE MODEL AND THE CONSTRUCTIVE DETAILS WERE ALSO FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT, SINCE THEY WERE THE LAST STEPS FOR SHOWING THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE LAST CONSIDERATIONS MADE ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE AND THE SPACE.

PUERTO IBICUY
PUERTO IBICUY SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT ARCH. MICHELI COURSE SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE 2012
THE MAIN REFERENT FOR THIS PROJECT WAS THE GAVIA PARK PROPOSAL BY TOYO ITO (2005) DEVELOPED IN VILLECAS, MADRID, SPAIN. WHICH IS BASICALLY AN URBAN PARK BASED ON THE FILTERING AND RECYCLING OF RAIN AND GREY WATER.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY LOCATED IN PUERTO IBUCUY, ENTRE RIOS, 200KM NORTH EAST FROM BUENOS AIRES, THE MAIN AIM OF THE PROJECT, FROM THE URBAN POINT OF VIEW, WAS TO CONNECT THE EXISTENT TOWN WITH THE EXISTENT BUT NEGLECTED WETLANDS AND RIVER, BY PROMOTING THE REVITALIZATION OF THE AREA. APART FROM THE PROPOSAL OF HOUSING PROTOTYPES (NOT PRESENTED IN THIS SYNTHESIS), THE MOST INTERESTING ISSUE WAS THE CREATION OF TWO PARKS: A LINEAL ONE ACCOMPANYING THE TRAIN TRACKS AND ANOTHER ONE WITH ARTIFICIAL WETLANDS BESIDE THE NATURAL ONES (WHICH WAS THE MAIN AIM OF THE RESEARCH). AN EXHAUSTIVE RESEARCH RELATED TO FILTERING SYSTEMS, WATER STORAGE DEVICES AND NATURAL FUNCTIONS OF WETLANDS WAS DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO DEFINE THE PROPOSAL BASED ALSO ON THE GAVIA PARK PROJECT BY TOYO ITO. THE RESEARCH THAT LEAD TO THIS PROJECT, WAS ALSO VALUABLE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF PAYING ATTENTION TO WATER CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND WARNING ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON NATURAL WETLANDS AREAS, WHICH ARE NATURAL WATER SPONGES REGULATING RIVER FLOODS AND STABILIZING THE SURROUNDING ECOSYSTEM.

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
ORIGINAL CONDITION
THIS WAS AN INTERESTING RESEARCH PROJECT, WHICH WAS NOT BASED ON THE PROPOSAL OF A NEW ARCHITECTURAL OBJECT, BUT ON THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUNCTIONING OF AN ALREADY PROPOSED ONE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE THERMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE USED MATERIALS, ENERGY CONSUMPTION, COMFORT PARAMETERS AND LIGHT INCIDENCE. WHILE CONSIDERING DIFFERENT INDICATORS, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PROPOSE CHANGES TO THE BUILDING, IN TERMS OF IMPROVING INSULATION AND DEVELOPING SUMMER STRATEGIES . SMALL CHANGES, THAT COULD INCREASE JUST IN A MINIMUM AMOUNT THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS -IN THE SHORT RUN-, COULD REDUCE ENERGY LOSSES AND GAS CONSUMPTIONS, INCREASING THE GENERAL COMFORT FOR THE INHABITANTS, AND REDUCE COSTS IN THE LONG RUN. THE RESEARCH WAS ORGANIZED IN SIX STEPS: (1) GENERAL ANALYSIS OF THE -RESIDENTIAL- BUILDING CONSIDERING ITS ORGANIZATION, LOCATION AND MATERIALS; (2) DESCRIPTION OF THE THERMAL CHARACTERISTICS; (3) ENERGETIC LABELING; (4) SHADOW CASTS; (5) ANALYSIS OF INTERNAL TEMPERATURES AND COMFORT CONDITIONS; AND (6) SUMMER STRATEGIES (PASSIVE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN).

