ABOUT ME I gained experience in various fields through the university, trips around the world (Austria, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Spain and Egypt) and I had a professional training at an architectural studio. My passion for travel has led me to be interested in learning about new places and new cultures, and consequently knowing the world of architecture. I would like to be able to work on new projects and have new knowledge. In the field of architecture, I am interested: in the redevelopment of ex-industrial areas; in the urban planning in popular economic construction; in the insertion of contemporary buildings in the historical fabric of the city. I consider myself an efficient person with an excellent level of knowledge of variuos software like Revit, ArchiCad, AutoCad, Photoshop, InDesing and Cinema4D.

Residential complex in Trofarello (TO)

2011 The building project is developed in the municipality of Trofarello in the southern zone. We have chosen to design free buildings in the green overlooking both areas of relevance private that on public use areas. This creates a completely open building fabric for the south park area settlement. The features of the project: • greater importance is given to the design of open spaces, both public and private, through the containment of buildings; • medium density building in order to avoid dispersion and waste of land; • multi-storey tower buildings; • maximum opening of the residential units towards the outside; • permeability of open spaces; • integration of buildings with private greenery and public spaces; • a natural wall, with a shielding function, divides residential complexes from industrial activities to the east; • sinuous design of the spaces between the residences through the use of different finishing materials; • functional mix integrated with the residence on the ground floor of the buildings, avoiding the formation of a dormitory area and promoting interaction and social integration within the neighborhood; • there are two main arteries linking all the services to the residences and divide the green spaces as little as possible; • functional project of the paths inside the park; • division between housing and periurban park, between living spaces and those for leisure time.

The area examined is located near the Santa Croce block, close to the center of Turin. At the end of the war this block remained a large space used mainly as a warehouse for carts on the market and as a parking space for cars and vans. The recent intervention of 2005 by Gabetti and Isola on the area, has allowed the construction of an Archaeological Park usable by citizens, able to remember with its shape the ancient trace of the ramparts that houses inside a portion of the Ruins Romane. The architects Roberto Gabetti, Aimaro D’Isola and Franco Fusano have also collaborated on the realization of the Hotel Santo Stefano, winner of the Turin “Architecture Revealed” award. The Porte Palatine, although they were first integrated into the built fabric, only to be later liberated and monumentalized, play a fundamental role in this area. In this area there are several noteworthy additions, in fact in addition to the Palazzo della Questura, we can mention the Palace of the Knights of Malta, the Casa del Tasso, the Hotel S. Stefano and the Galleria Umberto I.

Project plan

The building examined is the Palazzo della Questura. It is completely renewed. The demolition of the side of the building is foreseen, which incorporates the remains of the Roman walls, so as to bring them back to light by restoring their monumental value. The new building is thus set back from the ruins, but recovering the space lost through a raised link on Via Egidi, attesting to the Palace of the Knights of Malta. The foundations of the old building are only partially maintained, while the rest of the building is rebuilt.

Render Entrance Hall Plan

Exhibition Hall Plan

Exhibition tables The main objective is to look for valid, essential and low-cost solutions that are able to surprise and capture the attention of a fairly varied audience. The first proposed change concerns the entrance to the museum, which is currently accessible via an internal flight of steps, which would no longer be up to standard once the intended use in a museum has changed; therefore, the addition of an external stair block equipped with an elevator was designed to allow access to the disabled, so as to define the entrance to the museum. Once inside, the visitor will be in front of the entrance counter will have a ticket counter flanked by a turnstile that will be used to separate the ticket office from the museum, on the back of the ticket counter was created a small support room while opposite the counter there will be a room that will work as a wardrobe. Before entering the museum itself, the visitor will find himself in a room of interactive reality, where in short we try to approach visitors through the technology through technology. To the left of the entrance there will be a bar with a 40-year-old counter where visitors and employees of the offices will be able to refresh themselves. The sign could be defined as a symbol, the soul of communication expressed through writing; this statement implies a close link between the word “sign” and the word “writing”, one can not dwell on one word and leave out the other. The sign, always through writing, is a means of expressing, sharing an individual’s thoughts, emotions, ideas, sensations, opinions, memories ... taking advantage of the immutability of writing over time; it is an immortal trace, a historical testimony: in which words are retrieved and remembered. Writing also makes it easy and fast to transmit information, such as writing music, algebra, etc. .. and today is now a part of our daily life, you can not do without it. The most common tool that comes to the concept of writing is the pen, in its different forms, from the primitive stick of the scribe to the ballpoint pen of today passing through the pens with the inkwell, the nib, fountain pens, typewriters and etc. In the vestibule, just past the turnstiles, the visitor is faced with a small space where through a touch screen can interact with the museum, discovering much more on the museum path also the screen is equipped with NFC technology to get information directly on the own smartphone.

