1. Realize the gross surface of 180-200 sq meters
In this project the purpose was to create a house for a farmer in the region of Viterbo. The area is in a vast space characterized by a deep slope and it’s connected with the town only by a small road. Also small apartments for visitors that want to escape from the chaotic lifestyles were created and integrated in the design seperate elements in order to respect the privacy of each user. Then the decision was to orient these elements in order to create an articulated external space and also to underline visuals that connect the users to the sorrounding panorama. All is elevetad on a the project. Last but not least, the idea was to “hide� the element from the street in order to make it part of the land as if it was born from it. To do so a big staircase was created to grant access to each unit but also to make a place for sociability and exchange. The materials chosen were also taken from the land around it. Tufo stone and wood are the main materials in order to give this architecture a strong rural feeling.

Via Tuscolana, Rome Prof. Arch. Luca Montuori
This
project
was
real-
of Rome, outside the city centre and next to the Tuscolana railway station. The aim was to create a new housing unit for temporary workers that would be using the spaces for a short period of time. The plot that was given is sorrounded by the train tracks and an existing building. Also it was faced towards the main street. The idea was to realize a buidling that would respect the sorrounding elements and the street orientation but also the existing architecture. In doing so, the facade was bent it in order to create a public space that would relate the new element with the street and also the train station. This generated a new public square that connected the ground level of stores with the level of the main hall of the apartment building. Above the units of the apartments shifted from 18 sq mt to 36 sq mt and also duplex of 54 sq mt. Between these elements some coma square in the back of the plot, an open air public room.

San Basilio, Rome Prof. Arch. Luca Montuori
The sudden stop of the urban rise of Rome left areas of the city orbiting around the consolidated city. It’s in this components that San Basilio patiently waits to be part of Rome, a future made it more tangible by the arrival of a new subway a necessity in San Basilio, an World War between the GRA and the Aguzzano park. The project aims to be an opposition to an already thought out design. The intention is to sature the empty plots. In rethinking the drawing of San Basilio there was an important attention given to the public space. Four new public buildings were developed. These are distributed in the only area where the Aguzzano park becomes one with the city. The four buildings live in a close connection with a system of squares and gardensin order to become vital places and also a grant against a useless It’s in the attempt of understanding a different aspect of the city that the project is born, in the will of perceiving it not as bits or fragments but as a whole network.

The site of this project is a territory full of history and memories, site of the second World War and full of elements that characterized the whole history of the country of Italy. The aim of the project was to bring back the good of each important period that made the territory of Montefeltro so famous and noble in the minds of the italians. The basic idea was to use the square form that is taken from the veternan cemetry that is located in the area. With this simple form, a whole masterplan was created of single elements that connect to eachother and tell a story, a written one, thanks to the paths and stops that take you into another dimension. The main focus then was to create a memory park. This landscape intervention is connected to the rest through a path that recalls the trenches of the war and that lead to square elements: each of them represent an important period of time: from the square of Piero della Francesca you are brought to the one of the war, continuing to the one of today and the one of the future, a square full of hope and dreams.

Villaggio Olimpico, Rome Prof. Arch. Simone Ombuen
The Villaggio Olimpico was a discrict created for the athletes during the Olympics of the city of Rome in the sixities. Today the area is a residential area that is fragmented and used only as a “dormitory district”. The project wants to create a system that connects the two areas of the Villaggio, now split also by the realization of the highway of Corso Francia. This system is created by a park and a public square but also a number of light architectural elements (containers) that incubate inside a big variaty of public and also commercial services for the area, in order to implement the flow of users inside the district. These containers are distributed in a linear way to redifine a principal axe while the park is a succesion of different pavements that connect horizontally the two parts of the divided neighborhood. A saturation of the ground floor of the existingn buildings was also made inserting in them commercial and public services.

The project is realized along a canal area of the city of Eindhoven in the south of the Netherlands. The intervention is an old industry site that now needs a fast regenaration in order to support the fast growing of this city. The project was first tought out troughout a timelap strategy of three fases, founded on the fact that each fase would bring a major economy flow and also a bigger movement of people. Each fase was provided of an economy point of view with the possible investors and the time frame in which each architectural or urban elements would be realized. Also the metohods of invesmtents were explanied with the possible monetary outcome. All is then completed with two architectural designs (the Canopy and the Terrace) that are settled in the last time fase where money and people are already settled in the area. These architectural elements exploit also the presences of water, implementing it and using to create an articulated public space.
Description of the fases, of the investments and the economic outcome
Pozzallo, Ragusa Prof. Arch. Lorenzo Dall’Olio
This building was an old distillery that was abbandon in the 20th century and left to itself. The building today is without any roofs and many of the walls are disintegrated. This said, the aim was to create an element that would take in consideration these lackings. The idea then was to realize an overlay of polycarbonate in order to be visible and also to be different from the existing stone walls. This overlay brings with itself a complex structure of square elements that create new spaces inside the factory. This will be implemented with new public functions, such as a new library, an auditorium and so forth. The project also foresees the creation of new residence units that were created on the borther of the plot, now just closed by a stone wall. These units are realized part on one floor, part on two floors each with a garden for private use. The decision was to realize them in white concrete in order to recall the overlay and it’s principles. In the end, the sorrounding landscape was left to it’s natural state; the only intervention was to insert drywalls and sheds that recall the sicilian landscape.

