Since the end of my university career, that in the Milan tradition gave me a solid cultural background, I have improved skills in space organization, design in various scales, and management of complex programs. I’ve got also excellent skills in representation, from classical technical boards, to hand-drawing (certainly one of my favorite things and also the one in which I’m more capable), to diagrams and schemes and realistic renderings. Most important of all, on the human side, trough my two years of experience abroad I developed an attitude for adaptation to different situations. I like people, and I’m very good in team working and pressure-resistant, friendly and in genre in good mood and difficult to unnerve. I’m curious about everything I don’t know how to do, and willing to spend time and effort to learn, usually capable to do it with good results in a short time. My objective is to find an environment both stimulating on a creative level and on the human one, to grow even more and to test my acquired skills with other people.

nside PLASMASTUDIO I’ve been part of a team to develop the design of public space for the expansion of Shenzen, I’ve had various duties, from urban design to architectural design, from 2d representation to rendering, following the project across three phases, from the concept to the development of a single unit. The starting point was the plan of James Corner for a main system of parks in the new city expansion. Our first task was to create a secondary park system. In our work we have produced a variety of strategies to create a relationships between buildings, roads and green, first as a catalogue and diagrammatic design then as a general design, and in the third phase as the design of a proper unit. The project has requested to use various skill to menage general design and a proper architectural design at the same time. 1. Conceptual schemes for the green grid,
the project steps are disposed in a hierarchy depending on the importance of task and the weight of physical sign in which it’s translated.

that part of the masterplan shows at least four different ways of designing the public space.
9. Public paths hierarchy diagram,
a special attention is been given to the creation of a park system that could create a continuous network and a soft gradient between public and private, in order to avoid the well known problem in china of massive public spaces underused for the lack of connections to the rest of the urban tissue.

Competition for the re-qualification of the industrial south of Graz.
4. General masterplan,
significant kinks are showed through small axos.
Inside at 10th edition of the EUROPAN contest, I’ve worked with three university friends to a proposal for the Austrian city of Graz. The brief asked to find a recreational-sport usage for the partially unindustrialized south-west bank of the river, involving in the project the opposite riverside and an old railway that is gonna be restored. We thought at a system of paths which allows the interaction of work spaces, hard paved plazas for temporary happenings and green parks. A red path will play the role of leading line and horizontal landmark, a system of red cranes interacting with the path will represent vertical characterization of a flat landscape. The cranes are also the instruments by which is gonna be possible to download both materials for the industries and for the recreational areas from the trains, that, with a proper timing strategy , can also be used as public transport.

Re-qualifying Dharavi
Design laboratory about the biggest slum in Asia.
F
or my third year design course, I’ve been challenged with a group of other tree colleagues to face an open question in the Indian world of architecture, the re-qualification of the giant slum inside Mumbai, that is as much desirable for the real estates as is it’s logistically impossible to reuse since is filled with an uncertain number of people without the economic possibilities to find another place. The Lab. required us, of course with a conceptual approach since the real complexity of the problem is not something possible to face in less than an year, to arrive from the definition of an urban plan to a cheap living unity, passing throught a reinvented functional justification for the quarter. We faced the problem reinventing the city bit by bit, imagining small intervention delayed in time, starting from denser commercial arteries, and ready to embrace the formal disorder of the city as part of its identity.
3 3. Replacement steps for the commercial strip ,
core of the intervention is the main commercial strip that will be substituted with a step by step growing multistory open air mall, allowing to deal with the re-collocation of less people, that will be able to find an accommodation thanks to the increasing vertical development. following the existing path of the commercial strip it will be vitalized after every passage is finished by the existing people flow, will also reduce at minimum the weight of the change for the surrounding urban tissue.

new transport Hub, and mixed use spaces in Varese’s city center.
In my third year Urban design Lab having the possibility to choose a theme taking it from a real competition, my work group of four choose one organized in Varese, a city 50 km north of Milan, for a transport Hub and a multifunction center launched by the city itself. The direction chosen by the city was massive and not very ambitious: a series of big sized office towers, two small stations side by side, in the north a space for a covered market. We tried to point in a schematic way, the architectural definition was not our target, a different approach. a large platform, with a public terrace on top, and a bridge in the middle to use this elevated space as a connection between the two parts of the city separated by the railway. Instead of two station an unique one long and narrow, in the bridge, instead of medium rise office towers, an unique one, a landmark, instead of a covered market a large closed space under the platform, that can host temporary functions, and at the first floor more stable ones, like exhibitions and space for associations. The different flows were for us the main theme, imagining the new functions the challenge was how to connect each of them with the existing, shifting and changing paths levels in order to have the maximally permeability and at same time the possibility to close and protect single portions of the overall complex.

