ABOUT I was born in Catania in 1991. I'm graduated in architecture at the Syracuse Architecture SDS in March 2017 with a vote of 110/110, discussing a thesis titled: "A journey around the sense of living in Alvaro Siza." I made an exchange at Facutaltea de Arhitectura din Timisoara, Romania and a professional internship at Escuela de Estudios Arabes in Granada, Spain, through the Erasmus program. I've worked as an architect and graphic designer within the ArchDesign Studio of Florianopolis, Brazil from April to June 2017. I believe that architecture is a discipline that can be fully learned only through personal experience, thinking that travel is a special tool to learn the deeper themes of architecture. I associate first-person experience with love for photography and draw from the real. A restless young architect with a great desire to learn and improve.

CupolAFRICA Concept Democratic Republic of the Congo, average temperature 27°, warm-humid climate. It has a largely flat territory with vast plains and marshes, thanks to the basin of the Congo River that holds high humidity, the mountainous areas are not very high and covered with lush vegetation. The study of the territory and climatic conditions has allowed to generate an intelligent project built with locally available materials. The dome, the atypical form of Congolese architecture, derives from the teachings of Hassan Faty and Fabrizio Carola that in Egypt and Mali, respectively, generated low-cost bioclimatic models. The dome takes the form of gentle hills and Is coated with a raw earth plaster that in addition to isolate, allows the vegetation to grow lush in the outer surface, creating a camouflage process with the surrounding environment. Project The house has a circular plan inscribed on a 2.26m square-square grid, deriving from the Le Corbusier Modulor. First, the ways and uses of daily living of local populations have been studied deducing that everyday life during the hours of light takes place practically inside the house due to the high temperatures. Two typical parts of a common home are created to differentiate environments and functions: The sleeping area, raised to the east and the living area to the west, the bathroom is in the north facing direction. The plan's system develops around a patio, the real center of the house, where it’s possible relax at the sunset or grow a vegetable garden, useful to family's needs. In the two west-facing bedrooms there are openings to the outside with wooden closing systems fitted with an additional external shading system in bamboo canes and vertical holes in the masonry towards the inner patio, which allow natural ventilation. The space of the living area is equipped with a wide opening to the outside, also equipped with a shielding bamboo and two vertical holes in the masonry, specular with respect to those of the rooms. A further opening allows the passage to the inner patio. The dome is cut to the top allowing sunlight to enter inside the patio, at the same time the rainwater flows into a collecting tank inside the bathroom, through a eaves system arranged in the connecting ring. Materials The dome is constructed of a double layer of bricks covered with a raw ground plaster. This system protects from high daytime temperatures, returning heat overnight. The dome rests on a concrete screed of 15 cm, two layers of gravel with thick grain growing down and a brick stand. A ventilation system allows the cooler winds to channel to the base in which the temperatures remain relatively low cooling the house both day and night.

