NEW YORK . NEW NATURE|
MASTER THESIS
Location: West Side Yard, Manhattan, New York # '* +# 1 5 # Program: Theater city Master thesis at Polimi Team work: 2 people Being on the edge of Manhattan, at the limit of this island and the water, the site is an important node of infrastructure as well as landscape. These abundant opportunity is now being wasted by Unfinised urbansection giving the only function as a storage yard. A research is focused on the critical junction between the artificial and nature directions. The former is an urban section coming from Broadway to the Highline, while the later is Hudson River. The project’s idea is to have a penetrating condition between these too: the buildings are defined from the city’s morphology, and started to be transformed by the green space running through. New public space, new definition for Highline, new landmark and new skyline for New York are created.

Individual work old
Recognition: Exhibition and Nomination for National Award of Architectural Thesis It was a Methodical Church built in the 1880s when the French arrived in Hanoi. After times, the original building is overwhelmed by the chaotic of modern life. Despite of its important location in the center of Hanoi, either its historical and architectural values are falling into oblivion. This project is a solution to free the old church and make it connected with contemporary living. The extension must be independence but friendly, clearly different from the past but show its respect to the story of time.

The main connection is a glazed volume becoming the in-between element in terms of altitude, form, space, and material. The old church is now renovated into a small auditorium for chamber music. New building provides recording, music publishing operation. Both are accessible through the glass block, which is also place for exhibition. New construction works as an separated system to assure that no loads are born to threaten the existing one. New building’s height is also considered carefully to live in harmony with the surrounding. The facade interprets neighbourhoods’s building but also in a dynamic way: a new life, a new song is here.

STUDIO
Location: Berlin, Germany # '* +# 1 5 # Academic proposal in Politecnico di Milano Team work: 3 people Structure of built space Recognition: Exhibited in < > # 5@ Z! 5 Situated in the urban center of Berlin, along the Spree the river not only connects the project site with other monument in the East, but also provide the visitors many views to the building. It is clearly the intersection between 3 system of traffic, monument axis, and urban morphology that claim for a primary solid, compact form to be built. The cube is defined, then started to be transform so as to articulate with the neighbourhood axis. The auditorium is brought to the waterfront, while still keeping the existing street running below. The theater is elevated to create a public space, free movement & allow visual contact, continuity and a promenade along the river. AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, 3ds max, Vray

PARK[ING] BLUE |
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Location: Via Emilia Parmense, Piacenza, Italy # '* +# 1 5 # 4 day workshop in Politecnico di Milano Individual work Being abandoned in a large empty area on Via Emilia Parmense without any connection with the surroundings, this small restaurant fights against the surrounding void by its strong color and direction. The project aims to revive this sense of bravery, to make the site become so â&#x20AC;&#x153;catchyâ&#x20AC;? from the highway, so enjoyable for cars and people. It is a hybrid of park and parking, a landform art in blue tartan surface where people and their vehicles themselves become installations.

FRAMING PIACENZA |
DESIGN STUDIO
Location: Piacenza, Italy # & '* +# 1 5 # Academic proposal in Politecnico di Milano Team work: 2 people On the northern tip of Piacenza, Infrastructure this site is closely related with historical center of the city, while also opens to the rural landscape. The important connection between these two is now broken by a series of misused space, ranging from the abandoned military area to the car-selling storage. The main strategy is to enhance this abundant opportunity by turning this series of misused area into a system of gathering spaces, from the place that is in front of Palazzo Farnese, through the medieval wall, to the river. A continues public path will connect these public space, while being embraced by the historical elements of the city on one side, and, on the other side, the contemporary architecture of Expo 2015. With all respect to the historical part, the new architecture itself is making different frames for the citizens to enjoy different views to the city, while encouraging them to keep on moving to the river.

Location: Milano, Italy # & '* +# 1 5 # Academic proposal in Politecnico di Milano Team work: 4 people As the World Expo 2015 is coming in Milan, Italy, many projects are being developed, in which Expo Center is one of the biggest. Our proposal strongly focus on the relation ship of this buidling and 2015 Expoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s context and theme: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feeding the Planet, Energy for Lifeâ&#x20AC;?. This is a proposal for construction and technology design studio, which force us to solve every problems in a very practical but also innovative way. Relationship between temporary and permanent part is wellconsidered. The main architectural idea is to open a public space, which also host the temporary functions (the auditorium that faces directly to the main axis of the Expo), to invite people from the main entrain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;seduceâ&#x20AC;? them by the flow of the form. Details and new technological solutions are carefully chosen to reach a low demand of energy.
