Milan, October 3 2017
Subject: Reference Letter To whom it may concern, I would like to recommend Eleonora Valle for an internship in your studio. She attended the course of Architectural Design Studio III at Politecnico of Milan with me obtaining the maximum grade. The project developed was a public Library and conference Hall in Zamora, Spain. The outputs showed the specific student’s skills in individual and research group for investigation, manual and software application and advanced architectural scenarios. Eleonora is a purposeful student, very passionate and determined, who combines natural ability with a willingness and great curiosity to learn. During the course she demonstrated strong initiative and drive along with the ability to work autonomously. She showed great enthusiasm for the project and worked using the proper project to design the Library and covered both the theoretical and practical aspects. Her ideas for the project were developed with great creativity, constructively combining her thinking with contribution from both my assistants and myself. On one occasion she presented and discussed the project with the 2015 Mies Van der Rohe Awarded architect Fabrizio Barozzi. At this chritics, Ms. Valle gave convincing explanations for her approach and the reasoning behind the decisions she had taken. She showed original thought and sought input from others in how to implement these ideas effectively. This approach demonstrated maturity and was very effective. She has passion for knowledge, a relevant aptitude for international relationship and optimal talent for languages. She supported me recently in my office ifdesign regarding the project “Sette Broli” Milan Yards in collaboration with Cino Zucchi Firm. Me and Cino appreciated Eleonora contribution as well her work and passion. I am sure she would collaborate with your prestigious Firm in a very valuable and successful way, thanks to her knowledge, skills, structured approach and diligent work but above all due to her motivations and enthusiasm. Honestly I consider Eleonora as one of my best students I have ever had. Ms. Valle comes with my very highest recommendation. Yours faithfully, Prof. Franco Tagliabue Volontè

A hostel in Porta Genova Design studio IV Cino Zucchi, Stefano Tropea, Matilde Cassani, Paola Sturla II sem 2016-2017 Milan, Italy with B. Cappuccilli and C. Fignon
The project call for an hostel, with gym, swimming-pool and restaurant, a multiporpose space and a public outdoor space, to give back an identity to the abandoned Porta Genova yard. From an urban point of view, the complex is structured in two poles, the multipurpose space close to the station and the hostel in the opposite corner, accentuating the alongated morphology of the site, leaving a greater accessible square with integrated green. The tension between the two poles is accentuated by the morphology of the buildings: the pavillon, low, flat and ground-accessible, integrated with the landscape, and the hostel-tower, which stands out as an obelisk in the horizon. Its complex section host all the functions, with different floors’ hights according to the bedroom typologies and the services. The simple rectangular plan bends on one side to better iintegrate the street and the entrance. The pillar structure and slabs are external and draw the facades: it finds inspiration by the Liverani-Molteni Onsite studio pavillon, which uses trilateration to set the inclined pillars. The green areas’s reference are the projects by MVVA studio, which integrate a mineral urban plaza with organic flowery shapes.

Uma casa sem lugar Design studio V Francisco Aires Mateus I sem 2017-2018 Lisbon, Portugal Individual project
“A house without place” is a spatial exercise regarding a house with no context and five rooms, each one hosting a selected works of art. It seems an infrastructure with no time, which uses the archetype of the vault to construct the spaces. In fact the power of vaults is that they separate but at the same time they unify the space (Monastery of Alcobaça). The plan and the prospect is built up on a module, an ordering element which allows to generate complexity because it finds a variation in dimension. In this way every work of art has its unique and different room. Since there is no context, the “infrastructure” doesn’t have a determined entrance, instead it is accessible from all sides. The five rooms (living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, studio) are independent inside the building, connected through movable ladders, according to the idea of Alexander Brodsky. A general “dechirichiana” atmosphere plevales.

A library in Zamora Design studio III F. Tagliabue, N. Bassoli I sem 2015-2016 Zamora, Spain Individual project
The library project in the little village of Zamora in Spain tries to recreate a microcity inside the town: not only a place where to read, but a multifunctional hub both private and public. The concept derives principally from a plan study: the urban tissue has been redrawn in a intrelace of neighborough’s directrixes. Rotated squared modules, which contain the main functions, are hold together by a “tender” space, a space for connections and free use. The entire complex create a new public courtyard in the urban tissue. The main entrance to the complex is from a narrow alley: in a sudden the space becomes wider and the curvy courtyard frames a piece of sky. A tought shell in the outside cointains a soft and tender interior: visible from the material as well: concrete outside and wood inside. One can either enter the library or keep on walking towards the river and the book-shoop/ restaurant. The study-rooms and the archives are kept insiede the moduls, with skylights facing north. All around the courtyard peolple are free to move and stop, thanks to a facade’s detail. The rythm of wood struts and beams generates some seats and tables in the wider areas. The auditorium occupy the wide space of the courtyard underground. The modules are extruded on the roof plan, in order to recreate the complexity of the village roof view.