CODECITY ISLA MARTIN GARCIA ARCH. VARAS COURSE URBAN PROJECT 2013 PUBLISHED ON http://www.proyectored.org/pu/index.php?/ciudades/2013-codecity/
THE MAIN IDEA OF THIS EXCERSICE WAS TO THINK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES FOR THE CREATION OF NEW CITIES, WITH NEW RULES AND LOGICS OF GENERATION. THAT IS WHY THE ANALYSIS OF THE AREA WAS NOT A CRUCIAL POINT OR IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY THIS THEORETICAL PROJECT (LOCATED IN ISLA MARTIN GARCIA, BUENOS AIRES) IS A MODIFICATION OF THE TRADITIONAL CITY CONCEPT WITHOUT SQUARE BLOCKS. LONGITUDINAL BLOCKS ARE PROPOSED WHILE CIRCULATION SYSTEMS ORGANIZE CONNECTIONS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CITY. THE AIM WAS GENERATING A CODE THAT COULD BE APPLIED EVERYWHERE, JUST CONSIDERING LIMITS AND USING PROPOSED PLUGGINGS. REGULATION OF CONSTRUCTED MASS ARE BASED ON DIFFERENT PERCENTAGES OF USES, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES AND DENSITY, ESTABLISHED BY BLOCK, WITH SPECIFIC FOT, FOS AND MAXIMUM HEIGHT VALUES. THE GENERAL WORK WAS ORGANIZED FOLLOWING 5 LAYERS: (1) DENSITY. USING ABSTRACT IMAGES OF TISSUES AND FRAMES, TO DETERMINE NEW WAYS OF ORGANIZATIONS FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. (2) USES. THROUGH THE STUDY OF RELATIONSHIPS OF FUNCTIONS BY DIAGRAMS. (3) FLOWS. TO UNDERSTAND WHAT EACH TRANSPORT IMPLIES AND REQUIRES. (4) FABRIC AND LANDSCAPE. BY A CODE LIMITING HEIGHT AND PROXIMITY OF MASS BUILT. (5) PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SPACES. USING PERCENTAGES, AND CONSIDERING THE DUALITY BUILT-UNBUILT.

THE IDEA WAS TO ANALYZE AND UNDERSTAND HOUSING CONDITIONS IN JOSE C. PAZ, A CITY OF ABOUT 230000 INHABITANTS LOCATED 40KM AWAY FROM THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES IN NORTHWEST DIRECTION, APPLYING THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK DEVELOPED DURING THE TAKEN COURSE.
02
THE RESULT OF THE ANALYSIS SHOWED A COMPLETE DIFFERENT DYNAMIC: THERE WAS NO A REAL PROBLEM ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF HOUSES AVAILABLE (IN OTHER WORDS, THERE WAS NOT A DEFICIT IN THE HOUSING STOCK), THE POINT WAS THAT MOST OF THEM WERE NOT IN GOOD CONDITIONS (DEFICIT IN QUALITATIVE NOT QUANTITATIVE TERMS). BESIDES THIS, THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE CITY SHOWED AN INEFFICIENT OCCUPATION, MAKING THE GENERAL LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE INHABITANTS QUITE DEFICIENT.

THROUGH THE USE OF DIFFERENT INDICATORS AND A DEEP RESEARCH, IT WAS POSSIBLE TO ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE ECONOMIC SITUATION, THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND HOMES WITH UNSATISFIED BASIC NEEDS AND THE NUMBER OF VILLAS (CHARACTERISTIC ILLEGAL AND INFORMAL SETTLEMENT OF ARGENTINA) AND SETTLEMENTS. THE STARTING POINT WAS THE CONSIDERATION OR THE POST OF A HYPOTHESIS RELATED TO THE LACKING OF SUFFICIENT HOUSING FOR THE INHABITANTS OF THE AREA.
THE IDEA OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO CHOSE A TOPIC TO BE ANALYZED (HOUSING), THEN TO IDENTIFY AN URBAN PROBLEM (HOUSING DEFICIT AND THE PRESENCE OF VILLAS AND SETTLEMENTS) AND FINALLY TO PRESENT A CASE (JOSE C. PAZ CITY).