Terschelling stundent housing
Competition for a Sailor’s school’s dormitory on a Dutch island.
T
he competition for this student building gave to the Mecanoo team that I have worked with the possibility to deal with a very peculiar landscape, an hilly pine forest on a sandy island. Within a very limited budget we arrived to design a loop building, that instead of following the landscape was floating on top of it, allowing to pass under the volume to go in and out a vast inner garden which evokes the exterior also if with more linear geometries, and that sees big part of the distribution solved in wooden bridges creating a strong connection between inside and outside. I’ve participated in the design of project in all his aspects, from landscape, to architectural part, interiors and representation, phase in which I was in particular responsible for the renders. Also if the competition was won on the architectural side, another competitor was chosen for money reasons.
3 2. Roof-plan in the context,
1. First floor plan,
the bridges are connecting all the first floors, the ground floor trough the internal stairs and the landscape outside.
even if close to town the building’s surrounding environment is still pretty natural, a thick pine wood with a hilly soil.
3. South elevation,
also if the initial temptation was to follow somehow the movement of the landscape, money reason suggested a different strategy, a shape bended in plan to require the minimum ground movement, but straight in elevation, to create a strong contrast with it.

4. Diagrammatic axo,

underlines the interactions between the landscape and the building in regards of the entrances and the internal hills and how the bridges are creating a network between in and out.

7. Exterior renderings,
a. visions of how the building would look like in the
middle of the Terschelling wood. close view of a bridge entrance, a different material and a facade recession underline in the corner the detachment of the clean straight volume of the building from the wavy ground. b. the main entrance from the road that drives to the beach, building concept of a rigid shape lying on a moved ground looks even clear in the main entrances, the access to the main ring happens passing under it. The general ground movement gives also the opportunity of creating a different relation between roomsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s windows and the landscape, detaching them from the points of maximum flows. In every corner of the building common roofs face the woods with big panoramic windows.
8. Building landscape interaction concept,
the ground model is been produced on the base of measurement token on place, a series of points is been converted in a mesh correcting a very approximative existing topographic map.

9. Exterior renderings,
a. main terrace, core of the internal bridge system and
point in which they meet, the landscape is modeled to grant trough an hill a support to this spot. b. the bridges system from the ground level, the bridge system creates a lighter layer, also in a material way being realized in wood and metal, between the brick building and the ground, that also if remodeled in an artificial landscape with clean geometries,evokes the Terschelling typical one.
10. Physical model,
we decided to realize a very conceptual model, a multilayer piece of wood craved with a numerical control machine programmed on a 3d mesh, produces a nice effect of iso-curves defined by the darker layers, the building is realized trough layers of metal fusion, the wood is done with industrial rivets.

From competition to construction, design of a professional school.
A
competition that became a building. My first assignment in Mecanoo saw me in a team that presented this proposal for a technical high school in Leiden,occupying an area in the city center with a really large program of functions, with the task of producing a design strongly connected with the surrounding tissue. The answer is been a very compact block in which the possible heaviness is lighten by a division of the main volume operated trough very subtle changes of height and textures of several portions of the facades. A semipublic space is provided in an inner courtyard trough which is possible to have inner access to the proper school, the distribution of which happens all around this internal open space, and to the public functions in the ground floor. This project won competitions allowing me to see the entire process of design, from the concept, to the definition of the main internal solutions, to a large number of tiny design details, brickworks, benches, panels, gates, negotiated trough studies and options with the constructor and the client.

