Informative Pavillon for the Bienal of Venice

Project pubblished in “Moving Architetture�, edited by Aracne Prof. Franca Pittaluga Year 2008/2009



Many kinds of information can be given through a pavillon and diverse are the channels of communication that can be used: books, televisions, interactive screens, posters, oral announcements, brochure. Information has to be free and available for every kind of user. It’s then key to design a pavillon with a series of devices that can communicate with everyone with the same effectiveness. The mechanism of utilization has to be simple and, at the same time, catchy. CONCEPT. The concept for this pavillon is the Swiss penknife: it opens depending on the needs. Closed when unused or barely used, open to give diverse levels of information. When closed it’s a parallelepiped, when open it changes shape depending on which kind of information people want to see. It’s composed of different objects, two benches, a drawer, some parallelepipeds that have to be pushed to “display” information. MATERIALS. It is constituted of boxes, the material is glossed steel. The white bodies don’t move, instead the red ones contain the information and can be moved. DIMENSIONS. It measures 6x1 meters, it’s height is 2 meters.



Sustainable holiday’s residences in Corsica Project exhibited at the Grenoble Bienal, France Summer workshop at IUAV university Prof. Marina Montuori Year 2006

The project deals with a sustainable holiday’s residence in Corsica, located near the Coast. The residence is inspired to “nuraghe”, traditional monolitic residences typical of Sardegna and Corsica regions. East exposition toward the sea is favoured and, taking advantage from soil drop, the building is buried to be protect from the winds. The walls are built “a sacco” a technique typical of mediterranean countries wihich means putting one brick (or stone) over the other without using binders.

Over the house there’s a terrace from which is possible to admire the landscape. The building is consituted of three blocks, two of which are linked internally, instead the third is an independent body. They are positioned at different heights. A system of lower vaults on the roof permits the light to enter from above the living room-building and the bedroomsbuilding. The other building is more intimate, a lecture room. Here there’s no windows, the light is entering from littlle

holes dug in the facade; when it’s dark these holes trasform the wall in a starry night. The natural daylight comes from a cone on the roof, which also permits natural air circulation. They are wind-towers.



Conceptual design of a desert island Summer workshop at IUAV university “Salotto Buono” Design Studio Year 2009

In the imaginary of people islands has always been objects on which we can dream, places of other possibilities. During this workshop we got to know the island from different perspectives: 1) as an imaginary city of which we had to tell the story of its origin; 2) as a physical entity. We experienced it living two days in a desert island in the Lagoon of Venice, Mazzorbetto. Walking on it, measuring it, we listened to its stories. 3) as a model or as a candle (objects built by our hand). 4) as part of a painting. We inserted it inside famous paintings to see which meaning it could get from the picture and which other lecture it could give to the painting. In the first case we re-interpreted one of the 12 cities described by Superstudio. In the second case we drew a story set in the London Zoo. In the last one we put the island inside the picture “Morning in the tropic” of Churchill. Every time it was a turnover of stereotypes, the vision of a different opportunity.

This project deals with the urban regenaration of an area located just outside the citywalls of Vicenza (Italy), behind the rail tracks. The project consists of a long walk starting from Via Milano, that passes through the new park and finally ends up over the building which hosts a schools and a library. The other buildings facing the public square host commercial activities on the ground floor and apartments for students and young couples on the upper levels. There are a series of low density apartments buildings for elder people spread into the park. The public square hosts trees and benches to rest and meet people. This area was conceived to attract young people which can have easy and fast access to the station, and old people which are well connected with the city center. The whole project is designed to be highly used in the 24 hours.

“Neurological Connections”. Rehabilitation Project of Lio Piccolo, Venice Prof. Stefano Rocchetto Year 2010

Project Masterplan



The project’s aim is the rehabilitation of the territory of Venice Lagoon, precisely of Lio Piccolo Village. The project idea comes from the lecture of the territory: Lio Piccolo is a piece of land deeply used by the man, surrounded by wetland and water. The signs tell about the earth on which they are impressed. The regular net traced by human activities on the territory (agriculture, fishing valleys, etc) is in some points interrupted to give space to human settlements, linked with each other through roads and artificial channels. The land appears as a nervous system, already set, composed by corridors and nodes where the first link the second. The intervention should be respectful of this lecture: it should enter in dialogue with the preexistences. The project area, Lio Piccolo’s village, is alrealdy a node we should just re-activate it and connect it with the territory of the Lagoon. It can be experienced for didactics uses by students and by tourists as an alternative holiday in order to high sensitivity toward the fragile landscape of the Lagoon. There is a road, coming from Cavallino-Treporti which pass in front of the borgo; from the landing place where will stop private ships


and boats and the public line of ferry boats, a pathway, following the natural bank, reaches the village. It configures itself as a corridor walkable by foot and by bike. The two nodes it connects are the Lagoon and the village. Between these two, other happenings are set: a typical house or storage, a viewpoint, etc.. Small boats could reach directly the back of the village sailing the channel. The restoration project includes all the buildings of Lio Piccolo. They all changed their original function (as principal house, house of the farmers and storage) except from the church. There are a Bed and Breakfast, a museum of local biodiversity and activities, an auditorium, a little shop used to sell the products of the land and a didactical laboratory. There are new buildings, one is a restaurant configuring the access to the village, both from the street and from the pathway, the others are storages, which contains the tractors used in the fields and all the devices used for fishing and for the vegetable gardens. In front of the restaurant building there is an orchard. The village is run by a family who look after the activities and the organisation of the didactical and touristical experiences.