IN ORDER TO MAKE THIS FORGOTTEN AREA A VIBRANT AND INTERESTING ONE, SEVERAL THEMATIC AREAS WERE DEFINED IN LINE WITH THE PROGRAMMATIC PROPOSAL : FOR EXAMPLE A BOTANICAL GARDEN AND A MUSEUM OF ECOLOGICAL SCIENCES.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY THE MAIN ISSUES CONSIDERED FOR THE PROPOSAL WERE RELATED TO THE FOLLOWING CONCEPTS: SUSTAINABILITY, TECHNOLOGY, EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (STER). AFTER AN EXTENSIVE SITE ANALYSIS, APART FROM DEVELOPING NEW CONNECTIONS IN ORDER TO PROPOSE A NEW PART OF THE CITY IN A CURRENT EXISTENT VOID (SURROUNDED BY A4 HIGHWAY AND THE RAILWAY), THE MAIN INTENTION WAS TO GENERATE A BALANCE BETWEEN EXISTING ACTIVITIES AND USES (ILLEGAL HARVEST) AND NEW INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS. THESE NEW PROGRAMS HAVE THE AIM OF ENHANCING THE URBAN SOCIO ECONOMICAL DYNAMISM OF THE AREA AND DEVELOPING A COHERENT PROJECT. THE MASTERPLAN PROPOSAL WAS MADE FOLLOWING THE CONSIDERATIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE MUNICIPALITY OF NOVATE MILANESE IN ITS PGT. RESPECTING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PRIVATE AREAS, CIVIC EQUIPMENT LOCATIONS, COMPENSATION AND URBAN GREEN AREAS. AS PART OF THE ACTIVITY, AN ANALYSIS OF THE POSSIBLE ACTORS INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT AND COSTS WAS DEVELOPED, IN ORDER TO START UNDERSTANDING THE DYNAMICS AND FORCES INVOLVED FOR A REAL PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION IN A GIVEN AREA OF THE CITY.

GRID SCALO FARINI - MIAW DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
MILAN INTERNATIONAL ARCHITECTURE WORKSHOP 2017 Visiting Professor Arch. LUIS BASABE MONTALVO - Tutor Arch. TALITA MEDINA PUBLISHED ON http://arenasbasabepalacios.com/blog/2017/03/06/scalo-farini-the-game/ http://www.miaw.polimi.it/2017/03/the-game-is-about-to-start-2/
THE NAME OF THE ACTIVITY WAS “WHO MAKES THE CITY?” THAT IS WHY THE FOCUS OF GRID WAS ON THE DECISIONS AND INTERACTIONS AMONG DIFFERENT DEVELOPERS, FOCUSING RATHER ON THE ACTIONS AND PROCESSES THAN ON THE FINAL OBJECT.
GRID GAME WAS RELATED TO A PROCESS OF URBAN TRANSFORMATION CONSIDERING EXISTING ELEMENTS OF THE URBAN TISSUE BUT ALSO THE SOCIAL, ECONOMICAL AND CULTURAL ASPECTS OF FARINI RAIL YARD IN MILAN. SEVERAL ANALYSIS WERE DONE, CONSIDERING THE WORKING SCALE (1.1000), TO FIGURE OUT CONDITIONS SUCH AS, THE LOCATION OF FARINI AREA WITHIN THE CITY, ITS HISTORY, PREVIOUS AND CURRENT FUNCTIONS. THE TERRITORY WAS SIMPLIFIED AND ORGANIZED IN GRIDS IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE DECISIONS OF THE PLAYERS, FOLLOWING THE SLOGAN OF THE PROJECT, LET’S SIMPLIFY! FOUR SYMBOLIC PLAYERS WERE PROPOSED: THE PUBLIC, DEVELOPER 1, DEVELOPER 2 AND THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPERS, EACH ONE WITH DIFFERENT ROLES, INTERESTS AND POSSIBILITIES. THE GAME WAS DEVELOPED IN DIFFERENT PHASES INDICATED BY THE DICE (LAND, VOTE, CARD AND BUILD), BEING THE VOTING ONE QUITE RELEVANT, SINCE IT IS LINKED WITH A PROCESS OF COORDINATION, COOPERATION AND DECISION MAKING WHERE ALL THE ACTORS OR PARTICIPANTS ARE INVOLVED. THE POSSIBILITY OF THE EXISTENCE OF HAZARDOUS EVENTS WAS CONTEMPLATED THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EVENT LETTERS. THE FINAL RESULT IS A GAME BOARD WHERE THE INTERESTS OF THE PLAYERS ARE PLOTTED ON THE TERRITORY.