Living Ruins Site The historical center of Randazzo stands on lava cliffs that descend on the northern side, before emerging in the course of the river Alcantara. Nestled in the north from Nebrodi and in the south from the volcano Etna, Randazzo lends itself as one of the most interesting urban centers in eastern Sicily from a landscape point of view. The limit to the "new city" is marked by a medieval factory, namely, the former church of St. George. Masterplan The idea of masterplan mainly starts from the relationship with history and with the existing, received up to now, despite the many changes undergone by both man and nature. The theme is the path intended in the project as a factor to revive and to live the ruins. Concept The concept starts again from the story and intrinsic relationship that has a medieval wall with historical facts. A wall used to defend, to protect those living in the city. Those who came from outside had two choices, enter from the front door in case of visitors well received or try the siege of the walls, in the case of enemies.The project aims to revive the walls, the past, in a contemporary way, so what better hypothesis than the more adrenaline than that of a tower of siege? The Helepolis or siege tower was a military war machine used in antiquity (in the case of the Roman army it is mentioned for the first time in the siege of Lilibeo together with rams and still vines), consisting of a large square wooden tower (high 13/26 meters), which was brought by the assailants to the walls of the besieged city. The climb from the lower and outer part of the city will then be allowed by a tower which besides acting as a connection and service will have an emotional and landscape function due to the landscape of the Nebrodi that changes remarkably from the white snowy winter to the summer straw yellow passing through the wonderful autumn colors and fresh spring smells. Project The first project concerns the medieval walls, which surrounds the former monastery, which wishes to resume the rampart walk as far as the track is still perceptible. The second part of the project concerns the systems of descent and ascent of lava stone. A tower element will allow the descent from the rampart walk to a new walkway that would be entered on an existing road, which allows to climb up to Piazza San Giorgio. The tower element is not unusual in the system, in fact, in the past there was already a building that stood as high as the walls close to the new structure. The project also involves the construction of a scenic route along the perimeter of the medieval wall that will allow the use, as well as landscaping, important architectures such as the Church of Santa Maria Assunta and Porta Pugliese. From this location will be possible go back down until the river re-using ancient trails as the ancient road connecting Randazzo to Francavilla di Sicilia, which we can still appreciate the ruins of the now collapsed bridge. 10

Delirious Pedara Concept The main objective of the project is to find a new "way of living", solving issues, but above all defining valorisation programs and strategies, identifying existing relationships between natural and anthropic system, between natural transformations and human occupation. Landscape analysis is able to give us, for the purposes of design, the cues for the legitimization of the choices we are called upon to take. This "almost rationality" of design, programming, functional, formal, structural design makes the design solution almost obvious. The landscape - understood as a polysemic concept - is a construction, a process that is constantly evolving, a representation of society, its projection. The scenery is a theater. It begins with recognition of the landscape - through the analysis of its morphology and the way it unequivocally influences its occupation by man, its history, the culture it is bound to. Site The south-east slope of Mount Etna is characterized by dotted volcanic cones, with slopes over 40%, structured and referential presence in the chaotic landscape of urban sprawl. There is almost a correspondence between each volcanic cone and small town (Pedara and Monte Troina and Tre Monti, Trecastagni and Monte Gorna, Viagrande and Monte Serra), emphasized by the presence of the campanile towers of each country. Today, this recognizability of the landscape of the Etna villages has been lost with the great transformation of urban diffusion. Project Recognizing the impossibility of "rearranging" or "normizing" this reality, the project assumes a strategic character, introduces complexity. Transforming Monte Troina into urban, recreational, recreational equipment is our vision of a new way of living Pedara and neighboring villages. A public place, a large urban park, where it is easy to alienate, where the two mouths of the crater are "flooded", to draw a lake. The unexpected presence of water recreates an unusual humid, cool, oasis with views of Mount Etna to the south-eastern stretch of Etna, the city of Catania. The introduction of water is able to catalyze activities and different uses of the equipment, thus capable of pushing and attracting the population of Pedara and neighboring villages. By identifying the areas allocated by the urban planning for public use, it provides for the inclusion of "public towers." These 50-meter-high towers will be equipped with automatic car parks, able to accommodate the visitors' cars of the new Monte Troina Park and to empty the squares of the center of cars. They will be new landmarks in the landscape, the new bell-tower. In recent years the demographic growth of the Etna villages has stopped and it is very likely that the trend will be reversed. Nature will regain the space that has been subtracted from it. 16

