Preparing a personal portfolio of my works is not only an instrument to find an employment. “ MY BEST ONES ” is a self-criticism, an assessment of what I have done up to now and what I’m expected to do in my future. It is not only useful to hopefully attract the attention of some major Architecture Companies but it represents to me the milestone of five years of academic studies, my first projects collection and the beginning of my professional life. In every project collected in this portfolio I poured the gram of my creativity, my ability and my desire to achieve always the best result. For some of these works I had to find solutions to problems never spot before, I had to acquire skills I had not before and I had to convince others about the value of my ideas usually different from theirs.
I could add to this collection many other projects improved externally to the University, in cooperation with some firms located in my city. But these four projects represent the best I have ever produced and represent me completely. In the next pages the topics I’m most interested in, will emerge: Environmental Sustainability, Housing Density and Urban Innovation, Visual Communication projecting.

I concluded my studies slightly lagging those that were my initial programs, responsible a particularly long thesis project that required a year of work. Now I am in a crucial moment for my future: I will have to make important personal and professional decisions and I will have to gain a place in the “Architecture World”.
As written in this introduction, I am convinced these are the real challenges of every project and the idea to work and cooperate with a professional team sharing the same aim, makes me feel enthusiastic.

On these bases I will start now my growth as an Architect with the hope to improve in a few years other important projects realized with Professionals I have much to learn from, but I hope to transmit something of my own to. 17th September 2017 Davide Minervini

In July 2017 I graduated with the highest marks in Architecture for Sustainable Design by Politecnico of Torino where I developed my passion for Environmental issues, Urban and Residential Innovation and Digital Arts. I want to become a Professional able to transform an idea in a successful project. I give much importance to details, communication and to the quality of the final work which, in my opinion, represents the validity of an idea even when it is not concretized.

ACCADEMIC PROJECT
The project responds to an activity change. A boutique had to be transformed in a children bookcase with a large selection of books, a space for events and presentations with a strong appeal on audience. To achieve these aims, we worked on the bestsellers ability to attract youngest consumers attention and to make them enjoy the reading. We created an entrance hall which enhanced the importance of new releases giving the opportunity to set multimedia installations for the day one. The guiding idea for the interior design consisted in exploiting the customer’s passion as member of a community and a mass event. In this way we could increase their loyalty to the library and not to the great distribution. On the lower floor we studied furniture that, closed on themselves, could be transformed in free seats for scholarship or small groups during presentations or debates.

BOSCOURBANO is one of my most personal projects. The starting concept is very simple: how to densify cities without sacrificing public spaces and even creating new ones? The large project area behind the Porta Nuova railway station in Turin allowed to experiment this topics improving possible solutions and impacting on the whole city.
At the start the public space is equally divided among users in the area.
A new building imposes the public space reduction and its division among a greater number of users.
The sacrificed space because of the new construction is given back to the users making the new building roof public. However the new public space is always divided among a number of users which is wider than before
Thanks to the new building lifting from the ground the public space is not occupied. Now the public space is larger than the initial one and it can be divided among a greater number of users.

The Masterplan concept was freeing the ground lifting the buildings from the soil and making their roofs public connecting them through a cycle-pedestrian path. The zero level is returned to nature by creating a woodland area in the city. Urban functions (trade, services, work, etc.) are shifted on the public level on the roofs level. The access to the apartments is possible both on the zero level and on the cycle-pedestrian altitude path that connects the whole Masterplan.

My team and I have worked hard in order to make the BOSCOURBANO project as realistic as possible.
In conjunction with constructive technologies, we have studied and verified the effectiveness of active and passive solar systems.
We have deeply studied some of the residential buildings in the Masterplan in order to demonstrate their feasibility and to calculate their energy requirements for the heating system.
The buildings’ South fronts have been designed as a bioclimatic membrane to enable thermal exchanges. Vertical solar panels have been added to satisfy the domestic hot water demand.

ACCADEMIC PROJECT
Turin suburbs suffers, as in many other Italian cities, a deep lack of identity. The addition and retrofit operations on a whole social housing block in Via Pietro Cossa is an opportunity to re-qualify the area improving its identity and enhancing the public spaces accessibility. My team and I decided to realize several prefabricated housing modules to be placed on roofs. On one hand the aim was making the housing units recognizable and distinguishing them from the existing buildings. On the other hand, the building-up approach is aimed to improve energy efficiency. Thanks to new spaces for inhabitants and to a complete aesthetics re-design that improves residents’ block perception, these renovated buildings represent a strong identity generator for the whole neighborhood.

MASTER’S DEGREE FINAL THESIS
http://bit.ly/2h0Tjjg
The old Vanchiglia unload terminal, sited in the Turin northern suburb, is one of the most important areas of the city to be transformed. The current urban plan, approved but never started, would transform this large area into a luxury residential neighborhood in order to retrain the whole district. My Master Thesis project is an alternative proposal to this plan. After an important research and documents collection about the Waste Management in Italy and in Europe, I have proposed an integrated Recycling Center especially for the Construction and urban waste. The great challenge for me was to demonstrate it’s possible to integrate an industrial plant like this, to other public functions like a terraced multi-levels park, an auditorium, a sports center and university residences. The final aim is to bring the Production back to the city.

LINEAR PARK On the South-side of the masterplan project I proposed a linear green area to connect the Colletta park to the Sempione park, two of the major green spaces in Turin.
RECYCLED MATERIALS STORE Under the park I planned united wide areas to store the waste.
WORK SQUARE The main Center function: 18.000 square meter area where Construction waste can be transformed in recycled materials.
EQUIPPED COVERAGE A regular football field used as coverage for the main workplace, filters also the dust and the noise produced by the Center.
DORMS Three residential towers for students: double rooms, shared services and community spaces and small apartments on the highest floors.