In the didactic room the visitor regardless of his age will be able to test himself in the direct approach to the world of writing or write and understand the various mechanisms of writing such as the various strokes of the pens, the various inks and some essential components of the pen. In the historical writing room, we will talk, through the display cases, of the history of writing starting from the primitive sign passing through the symbols, the first signs of writing (cuneiform writing, hieroglyphic ..), until the Greek, Latin writing to conclude that we know today, using images, iconographies, different alphabets or multimedia technologies, and some Remington typewriters will be exhibited. Next to the bar, there is a conference room with a capacity of 32 seats, in which you will certainly not miss the projector and many other tools that can help on several occasions; a small hallway at the end of the hall will allow the museum’s health services, which can still be reached through the same disengagement from the museum entrance. Immediately after the writing room, we continue along the path, then finding ourselves in the machinery room, where they are exposed on well-lit pedestals well-lighted the machinery that made the company’s history. This room has a door with a small flight of stairs equipped with a stair lift for the disabled that allows access to the contemporary art room. Next we will find a corridor with a slight slope that runs along the previous rooms, inside there is an installation in the shape of a “giant” pen designed with the idea of creating a path for a “journey” inside it, so you can view the details and appreciate the contents. At the end of the corridor, the room dedicated to contemporary art exhibitions will be shown on the right, where all the works will be displayed and updated from time to time, depending on the requests that the client decides to take. Continuing the path, we arrive in the corridor of the offices (or movie sets), where the destination in the design phase has not been changed, except for the side walls that are flank

A place of catering for the campus of the University of Parma

2016

The area is inserted between the Department of Chemistry and the student secretariat, and contains a Physics laboratory. For the design of the routes, an axis of connection between the future Asylum and the Food Project Center was designed, which, in addition to linking these two points, creates a direct link between the study and consumption of the product. To intersect with the previous axis will be a boulevard naturalistic exhibition that will function as a green axis dedicated to leisure and sport. The cafeteria building takes as a reference the alignments of the existing buildings, in particular the road front of the student secretariat and the axes projected by the Centro Food Project. The bar is developed on the axes generated by the Physics laboratory, proposing itself as a mimic of it, while the market is proposed as a “C” that surrounds the bar creating a continuous system between bars and markets. The table consists of two parallelepipeds, one of 50 mx15 mx9 m and another of 67 mx14 mx10 m side by side and placed between them to give a feeling of two elements that move away. The canteen building has two levels: on the ground floor, once entered, there is an information point where in addition to replenishing the tray you are informed about the menu of the day. After passing this room you enter the administration area divided into three naves: one serving, one self service and one take away. Once the payment line is crossed, the first consumer area is divided into three naves, which presents various ways of consuming food, in company or alone. At the back of the room there is an area inside which there is an arena where, during the restaurant, lessons of general culture are given in clear reference to the symposium. “The symposium in Greek and Roman antiquity was the second part of the banquet, during which diners sampled wines, conversed, recited and sang verses on occasion, attended dances and games”. Access to the second floor is possible from the cantilevered staircase in this room. Adjacent to the payment line there is a show cooking room where there will be chefs from the national and international scene who will show their experience in the kitchen. The area of administration behind the area develops the area of production of diversified food according to the various types of cuisine to be offered to customers, equipped with all necessary accessory areas, such as the dishwashing area, the cold storage rooms and the waste sorting. The block of services is placed after a filter zone that divides the latter from the production area. In the block there are the changing rooms of the staff, the warehouse of goods and public toilets communicating through a corridor to the consumption area. On the first floor there is the second room of consumption that develops along the entire length of the parallelepiped, while behind it in an apsed area there is another arena similar to that of the floor below. The research area is separated by a corridor that divides it from the previous consumption area and consists of: administrative and logistic offices, research laboratories, a conference room and a small auditorium. A completely prefabricated structure in lightened CLS has been provided, combined in some parts with steel elements. The mesh of the structure is modular and is formed by a network of pillars 40 x 40 cm on which rest the 60 cm high beams. The project includes a parking lot in front that can guarantee a sufficient amount of parking space to meet the capacity of the building. The ground connection on the front of the square is completely glazed, in order to convey transparency to users. On the first floor the façade is always glazed, but acquires a greater compactness due to the presence of cornices and panels of perforated metal sheets. The South face, divided in two by the sliding of the two parallelepipeds, is formed by quartzite slabs; the entrance seems similar to a Greek-Roman temple because it has long vertical panels in corten that recall columns, while the access doors, surmounted by aedicula, are located in correspondence of the three internal naves. The front facing the Department of Chemistry is intended for the canteen service and is completely covered with quartzite slabs that alternate with corten panels in the presence of doors and windows. The north-facing road, also divided in two, is totally glazed in the consumption area, while in the research area is covered with quartzite slabs.
