The Campania coast, caracterized by healthy climate and beautiful landscape, since Roman times, it’s a perfect place to host Otium Villae, placed in strategic sites. The Roman knight Vedius Publius Pollio’s Villa, built in the I century BC on the cape of Posillipo,it’s an important example. The extended villa - from Bay Trentaremi to Islands of Gaiola - the panoramic views of the area, the proximity to financial centers and thermal baths of Naples, Pozzuoli and Baia, persuaded the princeps Augustus to turn the villa into an Imperial residence. The fall of the Roman Empire, the partial collapse of Grotta di Seiano, that’s the access of the Villa, and the Gaiola ‘s malediction, have gradually consigning the rich domus to oblivion. Only in the XIX century it was rediscovered. Because of the bradyseism phenomenon and the realization of a tuff quarry, now the site is divided in two entities: The Archaeological Park of Pausilypon and the one of Gaiola. The main target of the thesis, it’s the valorisation of the archaeological site through the design of new services, that could be promoters of economy and maintenance of the Archaeological Park. Project wants to create a large route that can join the main polarity of the ancient villa and physically reconnect the two parks. In addition, the will to redefine the identity of the parties that characterized the imperial villa, and the constant dialogue with the pre-existence and panorama, leds us to an architectural language research,related to the reinterpretation of Mediterranean and archaic archetypes, without renouncing to contemporary language.

The aim of the course is to project a set-up for the 450th Anniversary of Michelangelo’s death. The exhibition is placed in the historical spaces of Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza and it also concerns corporate design and finger food design. Moreover, the theme of the exhibition is the celebration of the Great Beauty, just as Michelangelo give us through his works. According to us, the Great Beauty is not only symbolized by his complete masterpieces but also it resides in his ideas and in his sketches. So the concept of our set-up is the realization - through the tecnique of overlapping layers, like Mario Botta does for the rapresentation of the San Carlino alle Quattro Fontane’s scale model (Lugano) - of volums that come from the extrusion of the plans - unique element passed down to us - of three never built projects: St. Peter, St. Giovanni dei Fiorentini and a very intricate stair, designed by Andrea Palladio. The choice to introduce Palladio’s project in this composition is like a praise for the architect of the Basilica. By doing so, we recreate never existed spaces that ‘synthesize’ the Great Beauty. Moreover through the tecnique of overlapping layers, made of transparent plexiglass, we create a connection between the exhibition and the beautiful inner space of the Basilica. The disposition of the statues is born from the study of dimensional relationships between architectural spaces and the works that have to be on show. So copies of statues designed by Michelangelo mark the main axis of walking, while copies of Canova and Bernini’s works are placed in a centrifugal and centripetal way according to the center of the rooms that contain them. Finally, the exhibition ends with the reinterpretation of Palladio’s project, that become the symbol of the exhibition.

The project’s aim is the creation of a tender of maximum 9 meters lenght of which we have to propose two versions: open and cab, used for short trips. The project has been developed in different scales 1:20, 1:10, and 1:1; final maquettes have been realized at scale 1:10. First of all, project required a depht analysis of naval construction techniques and of inner space design, for that reason we studied sveral examples of Italian historical boats such as vessel designed by Renato Sonny Levi, by Paolo Caliari and by Riva Yacht. Moreover we visited Azimut-Benetti’s boatyard. The result of this phase of study was the modeling of the hull, that was inspired by different prototypes of Riva Yacht and the interesting model of runabout. Infact, our hull is characterized by elegant and refined lines without renouncing to an innovative design. The concept is based on the idea of living by the sea: ‘Inside’, ‘Outside’ and ‘Between’. The ‘Inside’ way of life is synthesized by the cab version, while the open one explains the way of life in the open air, surrounding by the sea and finally we introduced a new version that is a model ‘between’ the cab and the open version, because it’s intended for the transport of goods and people, and can also be used for very short trips. These yachts are chracterized by wooden structure, whose coating is made with the technique of cold molding - diagonal overlap of several layers of planking. The cab version have the wheelhouse backward to guarantee a confotable inner space characterized by dinette, bathroom, living room and bedroom. Moreover on prow is located a large sundeck. On the contrary, the open version is characterized by a central service block (small bathroom and kitchen) that separates the wheelhouse from sundeck. Finally, the course required a careful design of the furnishings; in particular, we have reread a type of anchor and drawn it to a scale of 1:1 with the realization of a model to true.