The project is developed in the canal area of Eindhoven, a small but smart city located in the South of the Netherlands. The idea was born after analyzing the trends and development of this city and, after noticing that the are many startups and co-working places that are developing now and in the future, the object was to interpret this elements and insert them in an industrial area that is being slowly abandoned. The project established itself in the Campina factory (an important dairy producer) and exploits the idea of co-working and co-living in a critical way. In fact the project, which architecturally resembles the image of old industries, is a critical view on this global phenomena which is developing in these years. It’s wants to represent the obsession of these times and of the future ones, where the actors, the generation y, are represented by a precarious social class, subject to work and live in the same unconfined and scattered places; places which were the emblematic case of labour and manual work but that today, being slowly left behind, are redeveloping to embrace the new working era, the post capitalism era. It’s thanks to this analysis that the new Campina was born, a place of coexisting where people work and live in the same spaces but at different times and in a relative autonomy from one another.

This last section is dedicated to one of the activities i do in my spare time. Photography is a big part of the life of a young architect who is in constant search for suggestions and insipiration. These elements open the mind and stimulate the creativity of a dreamer whether they are THINGS, SIGNS, PLACES OR PEOPLE. So in this brief description the pictures presented describe what stimulate my imagination and my creativity and what sometimes, either in my everyday life, in my trips or simply in observing the sourroundings in my life, my eye could catch and represent. These pictures are divided by themes which are more fully documented trough out other photographs but the ones choosen are the most emeblematic ones. Also the selected ones are realized in the most important cities i’ve visisted and that developed part of my architectural and personal sensibility: Rome, London, New York and Paris .

Non Architecture Competitions www.nonarchitecture.eu Weekly newsletter NON ARCHITECTURE COMPETITIONS HOTELS call for materials #1
Introduction Hotel (n.) "public official residence; large private residence," from French hôtel "a mansion, palace, large house," from Old French ostel, hostel "a lodging". Modern sense of "an inn of the better sort" is first recorded 1765. The same word as hospital.

We can consider “Architecture” everything that has already been designed and/or built. That would define a realm of conventional solutions, often repeated in a self-referential system. We imagined a counterpart, a “Non architecture”. A world of unexplored designs and countless possibilities, that if found, could enlarge and change permanently the boundaries of Architecture. A universe of chances and opportunities never challenged by architects before. A limitless field of investigation that includes everything that is not Architecture, yet. Non Architecture competitions is an initiative pointed at finding and bringing forward these valuable alternative proposals. It practically consists in a series of nine competitions, organized in a time frame of three years. All competitions have their focus on finding innovative approaches to a specific architecture topic, always related to a functional issue. Emphasis is always pointed to non-traditional, and therefore non-architectural approaches to the architect’s work..
A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging paid on a short-term basis. Facilities provided may range from a basic bed and storage for clothing, to luxury features like en-suite bathrooms. Hotel operations vary in size, function, and cost. We all took advantage of this service one time or another, but today the classic view of staying in a foreign place is not always provided by a classic type of hotel. Other systems have developed that are undermining the typology of this service as we all know it. The question is what is this establishment developing to, what is it going to become in the future, will it return to the classical view, will the new systems develop even more or will the scenery change again and create new perspective and new places to live and feel? The questions we are trying to answer come from a long study of the history and the growth of the hotels but also from the changing scenery of society and the people of the world…the new typologies could also become more that a spatial quality, fragmented spaces, fleeting enclaves and an ever changing ones. What we are looking for is for a view of this subject projected in the near by and far by future, developed on the basis of feel, study and emotions. They need to be key ingredients in a vast study of this ever changing and socially important subject, generator, which combines and collects different which not also represents an important element for cultures and people. the economy of the world but also a melting pot Topics NON ARCHITECTURE COMPETITIONS wants to investigate the effective actions of what this typology is today and what is becoming. This through out a series of elements and instruments such as articles, infomercial, schemes and ideas based upon studies and personal outlook on the matter. These elements need to investigate the role, not only in one perspective, but on many levels such as places to sleep for students, workers, lovers, friends, places determined by sensorial elements or by their looks, ever changing spaces, temporary ones, all the broad range that this element is and represents. They need to answer question and arise critics from the history of the hotels, to what they have become today and they will be, in order to have a spectrum of ideas that will initiate debates and develop new concepts for this subject. We are looking for a series of elements that narrate the revolution that is happening through out reporting it, describing it, photographing it, and collecting it’s data, in order to meet the hospitable protagonist of this change. submission guidelines an