Fun City Urban Planning studio IV S. Boeri, A. Muzzonigro I sem 2016-2017 Milan, italy with B. Cappuccilli, B. Dioguardi, H. Jin Choi, M. Camila
The abandoned Railway Yards in Milan occupy a significant portion of the city, creating a dead space which not only obstruct and fragment the daily transition of the public but it also disrupts the view of the city with no proper spaces of recreation and entertaining. “Fun” is the main idea that this project will bring to the city, to further the idea of escaping the city into the city. The Yards work as new epicenter in the external Milan circular line. They interrupt the rigid frame and the frenetic life of the city of Milan in order to attract and welcome people through a new landscape experience. Each Yard has a main vertical volume which functions as a new transportation station. These sort of “fantastic islands” , though, are not isoleted from the context: they are strictly related to the enviromental needs, population typology and urban services around them. The mixed-use towers concentrate the functions required by the pgt plus other main “fun activities” which could help to reactivate the yards. The connection is generated by a transportation system called Playing Cable System (PCS). Elevated and sustainable, it gives a new perspective of the city, beside offering a new service and helping the development of Milan ground public floor .
University

The areas chosen are: Farini, Porta Genova - San Cristoforo and finally Rogoredo. They all have diferent scales and they are geographically diverse. Farini touches a very wide context in the north-west of Milan: the area present a quite high flood risk (related to the Seveso canal) and lack of services and residences especially on the east side, completely into the urban tissue. Moreover it need a direct connection the the Garibaldi hub.

Porta Genova - San Cristoforo are presented as a unique system which starts from the very center of the city (Genova station) to the Milanese west edge: the naviglio is the most important landscape element which determines the design practice, beside the linear park requested by the PGT. Here there will be the first enterely public towers in Milan, since no residences are needed. Finally Rogoredo is the yard placed in the outskits of the city. There’s a main elderly and families population and there’s definetely a lack of services , especially in the touristic sphere. The project finds a relation with both the prehexisting building and the train tracks. Doubleing the groud floor the activities can double as well

Green interference Design studio III A. di Franco, A. Bianco II sem 2015-2016 Levanto-Punta Mesco, Italy with C. Tunesi, F. Venini
Green interference provides a riqualification of two different areas in the Levanto territory: the entrance to the town with a new oil and wine cooperative and Punta Mesco with a touristic path through the forest and a final campsite. The idea is to bring back in the city a sample of the Punta Mesco’s nature and frame a portion of landscape in the naturalistic path. Everything has started from an intense trees’ study, seeing them as architectural elements, which behave in original ways according to their species and the context. The Cooperativa keeps the central preexisting building and shifts a series of volumes that work on section, in order to create a connection with the charming green hill on the back. The campsite uses the trees as pillars and the performance room uses the landscape as a background.

Leaving Città Studi Construction Design Studio II M.P. Vettori, P. Pleba II sem 2014-2015 Milan Città Studi, Italy with C. Tunesi
The walkway residendial building requested is included in a wider project for the transformation of the Ponzio pool area with students, professors and small families as principal users. The concept develops around the relationship between the south square and the green space on the north and, more important, on the cladding. The building is a 43m x 11m parallelepiped, 5 floors height, with a northside walkway towards a green area wherease the south part faces the Politecnico with an open public space ending in the west side. Following the clay milanese tradition and the linear and proportional geometry of the Politecnico, the complex is entirely covered by an unusual brick 50cmx4cmx10cm set down with three different technologies. In the first case the bricks are hunged with shelves in order to have a continuous surface; in the second case they are staggered creating the typical “gelosie”, and lastly they are built on a framework to create a dissolution on the north shell. This prefabricated technology gets inspiration form the “Casa del Loto” construction detail by Kengo Kuma. The “gelosie” in the south part are set up by the square geometry. There are four flats typology. The structure is completely in RC and the duplex balconies are made of a stell frame attached by an “L” shape.

Via Filippetti 1 Interior restoration Isabella Calzolari architect Sept-Dec 2016 Milan, Italy with Isabella Calzolari
The interiors project, in collaboration with M. I. Calzolari architect, is about the restoration of an apartment in Via Filippetti 1, with no demolitions allowed. The project focused on the bathrooms and kitchen spaces: they had to regain a continuity with the other rooms, either with the floors or with the colours and materials and to wipe away a patina of time. The guest bathroom works on section: the client asked for lots of different elements to insert in the space (a shower, a bath, a washer-drier a big shoe rack...). The section creates a continous volume which contains a wardrobe, a basin, right in front the entrance, and the bath-shower. The wardrone has mirrors to enlarge the narrow space. Floor, volumes and walls have an industrial grey gress cladding, the washbasin stationing is highlight by a glass pearl hexagonal mosaic, shelves are in light oak and other elements in colour black, recalling the original doors. Lightings are displaced along the ceiling lowering. A similar thing happen in the main bathroom, where the sand cerim colours remind the bedrooms tone. The washbasin placement, with a designed suspended wood-stonework furniture, is framed by the wall and the lighting, and creates continuity with the shower, with mixed Mutina’s decorated tiles, tone-on-tone. The kitchen floor has been replaced by the living room parquet in order to extend the space. It has been used a Phenix opaque white finishing for the furniture, a kerlite marble effect topping, and a oak snack table with shelves behind. The previous light has been kept.

