About Me, Cristina Manzoni
I obtained a MArch degree at the faculty of Architecture and society in Politecnico di Milano. The topic of my with thesis is a new understanding of the museum typology: The museum of living coexistence in Circular Quay, Sydney. The dissertation represents the unavoidable in-depth analysis of the previous project developed during a six months exchange program at the University of Technology in Sydney. This unique opportunity was one of the most stimulating and rewarding experience I have had to date and it allowed me to focus on different aspects and strategies to design in a multicultural environment. Previously I achieved a bachelor degree at the faculty of Architecture’s Science in Politecnico di Milano. During the three years program I spent a academic year at the Czech Technical university in Prague where I assimilated a different method to design. In 2010 I gained my first professional experience working at DNPR Associates. Beside the intense design activity, I enjoyed the opportunity to visit construction sites of complex buildings, as well as, interacted with clients. During my gap year I moved to London where I first worked as a sale assistant for Geox and then I worked as an intern architect for Rabih Hage enhancing my professional skills and cultural baggage as a designer thanks to a stimulating and challenging environment. Thanks to the daily teamwork commitments with colleagues, as well as, many years of voluntary work for Agesci association I have a clear understanding of team-working value as a fundamental part of the organisational development. I am able to create supportive and productive relationships with colleagues. Having considerably travelled, lived and worked in different countries, I have gained the ability to deal with people from a wide spectrum of background, adapting my behaviour and my words to the interlocutors.
Thanks to the work experiences and my university studies I gained the ability to work under pressure, often in challenging conditions and with short-term deadlines, respecting my duties and offering excellent products, which have always been appreciated and praised from the customers and colleagues. I am able to work flexibly, learning the tasks quickly and prioritising the most important duties. I have learnt how to deal with the stress and provide the results on time, finding alternative solutions to what originally planned, solving problems in an analytical way. My ultimate ambition is to learn new skills and improve my architecture knowledge working in a creative environment. I believe I could be a valuable addition to a design team, eager to learn, improve myself and giving ideas.

Graduation Project
The experience as an exchange student into the design studio Identity crisis at the University of Technology in Sydney drive me to “rethink” about the problematics into the area and “reopen” the project as my graduation thesis in Politecnico di Milano.

Museum of contemporary animals, Sydney ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO Academic year 2012-2013 University of Technology Sydney Professor William Feuerman
The starting point of the project was our proposal for the new Museum of Contemporary Art and Petting Zoo, designed in 2012. The aim of the previous project was the building to respond to its site in a way that the current museum does not. The value of the exhisting building has been argued more than once and accused to be autopoietic. Self-generating and selfmultiplying, autopoiesis is a cancerous condition manifesting itself architecturally in outbreaks of mindless, space-filling, selfreferential geometries. Situated in Circular Quay and surrounded by the most identifiable buildings in the country, such as the Opera House, the Harbour bridge, Sydney’s ferry terminal, this building seeks to celebrate rather than disregard its surrounding context. The building absorbs and emphasizes the fixed as well as changing image of Sydney. The site surrounding our precedent OMA’s Casa da Musica is distorted by the geometry of
the building, here our projects uses this process in reverse; the building is shaped by the context carved out along main visual axis’ to the Sydney’s iconic landmarks, projecting them back inside the building.Through snapshots of context separated from program, a sequence of events is constructed which builds to a finale on the roof terrace, where the two are unified allowing visitor to reflect on the identity of Sydney’s icons and by extention to the surrounding area, through the lenses of contradicting programmatic requirements.

Australian MUSEUM of living Coexistence, Sydney GRADUATION PROJECT Academic year 2013-2014 Professor Ingrid Paoletti Group project The aim of this project is to design a unique building both in its shape and program in order to create an uncommon, exclusive well adapted to the context(s) new building. The existing building on the area, the MCA does not respond to the site and it was defined as a superimposition of different shape boxes. It does not solve area’s problems related to the use during the night and to the lack of connection in between the historical quarter the Rocks and the promenade leading to the famous Opera House. On the bases of those premises our approach to the design started with a strong, deep and critical analysis of the context. From such analysis it emerges the importance of the area both for the citizen and for tourists visiting Australia, it is a proper gateway of people. Such considerations encourage us to develop a program related to sport, Australian wild nature and a museum. The heterogeneity of the program and the will of melt the function together drive us to investigate on the possibilities of hybrid architecture design. We reaches a form organized in main cores hosting
the peculiar Australian habitats around which the collection of the museum it is unrolled; on the promenade level the sport center is developed next to a leisure side made of a restaurant and a cafeteria. All those functions are addressed to different typology of users; tourist, visitors, workers, citizen and animals living in the habitats. The external public space is studied to take advantage of the site stunning location with spectacular views over Sydney Harbour to the Opera House, as well as creating a new attractor point in the quay. In conclusion, the resulting building is well adapted to the location. Indeed it is a unique construction within the country where our ambition was to provide an alternative way to live and experience common programs tied to Australian tradition.

A distinctive nature Nature is a precious topic for Australia. Althought, the identity of all Australians is shaped by a relationship with the natural environment, the most of theme are not consciouss of the wide set of habitats.
A museum of coexistence In order to fulfill the needs of the users the essence of a new museum is the coexistence of animals living their habitat, visitors the museum and customers of the sport center and recreational center.
Migrations and new nomads Circular Quay is a neuralgic crossover for both tourists, travellers, workers and inhabitans. The context with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, CBD and ferry terminals attracts disparate users .
National sport identity Sports and activities are part of everyday life for australian inhabitants, sporting successes have assisted the emerging nation of Australia to establish its character.