Timisoara Rocks! Site The idea of a park in Timisoara, is nothing innovative and new, since the city is presented as a model to which many contemporary urban reality should be inspired. The city of Timisoara can be considered a model from the point of view of the quantity and distribution of green spaces. The contents of these areas are many times repetitive and belonging to a school of architecture of the landscape of the past.Timisoara, the western Romanian city, both geographically and socio-economically speaking, is perhaps the most talkative mirror of contemporary unmatched across the country. The project area is bordered on three sides and interacts with nature. To the south with the canal of Bega, real strong point of the city and path, or rather linear park, capable of supporting multiple aspects of the city, from the romantic to the modernist the abovementioned users. To the east we find the Parcul Rozelor, who in addition to look like a beautiful garden, has an open-air auditorium that host numerous events involving people of different ages and uses. The Parcul Justitiei on the west completes the triptych around the project area. Concept In the streets of a city almost anonymous to the rest of Europe, people move quickly, either on foot or by bike, or standing on tables with four wheels, commonly called skateboard. The rollerblading, longboard, the BMX, the trial bike, foot-scooters on the streets of Timisoara almost reach the number of pedestrians. It is no coincidence that and it is time to leave the anonymity of the city almost an end in itself and rise to inspiring model. A contemporary model. A trivial example, but not too much, is about the most anonymous streets of the neighborhoods of New York of the '70s, where, in a seething mix of cultures, ideas, condensed by the social emancipation, years ago were born phenomena like hip hop, break dance and rap. marginal phenomena that now occupy our rooms, our iPod, our nights. Project In the project the morphology of the land has remained virtually unchanged, in fact means maintaining existing paths in the elevated part so as to facilitate the connections without affecting the areas available. The central block that allowed the crossing was "replaced" by a building partly buried. The building will host inside a gym and coverage entirely walkable, it will return the activities that have been withheld by the advance of the concrete, that is, two tennis courts. In the space between the terrace and the gym will be dug a path, up to touch the -4.5 m, in order to get access to the new building. The gym will be a reference point especially during the winter when, as well as allowing the continuation of activities in spite of the weather conditions. The park will host a skatepark which will contain two areas for the vert, a street plaza and a beginning area, in order to attract different types of urban rider. By skateboarding lovers to longboard through rollerblading. Any adrenaline lover will embark on this gray park and feel free to try strong emotions. 22

Piatonal paths
The site has a walkway that runs along the perimeter (about 80%) of the project area. The pedestrian path is raised to 2 m respect to the areas currently used as sport courts. The main idea is to keep existing routes trying to create a continuous flow through carefully targeted interventions.
Vegetation
The vegetation system is characterized primarily by trees, arranged without careful study. The only part that seems well designed is that around the house Artelor. The tree species are the plum, fir and basswood. In the new intervention it has decided to rethink the crops present and propose new arboreal species.
Casa Artelor
The building of the House Artelor, many years ago a reference point for Timisoara artists, is now used only in part by an association for artists. The idea is to keep demolishing the wall in front of the building, converting the unused spaces in a Tea House, generating a real main entrance to the new park, something totally absent today.
Preliminary study 24

Playgrounds
Currently the two playing areas are placed inside two green "craters", two meters lower than the street level. On the left side there are three tennis courts, while a part of the right side is bound to sand sports. The annual income of users is primarily focused on the area designed for the tennis while for more than obvious reasons, sports activities on the sand remain predominantly summer or spring. The idea is to rethink the area starting from the intended use, the sport, then converting it to an area that can be used 365 days a year, trying to attract the common people rather than "professionals".
Connections
The park is placed in the middle between two green areas, the Parcul JustiĹŁiei on the left and the Parcul Rozelor on the right. Both parts are inaccessible directly from the project area, which however can only be accessed from the Strada Academician Alexandru Borza. To the south of the area a green area full of tall trees allow a connection to the channel of the Bega, currently absent. The proposed project also aims to generate a total external and internal connection with the surrounding area.