1. Schematic axo,
shows the programmatic continuity of the building with the surroundings, and the studied brake in this continuity with the internal change of material.
2. Roof plan in the context,
the mass proportion of the building has a strong continuity with the surroundings, the internal open space derives directly from the network of alleys and courtyards typical of Leiden.
3. First floor plan,
the distribution system describes a loop around the inner courtyard made continuous by bridges over the entrances.

8. Facade concept,
facade height is defined by the rhythm of the close urban existing tissue in a series of steps that elevates the building over the others and back to join them. In a similar way also the windows rhythm breaks the building vertically in a series of areas with different windows solutions, and horizontally into plinth and facade. The purpose of the facade study is to give the building an identity and make it clearly readable as a unique mass, but at the same time make it interact in a respectful way with the city.

10. Study for the inner courtyard floor and benches,
since the inner courtyard is covered and has a parking underground, making impossible to place a quantity of soil large enough to plant threes, the studied furniture was aiming to bring a bit of green and a short of more intimate sitting space inside the already intimate space of the courtyard.

Leo Kanner school
Institute for autistic kids in Leiden
T
his school represented an interesting theme especially for the future users, autistic kids particularly gifted in mathematical sciences. While the handicap was removing from the table many design options and forcing to fit the special needs of the institution, such as for example clearly readable spaces, closed stairs, a particular attention to everything that can represent a potential danger, the mathematical theme was a funny source of inspiration. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve joined the team after the competition, collaborating in a phase of definition of design solution for complex details. Through a long study of alternatives I designed the playground, finding a compromise between the need of saving many existing trees on that area and many specific functions required, but also worked on the facade and several others interior solutions. Dealing with specific need a low budget and a simple volume a lot of the effort was in graphic ideas to make the overall look playful as a school should be. 1. The playground,
the required functions as the existing trees are closed inside thick borders, bubbles defining areas, often becoming volumes to offer benches or small tribunes. The running track around the building is done with the decimals of Ď&#x20AC;, the coloured stripe tha crosses the building as well as the playground, changing his shape through the interaction with the interiors, translates Ď&#x20AC; in a colour and shape code.
2. Exterior renderings,
the final solution is a combination of a brick pattern with a regular grid of bricks sticking out and a random grid of bricks on a plan and surfaces donve with concrete panels on which is carved a graphic evoking the binary code. a.the entrance b.the back courtyard

y first task at PLASMASTUDIO was about the representation of the almost finished project for Mercedes museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked on boards capable of explaining the complexity of the project through very simple drawings, but also on a big exploded axo that at the contrary had the purpose of showing many different features of the design at the same time. The interesting challenge was properly to analyze a project, that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, in order to make its principles clear, through images that, having to be inserted in different contexts inside the presentation, thing that pushed me to use several styles. The images were used for the booklet and the final presentation in Stuttgard. 1. Main plan concept,

efore the fourth year of the master degree, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve participated, in a team of four, to a competition for young architects proposed by ARCHMEDIUM, the task was to create a new conservatory for Wien in the area of an existing park. e answered the request of a building that preserves a continuity with the public space through a gulf-shaped block connected to the ground in its extreme points. The plan is a reinterpretation of the existing romantic design, the elevation appear tall and solid in the fronts facing the car road, short and permeable in the front that faces the park or the canal. The entire roof can be walked and lived like a part of the park, the design of the various slopes creates a variety of spaces for open air performances. We avoided right angles and we have distorted the building to underline his main functions,and to give the impression that all of them, also with their own character, influence each others.

Humi Student housing and public playground in Milan, . During the second year of my bachelor Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked in a group of three on an area in Milan, with the task of creating a student housing building with a strong influence on the public space. The chosen approach, also because influenced by the original shape of the project site, was to create a landscape building. Keeping down the portions of the area crossed by the main people flows and granting a visual communication from the main road on the south and the park in the north, we lifted the corners. The west corner divided into two overlapping strips hosts the residential blocks, the east one a small auditorium. The internal function generate movements in the surface defining the image of the area. The whole surface of the roof-landscape is cover in rubber-asfalt a more resistant variety of tartan, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characterized only by a strong color, nothing else is part of the permanent project. The space for conformation and position, and of course for the presence of many students, should be able to suggest different temporary projects, articulated in volumes or simply as lines on the surface.