Ampelio Tettamanti e Milano Exhibition prof. Daniele Villa Sept-Oct 2016 Palazzo Morando, Milan
Thanks to the donation to the Civic Historical Collections of Milan of fifteen drawings by Ampelio Tettamanti (Laveno 1914 - Ancona 1961), the Directorate Historical Museum presents the exhibition “15 human landscapes. Ampelio Tettamanti and Milan “by Lorandi Faith, in collaboration with Daniele Villa of the Department of Architecture and Urban Studies | Politecnico of Milan, thanks to the Cariplo Foundation. Central idea of the exhibition is the theme of Milan’s industrial outskirts, in particular the Bovisa, subject favored by the painter and well represented in the charcoals of the early fifties. The project in parallel with Ampelio’s drawings was to represent the Bovisa and the places touched by the artist in the contemporality, using maps, drawings and photos collages. The study was devided in three main path crossing the area until the “drop” and they were called: the living city, the public city and the city of transformation. The representation tries to higlight the public spaces, axcessible today to the community, not only by a common view, but from different perspective (bird’s eye axonometry, 180° collages, streets prospects...)

Habitable CommUNITY Finalist project, International competition Demanio Marittimo KM278 April 2017 Ancona, Italy with G. Cestari, L. Visentini, A. Spadaro, L. Redaelli
Habitable CommUNITY pavillon takes the form of a temporary housing community. The debate on the reconstruction of villages, towns and territories marked by natural events, such as earthquakes, begins among the emergency tents set up by Civil Guards and Firemen. They assume the role of first “social regenerator”. The field’s layout is transfigured through the opening of the single tent’s boundaries and the communication of their internal spaces, now flanked. The blue color of the base fields, the first shelter, becomes the support structure of a single white and bright cover, symbol of a new future light to be designed. All units are connected and structurally dependent on each other creating a solid community. The setting of open and always in contact with each other is consistent with the ductile and inclusive space of the maritime Demanio that becomes an area of involvement in dialogue and social connections. The main materials used are: Prefabricated structure of pipe and joint scaffolds painted in blue, linen sheets to meke the light coverage (lighted by tubes leds), and white painted wood mostly attached to the metallic structure in order to have tables, chairs, counters etc according to the different areas. A lighting changeable perimeter is made of lanterns and confortable and informal white poufs are spread out on the beach.

Bonjour Bonheur Competition Start for Talent: BerlinCall I sem 2014 III place with A. Spadaro, L. Redaelli
Kreuzberg, Berlin. A neighborough that has seen a rebirth after the waal’s fall. In front of the famous Siza building Bonjour Tristesse, the project wants to signify a new beginning that starts from the wall’s rubbles. It is a both private and public building which host different typologies of flats together with work spaces for artists, exhibitions areas and bars. The urban disposal connects two principal guidlines creating a new street corner and hugging a green space on the other side. The arrow-shape volumes is cutted in two points in order to increase the fruition through the park. The main entrance is in the south corner which is in direct relationship with the Siza building: in accordance to it, it is the highest point of the structure. The metallic structure reminds of the “old core” of the berlin wall: it fades once it gets closer to the corner, all made of glass with a big void inside. Services and receptions are in a central-infra space which devides the building in two. The public spaces face the park and the atelier studios are flexible spaces which can become private and closed through movable panels. At the upper floors there are duplex-single-double-triple-quadruple apartments. In the basement there is a parking a laundry and cantines.

Taccuini di viaggio Architectural still-life drawings S. Duvernoy, G. Mele II sem 2014-2015 Valencia Individual
The workshop was centered on the drawings of public spaces and architecture in Valencia, in order to study them and to understand the volumes, the proportions and the lightings which make them real. The technique of sketches was free but the timing to do them was fixed. The spaces represented were different: the tipycal historic spanish squares such as Plaza de Napoli i Sicilia and Plaza de l’Arquebisbe, the port with the contemporary building by D. Chipperfield Vels i Vent and the cathedral. Moreover all the Calatrava complex with the science museum and the greenhouse. The different techniques adopted underlines some peculliarity of the architectures: the cinchona highlights the silhouettes and the facades, the watercolor the tint under lighting and the charcoal the chiaroscuro.
