Coppola

Born in Salerno, Anna is a licensed Architect, graduated at the University of Naples Federico II, with a master thesis in architectural restoration.

Strongly fashinated by the different cultures and passionate about photography, design and cinema, Anna had the chance to study at the University of Alicante thanks to the Eramus program: the international enviroment led her to develop interest on light and temporary construction, main focus of her studies.

Another significat experience was the thesis research at ENSA in Lyon, where she deepened her interest for the antique architecture and restoration.

After her graduation in 2021, she moved in Rome where she had the chance to work as an Architect and discover her passion for scene design and scenography.

The role as Assistant set designer in her last work experience, is the step forward in her career to finally combine her dynamic attitude with the passion for architecture, temporary constructions and enviroments.

The restoration of Fort de Loyasse

MASTER THESIS

The project is the result of a period of study in Lyon, thanks to the international agreement of the Department of Architecture of the University of Naples “Federico II” and ENSA of Lyon. It intendes contributes to the knowledge of the defensive

19th century, in which the case study of the Fort de Loyasse is inserted.

The artifact was part of a variegated military apparatus, which following the military decommissioning and the changed socio-economic needs of the metropolis, is now the only node of the system in a state of abandonment. The historical-cultural importance and the identity values of which thesems of conservation and enhancement that goes beyond the concept of ‘single’ artifact in favor of aships, material and immaterial, with the territory in which they are located.

The proposal elaborated below is part of research and experimentation, aimed at building a possible design scenario, able to conjugate the need of memory with the creation of a new identity.

Historical evolution and organization

Fort de Loyasse was built between 1836 and 1840 on the hill of Fourvière.

Its uniqueness certainly derive from the lack of a type plan at the time of conception of the entire system, probably due to the transitional phase that the military architecture of the 19th century went through. However, an important role is played by the way the Fortress adapts to the particular orography of the site, which refers to the Vauban’s principles. Following a careful historical-archival investigation, it is possible to recognize the main physical and spatial

The entire defensive system presents a vertical distribution of volumes between the two overlapping platforms. The lowest, at 270 m, access height, forms the ancient attack front to the west, while the gorge front, to the east, faces the city.

The bastion n.4 housed the warehouses of arms and the ateliers of the Armieri.

It tied to the curtain of the ‘‘front of the gorge’’ thanks to the volume that housed the housing of the troops, demolished following the works of the 60s.

It is linked, to the north - west to the shooting gallery that allows, thanks to the stairs, to climb the difference in altitude of about 20 m, reaching the highest platform. The access to this great stone bow, remains a half walled hole on the south hidden by the vegetation today.

The restoration project of a building of historical and artistic interest aimes to the conservation of the property. Its functional adaptation, therefore, represents an important strategic step that ensures the management and maintenance of the building, allowing its inclusion within the contemporary functions of the territory in which it is located. system of data emerging from territorial surveys. Without forgetting that for a long time the Fortress has been a place of welcome as well as memory, it is intended to highlight the recognition of two poles, one tourist - receptive and the other cultural. These two subsystems dialogue through the series of walkways and ascents that characterize the park and the point of union becomes the new access from the east curtain.

MONTE DI PROCIDA, NAPOLI 40°47’22.0”N 14°03’32.9”E

The project of a new civic center for Monte di Procida is part of a landscape of great importance: the Belvedere del pratone opens on the Gulf of Naples with a view to the Campania Islands. The tabula rasa, the elementary forms, the promenade and the maintenance of the driveway are highlights of the project as well as part of a new architectural system that intends, despite its intervention, to preserve the naturalistic vocation of the area.

The project takes into account the geological complexity of Campi Flegrei, characterized by a series of hypogean paths that connect the sea to the ridge.

The recognition of 3 layers, the hypogeous, maritime and coastal one becomes the starting point, if not physically, the project intends to strengthen the connection with the sea thanks to the views and the practicability. Again, the characterizing elements of the site, such as the contour lines, are the geometric element that is synthesized in the traces of the three buildings that, through ascents, can be covered in full continuity with the walk.

Located on Monte Castello, between the ruins of the medieval castle and the town, in an area of high landscape value, the Chapel San Simone, then Romitorio, represents a historical and artistic heritage now abandoned.

The project starting from two cornerstones, history and landscape, was born from the desire to highlight its current state through a contemporary strategy of commercial and cultural revitalization.

The fundamental characteristics of this intervention must ensure the recognizability, reversibility, compatibility and the criterion of minimum intervention, in total respect of the material and its stratigraphic authenticity, so that future generations entire historical and material development.

Restoration project

Following the survey phases, the main causes of the phenomena of disruption and degradation found on the factory were analyzed, taking into account the geological, geomorphological and environmental conditions in order to propose an appropriate investigation project and intervention techniques.

The new uses will be compatible with the conservation of the hermitage, with reference to the territorial elements with which it relates: nature and landscape. The new installation should not represent an element of visual disturbance, therefore it is necessary to think of resistant, light and reversible materials, such as glass and corten steel.

The project aims to extend the Ancon building through prefabricated modules assembled in-situ on the roof plans.

Located in Buenos Aires, the pre-existing building is characterized by a unique glass and bamboo facade that makes it an exhibition volume allowing a urban landscape.

The central theme is light prefabrication, based on modular frames; building three-dimensional cells through the use of aggregative composition systems as generators of architectural forms.

Project

The interesting relationship between interior and exterior also characterizes the new housing modules designed according to four different types, each of which takes into account the minimum dimensions allowed by current legislation to promote maximum comfort.

The case study chosen for the development of thelations between city-art and tourism, in which architecture plays a fundamental role, in particular in the complex socioeconomic dynamics of the city of Venice.

The project proposed for the redevelopment of area 01, adjacent to the Santa Lucia Station, involves an analysis and reinterpretation of the morphological and compositional characteristics of the urban fabric that come together in the project for a museum in the city.

An exhibition space that resumes the rhythmic scanning of the bays of the pre-existing structures that become container volumes.

The area is divided into 3 sections:

Section A. History of the city and the lagoon

Section B. Urban Center

Section C. Exhibitions, events, excursions, underway cultural activities