3. Roof-plan in the context. 4. Ground floor,
the disposition of the apartment is quite simple, they are all aligned along a corridor with a double height space in the middle. Oversized distribution spaces can give occasion to casual encounters and common activities.

Music warehouse Re-qualification of an abandoned warehouse in the south of Milan.
M
y final master degree thesis was meant to be a project focused on interior design, but together with two classmates in my working group we have decided to start facing the reuse of a quite big building in the south of Milan, to arrive at a detailed project as a last step. The big warehouse is been used by us like a flexible space that can be used by many cultural association in the quarter as a showcase through exhibitions, expositions, performances..etc. Having the various possible uses different requirements in terms of space and divisions, we planned series of movable partitions that can split the building in several parts, each one of them separately accessible and usable, leaving the empty space as a core for a building open to the unexpected, and around it many different block equipped for specific functions which can flow and mix together in the main hall and in the park. We also designed an expansion for the building keepin the rhythm of the existing one, in that are located functions related with culture production, atelier music classrooms, recording and dance studios.

the red pavilions, trough the continuous variations on a theme play the role of the common theme between the park and the internal project, they bound together the old building with the new extension, a rhythmical dried up reinterpretation of the old one. They expose outside concept of an aggregation of block each one defined by a function, capable of working together in various combinations. the park is designed to interact with the red pavilions, set backs and small tribunes design depending on the inner functions, slopes or seating for an audience, small playgrounds that you can keep an eye on from inside, or seating in the shadow.
the inner space is enclosed in a double tribune facing the center. A small elevated theater reuses the shape in a smaller scale, the entire hall can be divide in tree separate and working part with a complete set of services trough movable panels hidden into the walls next to the bar. An elevated red path connects all the parts at level 1, it can be divided by movable hidden panels too. outside the building becomes a bridge that grants in case the building is open an access from the streets (the original facade has no doors) and that can be every-time used a normal bridge to cross the canal b. park from west, the third core can be used as an open-air stage c. north entrance, this access framed in blind facade is underlined by a wide opening in the two buildings, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the entrance of the underground parking d. fifth red pavilion from the left, inside an information desk, a pedestrian exit from the underground parking and waiting spaces for the cultural production building.

D
uring the master degree I was required to do a small project for an architecture studio, not bigger than a single parking lot with the possibility to use another parking lot as free space, inside the university campus.One of the basic requirement was to do something eco-friendly, the real response to that, was to design the cabin in a way that allows to dismount it completely and to reuse the parts, so I have avoided the use concrete or other materials that cannot be recycled. The starting concept was to create something that would look like a section, I found intriguing for a university the idea of building a didactic example of some simple systems. Air machines, boilers, and solar panels are all exposed, railings, handles and all the small details are designed in a brutalist way to clearly show their assembling process.

Shading leaves An eco-friendly facade for an existing building.
T
he challenge for another small technology project was to create, starting from an existing abandoned structure, a green facade system for an office. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to do a ventilated corten facade, the passage of air allow s to use natural insulating materials, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also combined it with a green layer articulated in different ways depending on the orientation of the single facade. The green screen is obtained trough a metal grid on which creeper plants can grow. On the west facade windows are smaller to avoid thermal dispersion, the screen covers only a part of them, the plants are evergreen, so the quantity of light during the season is more or less the same and only the quality of light is affected. On the south front windows are big and fully covered by the metal grid, plants are seasonal in order to provide shade for the building in summer, and allow the passage of more light in winter, contributing with at the lighting and thermal comfort of the space. 1.