The THEATRE of Creativity, Borroni’s factory, Milan INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO Bachelor degree, Politecnico di Milano Academic year 2007-2008 Professor Letizia Caruzzo Group project The Borroni’s factory is a nineteenth-century industrial building hosting art exhibition nowadays. The main idea of the project is to recover and convert some of the factory premises in a theatre exhibition, not just with the intent of reusing a derelict building but with the aim of creating a centre of considerable cultural expansion. The commissioner asks us to create an eclectic space, versatile and suitable for different needs. It involves respecting the existing proportions and details whilst introducing new materials to create a fresh ‘new-old’ dialogue. The result is an Experimental theatre, where the role of the audience in the performance is fundamental and the whole project is based on this function. The theatre is a multipurpose space with a spacious terrace and small balconies suspended. The outdoor area can be connected to the indoor space thanks to a wide slit on the main wall.
The design take form from several references such as the Tate Modern art gallery, the project of Prometeo by Renzo Piano, Le Corbusier, boite à miracle and for the steel interior the Jean Nouvelles Fondazione Cartier. An accurate choice of materials has been made and the steel is predominant next to a large amount of oak wood. The detail of both the glass covering panels and the tie roads on the suspended balconies where studied carefully through physical models, sketches and modeling.

HOUSING Bicocca, Bicocca district, Milan ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 3 Bachelor degree, Politecnico di Milano Academic year 2007-2008 Professor Letizia Caruzzo Group project
The first stage of planning is based on a abstract grid of 60x60m which was later superimposed onto a map of Milan. The main idea developed by the project is the use of different shapes and the composition through the row house typology which overlooks a square. The public ground floor is extremely permeable in contrast to the main elevation characterized by small squared windows. This choice highlights the relation between public and private spaces, as well as the collective spaces. The composition systems are: the unit and the proportion which means the relation between every single part and the entire building. The unit used and repeated with some variation is of 5,40x5,40metres. The building up to the fifth floor has a square hole which gives the impression of two different buildings reconnected on the last two floors in a uniformed body. The interior space is divided into housing simplex, duplex and triplex with two different
heights on the terrace and accessible thanks to a long balcony leading on the west side. The east elevation is like a “skin” placed on the body of the building defined by a series of small modular windows. A cubic opening and the stairs space out the composition of the windows. The result is a multipurpose building design using the “modular system”.

A New ART GALLERY in Milan, Porta Volta ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO MSc Architecture, Politecnico di Milano Academic year 2011-2012 Professor Cino Zucchi Individual project
The strong historical analysis of the site drove the evolution of the design proposal. The urban organization of Porta Volta traces back the 15th century when the Mura Spagnole city walls defined the city’s growing boundaries. After the opening of the bastion in the late 19th century, Via Alessandro Volta laid the basis for the city’s extension outside the ancient walls, connecting as a new, prominent urban axis the historical center with Cimitero Monumentale. The idea of recreating a physical wall along Viale Francesco Crispi both with stones and keeping the existing trees come from the history of the site and the necessity of isolating the area from the track street. The analyses of the main access point, as well as, the axes of the site drive the decision where to place the main entrance of the building and the cut of it along Via Francesco Bonnet the main street connecting the city center to the site.
The museum is designed as a contemporary gallery with a main hall around which unroll side activities such as the cafeteria and the book shop. Both the temporary and the permanent exhibition are designed into two distinctive branches with double high versatile spaces. The materials choices are, once again, related to the tradition of the city with Ceppo di Grè slabs covering the entire building and plane timber for the interiors.

A SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS, Città Studi, Milan ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO II MSc architecture, Politecnico di Milano Academic year 2012-2013 Professor Remo Dorigati Individual project
“Politecnico sustainable campus” is a project with a view to transforming the city’s university district into a campus with regard to quality of life. The aim of the project is becoming sites of genuine exchange and interaction between the university and the surrounding community because, although the campus is architecturally integrated into the city, it is unrelated on the social aspect. An accurate analysis reveal Città Studi’s district composed by different blocks of buildings. The “Old” block which is introvert, composed by eight buildings in a classical language, the “modern” area with buildings like objects into a platform creating spatial relationships only between each other. The two systems are effectively disconnected among each other, as well as, poor of designed spaces encouraging the encounter between student and citizen. The project is a pure volume that plays the role of integrator in order to combine characters of existing buildings. It is aligned to
the main people flow creating a continuous public space through the pedestrianization of via Bonardi. The area aims to be a social condenser and metropolitan urban resource. The design of new public spaces and removal of the existing fences improve the permeability and accessibility to the site, as well as the contemporary portico on the ground floor making the building almost floating instead of being a new barrier. The new multifunctional structure recreates a façade to the Politecnico filling the voids on the existing one. An underground exhibition tunnel is the physical connector among the old and modern block enhancing the importance of social common spaces addressed to everyone. The spaces designed are flexible and with a variety of function such as, from the offices, small library and media library, reading room, model room, exhibition space and a student dormitory.
