The first approach that we have to do with the atelier was to study a specific room and an object, trying to observe how the two of them were realting or no, how they were fitting togethere or resulting In my case I was given the house of the belgium architect Charles Vandenhove, and in specific the extension that he made in the late 1960: a light structure in glass and steel that sits on top of the brick house. This new openspace with 3 different levels was a living room area for the house, where were located different sitting areas. All the designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s furniture had one thing in common: the light steel structure. In this specific case i studied more the LC2 armchair by Le Corbusier. During the weekly reviews, by the drawings the two objects, the chair and the house, were coming togethere as one with their essences: they were both light, revolutionary but still classicaly beautiful and elegant.
LC2_VANDENHOVE DRAWINGS The result of this research to me were this two drawing, where the house and the armchair met, for their proportion, for their languages and they both became 1 element. This to me was a continous reference through out the atelier, because we had to develop a house starting from a furniture, but I tried more to develop the houses and the objects together as one unique element, where the link between what is given and what is fixable could be.

A house starting from a furniture: this was the incipit of the atelier De Vylder. From small scale to the big scale. In this very precise site, the Tower House in Oostende, the project developed around this very unique site. Infact the tower is the highest building in the city, almost 35 stories high, were all the rest of the landscape is made by low-rise buildings. So starting with the essence of this surralist element of the tower, that i also tried to represent in the painting we have to made of the site (p.p.), I wanted the house to be even a more provocatory and strange object. Perhaps the house is the real object that i studied in a very detailed matter, and it sits at the top of the tower as a billboard facing both the ocean and the city. It shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve be seen as a lantern that lights up the life of this vacation-only city, The light steel structure that creates the see-through facade of the billboard inhabits the house that is a secondary glasssteel structure. The various areas of the house flows

Starting always from the small scale, in the Forest House, located in the Foret du Soignes in Bruxelles, i decided to study a detalied system where the furniture could have been adatable in every room. Starting from the basic wood beams structure, the designe was to segment the profiles of each beams and then this hole will be closed with a piece of wood. Wherever there was necessity, a custom-made system worked as when this holes were free, the furniture could have been fixed to the house with the same piece of wood but from the other side. That leds to the design of a very small house ( 90 sqm) with all the necessities. Another studied detailed was the rotating- double doors that servers always up to three different spaces. The house so now appears as a sequence of small rooms into the forest, where the big roof links all of them together.

The theme about the project was to realaborate the Space of Use/Space of No Use, from Shihonara’s Architecture, where the “SONU” is an athmospheric area of the house that gives a sensibility to the project. We had to plan a small temporary guest-house for a writer in the beautiful park of Kaasteel Van Gaasbeek, in the countryside of Bruxelles. I chose to locate my house on the shore of the small artificial pound that there’s at the feet of the castle, as a remark of the new building in the park. The entrance level was at the middle-level between the two floors: the groundfloor on the water was the “Space of Use”, where the writer lives in contact with the beautiful sorroundings, it’s planned as a one big space where all the services are located in the walls. The second floor was the “Space of No Use”, a more introverted room, with only a sky opening, and one-shield roof that goes from 8m high to 0. There is only a small niche designed as a sitting area for the writer.

The theme about the project was always the Space of Use/Space of no Use, but this time in relationship with an housing. The site was 100mx15m, in an left-over space near a beautiful baroque church in Piazza della Kalsa, Palermo. The site is divided in two building by a pedestrian road that lead to the courts of the housings that are the hearts of the project. In fact i try to stage the entrance in the apartment in 4 different time: the first one is the public space, with the small street and the plaza; the second space is semi-public, and it’s composed by the three courtyards that are the “space of no use” of the project; then there is a semi-private space, that is the balcony in double-high that leeds to the apartment, it can be opened or closed and it’s the last step before entering the private house. Every apartment is different, as a resault of the double-high balcony that are the theme of the project and created variety in the plans.

The theme of the semester was to build a tourist accommodation in the beautiful location of Marsala salt works, in the west coast of Sicily. The site was composed by a shore part, a lagoon and a big island just a km from the coast, all covered in the saltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pools. In The flat envoirment of the salworks and the sea, I decide to cave one of the pool to create and undersurface pool that will have more privacy for the tourist, which has different floors level so the person can have different experience in the water, from swimming, to laying in a thin layer. Over the pool there is a beamwall structure that host the hotel, which is composed by 8 rooms

The theme of the atelier was about birth-life-death through architecture. We visited Mumbai, Varanasi and New Delhi in India, and after the trip we had to describe our perception of the life there and trying to bring the concept of birth-death that the Indian culture have as a circle in our western society. The site decided was the Breggia valley in Switzerland: a beautiful park next to Chiasso, really famous for his geological history. I concentred my proNect around the quarry that is the park the quarry served during the sixties for the production of concrete in Switzerland, and the caving changed the valley prespection dramatically, as the quarrys mountain was the entrance trough the park. I decided to ri-birthing the quarry as a route that will link the valley to the upper-hill town of Castel San Pietro, building stone-towers as connection through the various steps of the quarry and some caves as laic chapels to sit and rest over the course.
That was inspired to be by the really famous â&#x20AC;&#x153; Sacred Mountain â&#x20AC;? that are in the close area of Lombardy and Switzerland, as they are a pilmigrage from christians through hills that have 14 chapels. I wanted my intervantion to be a spiritual pilgrimage too through the steps of the mountain to have the opportunity to get in contact with the nature of this beautiful Valley.

In this semester the project is developed starting from the material gesture, and in the specific casting and cutting. The site area is in the new reclaimed land in Bahrain , and the is no function. the building have to respond to its material. As the area of the middle east is covered in sand, i decided to utilize this material for my building. But how it is possible to cast the sand? A new process has been discovered by the architect G.K. Dossier, when sand is calcified with the use of a bacteria called Bacillus Pausterii and other nutrients as urea and calcium. This process emulates the natural one of the limestone creation, but it is now possible to cast in a mold, or either spray this solution. My building will so be related to the ground, the amount of sand used will be the amount of sand that it need to be excavated, so the volume between built and unbuilt will be related. As the structure this casted sand has the strenght of the
