I am a young and curious architect focused on the current dynamics of architecture and so ciety. I strongly believe in the transformative capabilities of architecture and urban landscape and I am passionate about research and experimentation and theoretical design. During my academic and professional career, I have deepened the great theme of architectural reuse with particular attention to interior architecture and its relationship with the external space, experi menting the approaches to face the complex challenges of the present.

The project takes place in a very important area for the city of Milan: the former Lambrate railway yard, a particular context in which elements of the consolidated city and the industrial periphery of the twentieth century are mixed. Within this context, the spatial value of the area was recognized, given by the principle of aggregation of the existing buildings in “clusters”, a value which, however, does not emerge also due to the poor quality of the open space and the buildings themselves. The project therefore acts in continuity with the existing cluster but at the same time creates spatial interference with the new buildings with the aim of obtaining a porous and organic urban design, which by fragmenting the open space gives it back the value it deserves. They respond to a series of spatial needs of the neighbourhood, first of all the housing one, to which the attention of the project has turned the most.

The project is set in a context of fundamental historical and social importance: the former Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw, a place that was the scene of clashes and violence during the Second World War that cannot be forgotten; yet today this area is undergoing a massive transformation, taking on the appearance of a financial district that is the son of capitalist logic, often indifferent to the events that have gone through it. The project therefore seeks to highlight this fracture between today’s city and the “disappeared” city, through a unitary design that slowly reveals the bowels of destroyed Warsaw, materializing in a memorial-exhibition itinerary that involves the outside and continues to the inside the complex of pre-existing buildings and the new building, inside which there is also the library of human rights.

The thesis project starts from an initial reflection on the great theme of food and industry that manages its production as one of the most important emergencies of our time. To tackle the problem, we analysed the case of the Union Stockyards in Chicago, the largest industrial district of meat processing in the world. The industrial district was the victim of a scandal due to the publication of a novel entitled “The Jungle” written by the journalist Upton Sinclair in 1906, in which he denounced the difficult conditions of industrial workers as well as the un healthy processing of the food produced. The novel, described the descending parable of the protagonist Jurgis Rudkus, a Lithuanian immigrant worker in the industries, victim of a corrupt and ruthless system that will leave him on the margins of society for the duration of the story. The novel is more current than ever, since the meat processing sector is still one of the most controversial today, especially in the United States. Hence the need to give a new voice to the novel and to the industrial area of the Stockyards, and to do so through a museum, designed inside the unique building remained witness of the events told. The museum retraces the stages of the protagonist and the novel and the industrial history of Chicago, with the aim of making the visitor more aware of the contemporary debate and the importance of food for the society of the future.

The project intervenes on a building in a state of neglect within the south-western suburb of the city of Milan, a context between the consolidated city and the rural area.T he idea of the inter vention was to hypothesize a reuse of the reinforced concrete skeleton of the building through a project that started from the inside and that used the material aspect as a central element of the transformation: the building becomes an exhibition - sensorial path that tells and illustrates the phases of disposal and recycling of this material through hematic rooms. The aim of the project is to remove the visitor from the common imagination of this material, which has always been linked to speculation and building abandonment, to reveal its more architectural aspects such as its sensoriality, but also its weakness: the building will in fact undergo a process of dis integration and dismantling of all its parts over time, like a large constantly evolving construc tion site. Eventually the action of the vegetation will take over the concrete building, returning it definitively to the community.

L’idea dell’intervento è stata quella di ipotizzare un riuso dello scheletro in cemento armato dell’edificio attraverso un progetto che partisse dall’interno e che utilizzasse l’aspetto materico come elemento centrale della trasformazione: l’edificio diventa un percorso espositvosensoriale che racconta e illustra le fasi di dismissione e riciclo di questo materiale attraverso erenti sale tematiche. L’obbiettivo del progetto è quello di allontanare il visitatore dall’immaginario comune di questo materiale, da sempre legato alla speculazione e all’abbandono edilizio, per rivelarne gli aspetti più architettonici come la sua sensorialità, ma anche la sua debolezza: la costruzione infatti subirà corso del tempo un processo di disgregazione e di smantellamento di tutte le sue parti, come un grande cantiere in continua evoluzione. Alla fine l’azione della vegetazione prenderà il sopravvento sul manufatto in cemento restituendolo definitivamente alla comunità.

Liquid city INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIO 2 WORKING GROUP:
LOCATION: Imaginary YEAR: 2019
The project starts from a reflection on the structure of the urban space of contempo rary cities, built around the theories of the modern movement that have adopted the urban grid as a regulatory element for the development of cities. However, a structure that no longer holds up to the profound mutations of the contemporary city, more complex and organic than the “rationalist” one of the twentieth century. Furthermore, technological innovations and the advent of the digital society have changed the way cities are lived: today we always live between the reality of physical space and the abstractness of digital space, two connected but still deeply separate worlds. But what would happen if the digital space became an integral and supportive part of the physical one? And so the “Liquid City” tries to ironically overcome the rigid subdivi sion of “public-private” space, of “open-closed” space but also of “real-virtual”. The city therefore becomes a liquid, heterogeneous, hybrid place, the space is fragmented and flexible and therefore capable of withstanding the sudden changes of our time. In the liquid city, the real urban engine is represented by the digital world of social me dia and digital platforms that become a physical space capable of establishing real relationships and no longer just virtual and superficial.

The project is a scenography of the famous Greek tragedy “ The Bacchantes” by Euri pides, set in the historical scenario of the Greek theatre of Syracuse. To face this pro ject, he started from the main theme of the tragedy: the dualism between divine and human, between spiritual and material, visible and invisible, opposing dimensions that have characterized human life since the dawn of time. In this scenography divine and human are held together by the “Mechanè”, the continuously moving theatrical machine already used in ancient Greek theatre, which by rotating and translating defines different spatial settings. The movement of the machine is therefore not only made visible, but governs the movements of the actors and the entire course of the scene, just as the divine decides and governs the actions of humans. The movement of the Mechanè also adapts to the flow of real time of the show, which ends at sunset with the “Deus ex Machina”, the most important moment of the rep resentation (as well as of the entire Greek theatre) in which the god reveals his identity by claiming the actions committed.