“Gate to a slow World”, Chinese Fondaco in Marghera

International Workshop in Venice: Atoms&Bits: the opportunities of the New Silk Road Prof. Giuseppe Longhi Year 2010

The Erasmus Intensive Programme (IP) work hypothesis were inspired by the contents of the Lisbon Conference “how to build the most advanced communication society of the world” and by the reflection proposed by the planning document Europa-2020 “connecting technological innovation and equity”. These requests stimulate designers and planners to assess the effects of the possible integration between atoms and bits, namely of material structures and intangible assets, and to propose innovati

ve design scenarios. A new bridge is capable of connecting the European and the Asian experiences: this bridge materializes in the realization of the “New Silk Route”. The site plan is located in a abandoned industrial area of Venice Porto Marghera. CHINA FONDACO The China cluster will prioritise the cultural activities and stimulate exchange between fields of Chinese and European knowledge, with the aim of promoting their conservation, and their regeneration.

It will have nuclear structure, with a system of elements which exercise a gravitational pull, keeping the balance in the system. In our case the gravitational attractor element is constituted by the ideas. The cornerstone of the project is concentrated in the creative capacity of a multiethnic society; this will be expressed through the involvement and the comparison between the Chinese community in Venice, a very active and rapidly expanding community, and the Venetian


companies that work and produce in China. The design of the cluster will be based on the principles of Feng Shui, accordingly the set of new morphological elements will be two hills, whose function will be to block the cold winds coming from Siberia and the Balkans. Furthermore the hills will have a role of biological depolluter for the soil of Portomarghera. The vision of “a gate to a slow world” articulated in three knots: • art of memory, concentrated on the study and the dissemination of the arts,

identified in the floating settlements; • art of nature, experimentation of the traditional Eastern practices such as agriculture and medicine. They grow as Eastern gardens inside of the Park system; • art of creativity, a new technological centre, which exerts a gravitational force in that it plays the role of creative hub that dialogues with the world.


Interactive bubliocious facade for Fulya Market, Istanbul

INTERACTIVE CHANGING FACADE

During the Design Studio Course in Istanbul I worked on a urban project in Fulya, a district located in the European side of the city, pretty close to Besiktas. One of the exercises proposed by the teachers was to design an interactive façade for the parking used as a market place every saturday. It has two floors. We imagined the façade as an extension of the market which gives also other services: it would communicate with the citizens and it’d give different kinds of facilities. The baskets that citizens use at the market to pick up vegetables and fruits will become the unit to design the entire façade. Different sizes will become different objects to turn, to push, to fold, to sit on. In this way the facade will become an object to be used. People can have a feedback when they use it. They are able to change the architecture depending on their needs, and architecture will reply.

“NYCT Import-Export 2.0” Competition Project finalist in the NYCT Theater Exhibition, Archmedium Prof. Giuseppe Longhi Year 2011

The compettion proposal required to design a theater, highly used by street’s artists, the citizens and everyone who wants to share and to perform creativity in New York. We wanted this area to have different kind of creativity, formal and informal. We imagined a creative informal walk, in which each tree hosts a temporary pavillon where artists can perform directly in contact with the nature (like the Fab Tree Hab of J. Mitchell) A formal incubator of talents will host huge plays, seen in real-time all over the world thanks to wi-fi connection, and in which performers could be ubiquitous. It will have interactive facades which will display the plays going on inside the building. Out of this incubator there will be moving pavillons which, sailing the Hudson RIver, will metaphorically export all kind of art expressions throughout the world (like the “world’s theater” of Aldo Rossi, built for the Biennal of Venice in 1979).

mobility and specializing in the development of the program: attraction, production and exportation of knowledge. The lowest floors will work as a vertical link between the city and the transportation infrastructure (reachable only through the buildings), while the uppest floors will be dedicated to the program. In this way the mobility will allow the capture and the involvement of the commuters in the knowledge process. The street will be bio-compatible (metabolic): the soil now occupied by the infrastructure will become a huge urban park, with some areas dedicated to cultivation, phytodepuration and to wooded land. It will be autonomous energetically. Still, the street will be high tech: the lanterns will have interactive screens on the external walls, so it will be possible to consult public transportation timetables and to watch in real time what’s going on inside the buildings (conferences, meeting, workshops, etc).

should be substituted with the exchange of ideas, this will accelerate the evolution of human species. It is requested to Istanbul to equip itself with the infrastructures necessary to be, by 2050, a highly creative city: a loop will surround the urbanized part, controlling its expansion and linking the different creative clusters through an efficient transportation network. This will be composed of a high-speed railway system. It will be possible to reach faraway places in a relatively short time, increasing the intensity of exchanges in the time unit. The ring will be linked crosswise with four minor axes, along which a BRT (BUS RAPID TRANSIT) line will run . Along these fibers will develop new creative nodes, facilitated by the direct access to the mobility. The most important among these is the axis linking the cultural pole (Beyoglu) with the innovative pole (Maslak). Twelve “buildings-lanterns” will be distributed along this 3,5-km-long-axis, enabling the access to the elevated

The future of cities is becoming more and more influenced by the creativity, that is the capacity to produce ideas, knowledge and innovation. Creativity is becoming the new paradigm of sustainability because it permits a socio-economic reconversion, that is a shift from an economy based on the waste of resources to an economy that ehnances human intelligence. Richard Florida and Charles Landry are the ones who firstly introduced the concepts of Creative Class and Creative City. Istanbul has always been a big incubator of human capital, in 2010 it had more than 13 milion people, hosting different ethnies and minorities, but today they don’t have many opportunities of interaction. “Exchange” is the key-word to start a creative process that will involve the entire city. In the past, when the city was part of the Silk Road, it was characterized by the commerce, which still sustains a large part of the economy. Today the exchange should be read with a sustainable point of view: the exchange of material resources