The aim of the project is the re-qualification of Robin Hood Gardens, a social residential housing designed in the sixties by Alison & Peter Smithson, and it represents the most popular architecture of British Brutalism. By now the buildings need maintenance and are degraded, overpopulated (900 inhabitants for 700 places to sleep) and isolated by the city. So we have to create more comfortable public spaces, to enlarge and re-qualificate the exhisting apartments and finally we have to project new houses to host 40 families. The main ideas of our project come from our first impression of RHG. When we first saw it from the street, we had the sensation that the extremity of two building seem to be towers, infact just coming closer we started to perceive their length.So we decided to stress this impression transforming the head of the buildings in two real towers, creating a new strong landmark able to interact with the developing landscapes of Canary Wharf. In this way we reconnect the complex with the city. The two tower have different height and house both residential and common functions. Another thing that we saw looking at the RHG is the rhythm of the facades characterized by mullions. For that reason we maintain them in the new volumes of towers, but using a different constructive system. About the RHG, we decided to maintain the existing decks and to improve their social function by adding new public spaces connected with decks. Moreover, by doing so, we created a new visual connection between the city and the garden. and we simplify the ‘heavy’ facades. We also redesigned the existing dwellings in order to improve their quality and to create new typologies like small two-room and flat for couple and big flat for 6/8 people. The project has been developed at different scales: 1:500, 1:200, 1:100, 1:50 ,1:20; with maquettes 1:500, 1:100,1:50.

The project’s purpose is the redesign of the garden surrounding Monaldi Hospital, to create a comfortable space in which alzheimer patients could spend their time and it could incite them to remember. First of all we have to know illness’ symptoms and its consequences. So we had lots of discussion with doctors, especially about the features that this healing garden must have to feel patients comfortable. For that reason, I’ve designed places in wich they could enjoy themselves such as pet therapy, garden therapy, spaces for a quiet break and for physical therapy, a small theater for performances and a stretch of water to relax. Moreover I’ve given particular care to the choice of essences. Infact, I’ve selected different flora species on the strength of their colors and odours, because I think that these elements could help them to remind their past experiences through their sensations. Then I’ve added an entertainment space for children that come to visit their relatives in hospital care. Finally in this project I chose materials such as wood, corten steel and copper both because their warm colors could have positive effects on mood of patients, and because these materials have textures that blend in the natural landscape.

Δα House is a typical Minoan house, in fact it belongs to the archaeological site of Mallia and it has all the characteristics of the Minoan constructive culture: the deep atrium, the megaron, the courtyards to light up internal spaces. The project’s target is not the reconstruction of archaeological structure, but an exercise of architectural composition where the articulate plan become the basis to design a contemporary house for an archaeologist’s family. Invariable matrices of the project are the big walls and the courtyards. The concept, after a deep analysis of this architectural typology, wants to remark the archetype of themenos and it proposes the centripetal design of inner walls that focus the main interior speces around courtyards. These architectural elements guarantee the entry of light, so there is an accurate study of the interior layout: spaces are light up only by courtyard and small breaks. For that reason, perimetral walls are predominantly closed and the house look like a strong themenos surrounded by ruins and it identifies the archetype of mediterranean introverted architecture. Moreover, a project’s request is the extension of the house, adding on the top another layer that has to be about a half of the surface of the main plan. The construction technique used for the second level is the reinforced concrete because I want to stress the idea of a massive architecture like it was in the past.

The competition required the design of a new museum with a library, conference space and related services within the archaeological area of the Domus Imperiale Villa Adriana. The goal of the project is to recreate the sequence of architectures, the succession of full and empty spaces, that are the basis of the composition of the entire Hadrian’s Villa. The draft of the new flooring allows to re-read the configuration space of the courts, distinguishing the internal spaces from one of the galleries of the buildings in ruins. The volumetric addiction is concentrated in the central part of the complex. Here the insertion of small buildings recreate the original boundaries between the courts The new fits on the site in order to suggest the spaciousness of the old buildings, never overpowering or hiding the ruins. The museum, focused in the central part of the domus, is located both inside and outside, and it is made by two new galleries. The auditorium is located at a higher level; from its coverage it has a privileged view of the entire domus and in particular of the symmetry that runs down the middle of the rooms. An important phase of the project was the graphic design of the new museum. After studying the new logo of the archaeological site of Hadrian’s Villa, a website has been created . Beyond that were produced gadgets, flyers and totem signs for the park.