MoAbS Name The name MoAbS derive from the italians words “Modulo Abitativo Sperimentale”, Sperimental Living Module. MoAbS is a temporary, self-constructing prototype, built by assembling dry industrial elements and components. Module The system, obtained by the aggregation of two modules - the base module 4x2m and the 2x2m service module - is conceived as a flexible, reversible, low cost, and energy-efficient mounting kit. This prototype expresses a generative principle that can not be confined to its technical-constructive dimension, but extends the cognitive aspects, the connections between conceptual techniques and executive techniques (G. Nardi). Products, constructive logic and innovative technologies on the one hand, sustainability, variability, speed, adherence to context, on the other. Project The students of the Project Laboratory II of the Faculty of Architecture and the students of the School of Edifice cooperated in the realization of this prototype, the outcome of a research project aimed at the marketing of a 'catalog' housing system, flexible, low cost and customizable by the end user. MoAbs - energy class A - is characterized by the use of passive protection systems (Knauf wrap system, brick roof ventilation, green roof) and solar panels for the production of energy from renewable sources integrated in the ventilated terracotta facade.

Enjoying the lava Site The part of the eastern Sicilian coast at the slopes of Mount Etna is characterized by the presence of lava cliffs and surfaces, due to the catastrophic eruptions that in the course of history have overwhelmed the city of Catania and its neighboring municipalities. Man has always learned to live with the volcano and the landscape that comes from it building houses, castles, hospitals, roads and trampolines above the lava stone. The Catania coast therefore represents a real laboratory of constructions and experiments on the lava. The family context therefore suggested an equally typical and common solution: a timber platform. Concept The concept once again finds its roots in tradition, in history and in the way of approaching the landscape. The origins of the platforms on the sea date back to the Sicilian past and as so many pixels make up, furnish and characterize the Catania lava shoreline. Project The area has concrete terraces and some sloping stairs that facilitate the descent to the sea. The will of the buyers was to redesign the area, giving a sense of unity and homogeneity to the project using the levels dictated by the natural system and those provided by the previous human intervention. In accordance with the regulations and fees adopted in neighboring areas, it was chosen to adopt a wooden solution using the platform system to resolve elevation changes. n the upper terrace there are accesses and a green area. The lower part provides a large solarium, a local shelter for swimmers and a semi-covered area for relax and refreshment. A ramp allows small boats to be introduced into the sea such as canoes, kayaks and surfboards. Building It is made entirely of wood and its prerogative is the possibility to be dismounted in winter. To achieve this micro-architecture in addition to the work on Revit autodesk, it was important to get more than 7 licenses for several local authorities which issued the positive opinion. Then after more than a year of waiting, in May 2016 the project became reality. Team Work Project Stancanelli e Russo Associati Collaboration Cosimo Aleo Ernesto Stancanelli

Loft Boiteux Site The city of Florianopolis is located in southern Brazil and is one of the cultural and commercial centers in the country. Huge work demand has generated considerable population growth and with it, demand for real estate has also increased. Despite the high altitude of the buildings, cities prefer smaller and smaller homes that are able to contain the essential needs of the inhabitants. Loft Boiteux is born in this context where work and private life coexist, ending up being part of the other. The loft is in fact placed in a building with predominantly working destinations. The apartment is located in a building level where there are offices, an architecture studio and other private homes. Concept The idea of the project arises from the will and the artistic nature of the client who seeks refuge from everyday life, appreciating everything that represents urban chaos. Urban that is represented in the choice of furniture, which is heterogeneous both from the point of view of matter and stylistic. What the customer wants is a real urban art gallery. Project In the resident's private art gallery, the graffiti leaves the walls of the streets and assumes the walls of the apartment. The joinery follows straight and simple lines. The highlight here is the unusual re-reading of steel rebar used in civil construction. Apparent and painted in black, they are part of the aesthetic composition of furniture. Once again the urban reference contributes to the materiality of the project. The composition of the furniture blends materials and styles seeking the harmony between them. The banqueta Lola, from Moad Home, the chairs Liv, of Luan del Savio and the puff Dread of Larissa Diegolli, from Studio Ambientes, refer to the material multiplicity of urban centers. Worn metal, wood, fabric, synthetic materials form the aesthetic loft weave. Several characters from the same collage. Natural wood in the form of art in the poltrona Dona of Bruno Faucz and in the handmade pieces ofCaras do Sítio, like the luminária Cachimbo, were used to bring even more coziness and warmth to the environment.
