VERTICAL SOCIAL HOUSING
eastern area expansion of the Naples’s business center The Naples Business Center (Centro Direzionale) is a set of skyscrapers located in the Poggioreale district, near the station of Central Naples. The project consists in the expansion of the structure on the west side (an unbuilt area of 11 hectares) through the creation of an urban park and a residential tower designed according to the rules of social housing, a system that aims to create a diverse community of residents which includes the various economic and social classes. The new urban passage also has the function of solving the biggest problem of the Centro Direzionale, that is the low turnout (and its degradation) that grips the complex after the closing hours of the offices.

PATH OF GODS INSPIRATION HOSTEL 2019 ideas competition
PATH OF GODS Located in a portion of unspoiled nature in the ancient “Path of the Gods” (“Sentiero degli Dei”), on the marvelous Amalfi Coast (Italy), the hostel consists of a thin and long modular grid in which various functional spaces are located. The structure is positioned overlooking the slope, to favor the panoramic view of the place and give to the visitor artists the sensation to work or study suspended in nature. The reception areas and the multifunctional laboratory are located at the beginning of the structure, in the zone connected to the rocky mountain. The rooms/studios are increasingly suspended over the vegetation walking the distribution corridors, which connect all the capsules to the focal point of the hostel, the Sphere. In the upper shell of the latter there is the library, at the center of which is accessed via a lift to the lower shell, the room of silence, a place where the suspension in mid-air space is felt more than in any other place of the structure. The shell that covers the prospects is made of oxidized metal, which hides the hostel in the vegetation to minimize its visual impact. At the same time, the camouflage given by the metal highlights the suspended sphere, especially in the evening, in which at the sight of the visitors it gives the impression of being a metaphysical luminous globe floating in the woods.

FLOATING HOUSE ideas competition
The concept of the Floating House was developed by imagining the floating home’s micro-environment as embedded in a sort of light semi-transparent shell, which allows to enjoy the coastal landscape while remaining in a well defined private space. The housing unit is on two levels that develop around a central hub: a single piece of furniture containing all the functions necessary for living. The Floating House is entirely self-sufficient thanks to energy production systems integrated into its design: two marine turbines installed under the floating platform, the docking to the quay via hydraulic piston that creates energy from the motion induced by the waves, the photovoltaic fabric covering. The aggregation system of the Floating Houses consists of a branching of bridges that follows the cardinal principles of the Japanese metabolism: flexibility, conscient incompleteness and almost unlimited reproducibility over the time. Almost all of these paths, expanding on the coast, end with the entrances of the housing units, while the remaining part is left “free”. The latter constitute the principle of a potential expansion, the starting point for a new ecosystem of Floating Houses. TOPICS: #InteriorDesign #Research

HOUSE/01 private attic 115mq
An empty attic transformed in a living space with as few walls as possible. The two main space of the house are divided by a “filter wall” made by 8 wooden panels that can rotate on themselves, which therefore allow a complete opening and closing of the wall, and also a “middle mode” with the panels rotated by 45°. On the south side ther’s a large open-space living area, with kitchen and living room; it is the brightest space in the house due to the large window that fills almost the entire wall. To the north-east are the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which can be accessed via a wall-bookcase that hides the entrance doors. Designed in this way, the space has a defined character - when the filter wall is open it becomes one space with the living area - and does not result in an empty passage area, characteristic of classic distribution corridors.

MBS4E competition
The concept of the MBS4E - Modular Bus Station for Everywhere - is based on the succession of a series of profiles that assembled together form a bus station based on place of installation, responding to the ever-changing specificities of the various urban spaces. The modules are 6 different prepainted aluminum profiles, each containing different services: signage, seats,ticket office, information panel, a waste bin, a speaker that plays selected music, a specific space for people waiting for the bus standing while remaining inside the module. Although the combinations of the modules are free and innumerable, there are 4 “standard”, called S-ML-XL, which respond to 4 different predefined spatial needs. The intent is to provide citizens with essential, clean, contemporary and - above all - stimulating design. With their high-tech candor these bus stations are, within the urban organized chaos, similar to oases in which waiting turns into an opportunity to enjoy a space designed specifically for that single moment, not a cold standardized element repeated identically both in a metropolis and in a small decentred town.

LUUUNGA prototype
Luuunga is a prototype for a desk lamp made by wood and plexiglass. The ratio between length and width is about 1/10, which makes the lamp a sort of bell tower-lighthouse for the desk on which it is easily installed by a clamp. TOPIC: #Furniture

CHAIR n.1 prototype
Personal prototype of the iconic “chair n.1” designed by Enzo Mari. In this version there’s a book compartment under the seat and the backrest is rotated 180° compared to the original project to give more comfort to at the seat. The chair is part of the “Autoprogettazione” series (1974), designed by Mari to proclaim the democratization of design with the purpose to make people build their own furniture. The basic concept is to give at the user, for free, the executive drawings (chairs, tables, beds, bookcases) so he can make them himself, even modifying the design according to his creativity or needs. In this way peoples learns simple construction and design methods. Enzo Mari claims that design is true only if it communicates knowledge. TOPIC: #Furniture

MONOCHROMATIC CAPSULE a space to relax
A work derives by a research on color linked mostly to architecture and the primary importance it has on the composition. Each color has intrinsically its own language, history, meaning made up of historical and biological stratifications that contributes decisively to the idea we have of the world we “visualize”. Colors should never be studied individually but always in relation to the context in which they’re submitted (simple example: a small circle of the same color surrounded by a white or black profile will be interpreted by our eye, once clearer, once darker). In this study the context and the consequent chromatic variety is completely deleted because the spaces and the objects that make up the capsules are entirely of the same color. The differences in tone (which are multiple and contrast each other even if the base color is the same) and the shape of the elements is dictated exclusively by lights and shadows generated by illumination. The result are a plastic, artificial and almost “alien” environment, but somehow comfortable to the eyes. This is a catalog imagining a future in which the capsule are produced, assembled, colored and sold in series as domestic spaces. TOPICS: #Furniture #InteriorDesign #Research

TEMPORARY FUTURE OSAKA 1970 editorial
Editorial project about the metabolist’s architecture of Expo Osaka 1970. The text are from PROJECT JAPAN, METABOLISM TALKS... (Rem Koolhaas - Hans Ulrich Obrist) Taschen,2011 “Expo ‘70 is an unadulterated success in terms of media coverage, popularity, and profitability But it turns out to be a point of no return in a series of modern transitions: from the nation-state to globalism, from the West to the East, from the public sector to the private, and, most critically for the Metabolists, from master planning on a grand scale to much more limited ambitions.” TOPIC: #GraphicDesign