FIG.48 (Above). BOARD OF THE GAME WITH ITS MAIN COMPONENTS. The different cards, the proposed currency (named Farinis), the cube, the eraser that forms a set with the score block and the different tokens: representing the function of the buildings (colors) and the open spaces, together with the property assignment of the plots by each player (gray ones).
THE GAME THEMATIZES THE NEGOTIATION ITSELF, AND IS ABLE TO DESCRIBE VERY DIFFERENT REALITIES –VALUES, TOPOLOGIES, ACTORS, ACTIONS, CONTEXTS, ETC.- WITH DIFFERENT TOOLS WITHIN A SINGLE OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORK.
URBANISM POLITECNICO DI MILANO
FIG.49 (Sequence above). CARDS OF THE GAME. Four different players are proposed and each one has specific cards that introduce events (positive or negative) that could guide the development of the entire game. The proposed players are (1) The Individual Developer, (2) Medium Scale Developer 1, (3) Medium Scale Developer 2 and (4) The Public. Each one has different interests and possibilities, starting from the initial assignment of money for buying land and allowances of uses.

THE IMAGES ARE PART OF AN INTERESTING PROJECT THAT STARTED WITH AN IDENTIFICATION OF SOMETHING (IT) THAT WAS INTERESTING OF THE CITY OF MILAN (AVOIDING THE USUAL CLICHE). THE PRESENCE OF UNUSED BALCONIES AND THE DUALITY WITH BARE WALLS WAS A RECURRENT CONDITION IN THE CITY. THE INDIVIDUAL OBJECTS (IT) AND THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SURROUNDINGS (W(IT)H) WERE THE BASIS FOR THE PROPOSALS. A CRUCIAL POINT WAS THE PRESENCE OF PEOPLE, THE USE AND THE SYMBOLIC MEANING OF THE OBJECTS INVOLVED; THAT IS WHY MOST OF THE PROPOSALS ARE BASED ON POP-UP INTERVENTIONS, WHERE THE PRESENCE OF EVENTS AND THE CONCEPT OF TEMPORALITY AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES.

POP-UP IS NOT JUST A MEANS OF RECOVERY BUT A PROMISING MODEL OF PARTICIPATORY ORGANIZATION AS THE CITY MOVES FORWARD. PEOPLE HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO RESHAPE THEIR OWN CITY, THEIR OWN MILAN. THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK IS NOT REPRODUCED IN THIS PORTFOLIO, BUT A DEEP ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT BIBLIOGRAPHIC SOURCES (DEBORD, DERRIDA, LEFEBVRE, BARTHES) WAS DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES THE MENTIONED SYMBOLIC DIMENSION AND DUALITY MEAN AND IMPLY FOR THE CITY.

MODENA
IN-BETWEEN DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY “IN BETWEEN” WAS BORN AS THE GUIDING CONCEPT FOR ANALYZING AND GIVING ANSWER TO THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS AND DEFICIENCIES OF THE NORTH AREA OF MODENA. THE SEQUENCE OF HISTORICAL EVENTS, PLANS AND TRANSFORMATIONS PRODUCED A FRAGMENTED AREA WHERE THREE PROPOSED TYPES OF IN BETWEEN COULD BE RECOGNIZED.
INTEGRATING THE ISLAND LIMITED BY THE TWO STRONG BARRIERS WAS THE MAIN AIM, BEING DONE THROUGH THE USE OF THE 4 SPINES (LIKING IN NORTH-SOUTH SENSE); BUT IT WAS ALSO IMPORTANT TO GENERATE A DIALOGUE IN TRANSVERSAL WAY INSIDE THE ISLAND.

THE MASTER PLAN WAS BASED ON 2 STRATEGIES: (1) FOUR SPINES IN NORTH-SOUTH DIRECTION TO LINK THE AREA WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS AND OVERCOME THE MAIN BARRIERS AND (2) TWO SYSTEMS WERE PROPOSED GROUNDED ON THE CITY’S HISTORY AND THE AREA PRE-EXISTENCES TO CONNECT THE SCATTERED ELEMENTS: - A LOCAL SYSTEM TO REGENERATE AND LINK THE EXISTENT NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGH OPEN SPACES AND EQUIPMENT; -A PRODUCTION HERITAGE SYSTEM TO ATTRACT NEW INHABITANTS AND REVITALIZE THE LOCAL ECONOMY ON THE BASIS OF THE PROMOTION OF EVENTS, TOURISTIC CIRCUITS AND NEW CREATIVE-CRAFT PRODUCTIONS. THE OVERLAPPING OF THE THESE SYSTEMS DETERMINES THE MAIN TRANSFORMATION AND REGENERATION AREAS, LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL SPINE, GIVING ANSWER TO THE MAIN VOIDS AND INTERRUPTED PROJECTS. SEVERAL ON-SITE PROJECT PROPOSALS WERE DEFINED, WORKING ON THE OPEN SPACE AND FOCUSING ON TEMPORAL AND SMALL INTERVENTIONS.