The workshop required both the design of a new expositive pavillion related to the area characterized by traces of the ancient Kaiser Wilhelm I’s Monument, located near the Berlin Schloss, in the Museuminsel; and the set-up for an exhibition inside the Neues Museum titled ‘ Forming Civilisation in Egypt and China’ whose target is the comparison between these ancient cultures. The concept of the pavillion’s project is based on the will of reconnect this final part of Museuminsel with the other one distinguished by the presence of Museums, the Berliner Dome and Lustgarten; and on the reconfiguration of the existent waterfront, like David Chipperfield does in front of Neues Museum. So, after a deep analisys of the context we understood that waterfront is characterized by a series of columns: which ones of Bode Museum,Pergamonmuseum, Neues Museum, and the trees of Lustgarten, for that reason we decided to emphasize this particular sign, designind a long stoa. In this case function is secondary: the forms and the sign, that it create in the masterplan, are more important. Infact, the long stoa could be a place to relax, to walk through it and to reach the base of Kaiser Wilhelm I’s Monument, intended as the interesting conclusion of waterfront on Spree. So we converted the underground spaces of monument in an exhibition space. About the exhibition inside Neues we wanted to show the parallelism between these culture, so different but at the same time so similar. For that reason we designed a second skin that riconfigure the underground spaces of Neues and at times hold existing showcases according to works that have to be on show; at others, it create new showcases. Moreover we’ve chosen five themes of comparison that are marked by gates. Finally in the Greek Courtyard two culture join up, exhibiting their masterpieces.

The corporate design includes logo, fonts, colours, gadgets, flyers, tickets, totems and website. The proposal for Villa Adriana’s concept design in based on the perception that the Villa gave us by visiting it. In fact the peculiarity of Villa Adriana is the succession of spaces and different architectures, where arches, vaults and domes are common elements. Therefore our logo evokes these forms. Moreover the choice of different hue of brown reminds to the Villa’s colors. Finally, flyers reproduce these colours and they are characterized by a cut that shows the background with a significant view of the Villa. The aim was to underline the sense of discovery that you have when you visit this archaelogical site.

The corporate design made for the Exhibition ‘Michelangelo and the Great Beauty’ includes logo and title, fonts, gadgets, flyers, invitation, website and finger food design for the inauguration day. The proposal for the exhibition’s corporate design is based on an interesting Palladio’s sketch: the intricate stair displayed in his main work ‘I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura’. The beautiful section of this architectural element become the logo of the show that we entitole ‘Synthesis’, because throgh this exhibition we want to synthetize, inside the space of Basilica, the Great Beauty. The choice of warm colors such as red and gold underline the Great Beauty’s splendour and treasure. Moreover, the finger food design is inspired by a sketch of a shopping list written by Michelangelo for his servants . According to the exhibition’s concept, which It aims at the realization of works, designed by the genius of Renaissance but unfortunately never realized, the finger food design wants to emphasize this theme, proposing the “never cooked lunch” with which Michelangelo would wanted to delight himself. The packaging, instead, is related to the expedient used for the exhibition, infact it’s characterized by horizontal sections and represents the logo.

The course required a careful design of the tender’s furnishings ; in particular, we had to design the anchor and the block-system. So we studied different anchor typologies and we preferred Bruce anchor for his fluid form and his similarity to a manta ray. The concept is based on the rereading of his line, emphasizing his flexible and dynamics character, moreover,we wanted to remind even more to the shape of manta ray. Furthermore we’ve designed the blok-system so that the anchor could prominence and also be a decorative element for the tender. Finally we’ve drawn it to a scale of 1:1 with the realization of a model to true.

The project’s aim is the creation of a piece of furniture, that could be the missing product of a design company. My professor gave me a company to be examined: Cerruti-Baleri in Milan. So I studied its story and I analyzed their products. I noticed that many of their products are based on the redesign of the most interesting products of design history. In particular, the Italian company produces chairs, sofas and tables. For that reason, I decided to redesign the Red&Blu Chair, invented by Gerrit Rietveld but giving it some plus: I made it transportable and I turned it into a bookchair for relax time. The principle of composition is the same: in fact the bookchair is characterized by modular plans and layers. Moreover I decided to maintain the square lines of Rietveld’s design and to insert red and blu colors in the inner parts of chair to remind the Rietveld’s which one. Finally the bookchair is fabricated with four modular aluminum honeycomb panels because this material make it light and easy to assemble. The project has been developed in different scales 1:50, 1:20, and 1:10; final maquettes have been realized at scale 1:1.