DESIMONE HOUSE OSAWA ARCHITECTS
DESIMONE HOUSE BELLA VISTA HOUSE IN CONSTRUCTION OSAWA ARCHITECTS & ASSOC 2014
THIS PROJECT, DESPITE THE SIMPLICITY IMPLIED A LOT OF WORK, SINCE THERE WERE SEVEN PROPOSALS MADE TO THE CLIENT BEFORE ARRIVING TO THE FINAL ONE. THE MAIN REASON OD THE CHANGES WERE DUE TO THE FLUCTUATING ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY INDIVIDUAL HOUSE LOCATED IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF BUENOS AIRES, SPECIFICALLY IN A CITY CALLED BELLA VISTA. THE MAIN REQUIREMENT BY THE CLIENT WAS TO DESIGN A SIMPLE AND ECONOMIC HOUSE, IN ORDER TO BUILD IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND WITH THE POSSIBILITY TO DEVELOP IT IN STEPS. THAT IS WHY TO SEPARATED VOLUMES WERE PROPOSED, THE MAIN HOUSE AND A BARBECUE AREA WITH A COMPLEMENTARY BEDROOM, SMALL KITCHEN AND BATHROOM. IT WAS CRUCIAL TO KEEP A CLOSE CONNECTION WITH THE POOL AND THE GARDEN, IN THE SAME WAY ORIENTATIONS WERE CRUCIAL. BOTH VOLUMES WERE DEVELOPED IN ONE FLOOR, COVERING THE HOUSE 68.38M2 MEANWHILE THE BARBECUE AREA A COVERED SURFACE OF 17.86M2 AND SEMI-COVERED OF 41.59M2 (THIS AREA IS NORMALLY KNOWN AS “PARRILLA” IN SPANISH). THE CHOSEN MATERIALS WERE CEMENT PLASTER IN A LIGHT COLOR, WOOD SUITABLE FOR EXTERIORS BOTH IN WALLS AND SUNGLASSES, AND GLASS. ONLY A FEW BUT WITH INTERESTING DIMENSIONS WINDOWS WERE PROPOSED IN ORDER TO MAKE THE INTERIORS THE MORE BRIGHT POSSIBLE. AFTER THE PRESENTATION OF THIS PROPOSAL MANY CHANGES WERE CONSIDERED TO ADJUST TO THE CLIENT'S REQUIREMENTS. FIG.74 (Above). SCHEMATIC RENDERING OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT (ONE OF THE FIRST PROPOSALS). This included not only the house but also a semi-covered area for barbecues, with a small bedroom area and bathroom, in close relationship with the pool and the park of the house (searching for the best orientation and lighting conditions).

THE DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO THE CUSTOMER WAS COMPLEMENTED WITH A COMPUTE OF DETAILED MATERIALS AND THEIR CORRESPONDING BUDGET. INDICATING WORK STAGES AND ESTIMATED TIMES. THE CONSTRUCTION ADDRESS WAS IN CHARGE OF THE STAFF OF OSAWA ARCHITECTS.

LEMHOFER HOUSE ANTONELA SBORLINI
LEMHOFER HOUSE MORENO PROJECT REMODELING EXISTING INDIVIDUAL HOUSE 2016
THIS WAS A PARTICULARLY INTERESTING PROJECT FOR ME, SINCE I WAS CONTACTED AS A SINGLE PROFESSIONAL, WITHOUT ANY ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO BEHIND, VISITING THE PLACE, TALKING TO THE CLIENT AND DESIGNING.
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY REMODELING AND ENLARGEMENT OF AN EXISTING HOUSE LOCATED IN MORENO, METROPOLITAN AREA OF BUENOS AIRES. THE MAIN ISSUE OF THE EXISTENT HOUSE WAS THE LACKING OF NATURAL LIGHTING (EVEN IN LIVING AREAS, BEING THIS AGAINST THE BUILDING REGULATIONS), TOGETHER WITH THE LACK OF PROPER AND COMFORTABLE SPACES - IN FACT ONE OF THE THREE INHABITANTS OF THE HOUSE USED TO SLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM. THE PROPOSAL WAS DEVELOPED LEAVING THE GROUND FLOOR SURFACE WITHOUT ANY CHANGES (88.97M2), MEANWHILE TRYING TO KEEP AT MINIMUM THE DEMOLITION OF WALLS (PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE STRUCTURAL CONDITIONS OF THE HOUSE). THE CONCEPT OF THIS LEVEL WAS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF AN OPEN AND FLUID SPACE, COMPLEMENTED BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW FLOOR OF 48.57M2. WHERE POSSIBLE BIGGER AND NEW WINDOWS WERE PROPOSED. THE FACADES WERE TREATED IN THE SIMPLEST WAY POSSIBLE, TO REDUCE CONSTRUCTION COSTS, AND TO MAINTAIN THE EXISTENT APPEARANCE (SINCE THE FACADE ON THE STREET HAD BEEN RECENTLY IMPROVED). THE ADDITION OF THE NEW FLOOR WAS DESIGNED IN A MODERN VOLUMETRIC WAY, BUT TRYING NOT TO GENERATE A BIG CONTRAST. FIG.77 (Above). SCHEMATIC INTERIOR RENDER OF THE PROPOSED OPEN ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE. The idea was to make the existent house the most luminous possible and adding a first floor, to increase the surface and have the possibility to live in a more comfortable way.

AFTER THE PRELIMINARY PRESENTATION, HAVING DEVELOPED THE CURRENT PROPOSAL AND AN APPROXIMATE BUDGET, UNFORTUNATELY, DUE TO ECONOMIC REASONS, THE CLIENT DECIDED NOT TO CONTINUE WITH THE IDEA OF IMPROVING HER HOUSE.

LOS ROBLES HOUSE E-ARK ARCHITECTURE
LOS ROBLES HOUSE PILAR HOUSE IN CONSTRUCTION E-ARK ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN 2016
THIS WAS ALSO A QUITE COMPLEX PROJECT, NOT FROM THE PROJECTUAL, MORPHOLOGICAL OR PROGRAMMATIC POINT OF VIEW, BUT FROM THE ONE OF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CLIENTS. IT INVOLVED SEVERAL MEETINGS AND CHANGES (ALL OFF THEM KEEPING THE
DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY INDIVIDUAL HOUSE DEVELOPED IN TWO FLOORS, LOCATED IN A GATED COMMUNITY IN THE NORTH WEST PART OF THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF BUENOS AIRES, IN A CITY NAMED PILAR (CHARACTERIZED BY THE HUGE PRESENT OF GATED COMMUNITIES, AS IT CAN BE SEEN IN THE RESEARCH PROJECT NAMED HOUSING DEFICIT JOSE C. PAZ). THE MAIN IDEA OF THE AESTHETICS OF THE HOUSE WAS TO KEEP IT IN LINE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD (TRYING TO MERGE IT WITH THE INTENTIONS AND DESIRES OF THE CLIENTS): SIMPLE VOLUMETRIC UNITS, OCHER COLORS AND STRICT RESTRICTIONS ABOUT THE FOOTPRINT DUE TO THE IRREGULARITY OF THE PLOT. THE VOLUME THAT HOSTS THE STAIRS IS THE MAIN ARTICULATOR OF ALL THE OTHERS, GENERATING A COMPACT FORM. IT IS A HOUSE DEVELOPED IN TWO FLOORS WITH A TOTAL SURFACE OF 150.16M2, THAT HAS THREE BEDROOMS, THREE BATHROOMS (ONE OF THEM IN DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE OUTSIDE, THE POOL AND THE SEMI-COVERED AREA) AND THE KITCHEN-LIVING ROOM DEVELOPING A SPATIAL CONTINUITY. THERE IS ALSO AN UNCOVERED AREA (JUST WITH A WOODEN PERGOLA) FOR THE CAR.
FIG.81 (Above). AXONOMETRIC SCHEME OF ONE OF THE FIRST PROPOSALS. A simple project developed in two floors, with a simple and volumetric aesthetic, which was in line with the aesthetic parameters of the medium class gated community where it was to be built.

PROPOSAL MORE OR LESS IN THE SAME LINE) BUT GENERATING A DEVELOPMENT OF ABOUT TEN VARIATIONS AND DELAYS. FORTUNATELY, BY MID OF 2016, THE HOUSE STARTED TO BE BUILT, INSIDE A GATED NEIGHBORHOOD (BUT STILL WITH ONGOING CHANGES).