Graphic design Some projects of graphic design done during the years for various associations.
I
n parallel with architecture, I’ve always tried to develop also graphical skills, through the uses of various techniques and softwares. during the years I’ve done many small works for posters and logo design, many of them have been printed also in large number, some of them was just done for free for friends and I’ve allso done many logos just for personal pleasure, also if I always search to have commissions to challenge my self with a precise mission. The design of logos is always for me an hard but satisfying work because it forces to say a lot in a little space, an essential skill for an architect for which the training is never enough. 1. Posters for literature festivals,
a.2011 edition, about the multiplicity and ambiguity of the idea of Italy, I’ve had a short time to do that so I’ve decided for a very simple concept, a rain of Italy shaped glass elements, completed by 19th century’s typographical elements, to remind the period in which Italy became a nation, nice detail is the logo that deconstructs the elements of the national emblem, b. 2012 edition, about the eternity of words, playing with the theme, that is a joke about the Latin motto “verba volant, scripta manent”, words fly away writings remain, to say at the opposite that every word is eternal, I’ve tried to translate this concept in a crowd of people with no identity, which fights and struggle to reach nothing more than an abyss, but the words that they say during the journey, remain in the air, surviving to them. c. 2012 poster for the 15 anniversary of the association “Ero forestiero” in Vigevano, a non profit organization to teach Italian to immigrants.

a graphical project for a company that sells typical Italian products. The labels are for a line of aromatic oils, the client asked for small etiquettes that he can combine for the multi aromatic oils, the mood needed to be fresh and young, nothing to serious or done to look exclusive or prestigious, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve redesigned his logo and used a sketched style that was really appreciated.

Drawings Selection of drawings done by hand and digitally elaborated.
My
first passion is always been the free-hand drawing, in various forms. I’ve attended for the high-school years an night-school of art to improve drawing and painting skills, and during the university years I’ve started to merge those skills with the computer ones. I’m pretty good with pencils, markers and crayons, in the past I’ve used a lot oil painting and watercolors. I’ve done some competitions, but mainly I design just for the taste of it, short tales, comics, t-shirts, usually with a very complex use of lines for small details and shading, for a long period almost totally in black and white, but lately I’m trying to experiment ways of adding something to that defined stile through digital painting. 1. Cover for the “busta” design competition,
the theme of this competition for this culture and music free fanzine was “eating”, I’ve designed on the front cover this huge worlds’s-devourer and in the back a small sequence in which after devouring many suns, he implodes transforming himself in a star similar to the ones he ate.
3 2. Cover for the “la lettura” design competition,
the competition launched by a prestigious italian litterature magazine was without a clear theme. I’ve decided to send a drawing with the title “da prosa nasce prosa” a joke on an italian common sentence to say that small thing can in time generate a big one, my title meant that prose generates other prose, meaning that litterature is a living thing, and a concept can be analized, confronted, evoluted, in infinite way as in the illustration from a first book all the others take somthing changing and expanding the concept.
3. Lucks t-shirt,
this is an extracted from the first series of t-shirt printed under the brand lucks t-shirts. The theme of the series was “Sections”, in the meaning of a drawing that shows at the same time how something looks outside and what process produces this appearance. In this drawing the proud sentence “I AM VEGAN”, is distorted in an ambiguous way by the fact that a man is cultivating animals; I would be vegan if I could farm meat? I’m vegan but i dream about the possibility of eating meat? I eat meat just because I ignore the processes to produce it?
4. A recurrent thought,

a short story that was meant to be print, like many other I’ve drawn, on a paper ribbon with the end glued together with the beginning, in order to become endless.

Un pensiero ricorrente - Emanuele Faccini
49 5. The end of the beginning,
a design for the second serie of Lucks t-shirts. A model of creation following the Plotinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea of emanationism, God at the center of the universe is so overwhelmingly full that emanates the reality, from the most simple and abstract concept, the Platonic world of ideas, to the defined ideas of the everyday that we know, human history and evolutions are aspects of this path of definition and exile from the original core in which everything was one.
6. Propose for a Coca cola wall in Belgrade,
I was asked in 2012 to propose a sketch for graffiti sponsored by Coca Cola, after a long process of mediation from a starting idea,I arrived to this drawing, a closed evolutionary loop in which a gold fish evolves in several kind of creatures for then giving the start to the same evolutionary path that generated him. The final drawing was much appreciated, sadly it remained on paper for budget reasons.
7. Drawing for friends daughter,
Two friends of mine, both painters, had a daughter. I did this drawing for a t-shirt for the little one. Her parents are two tubes of paint kissing and mixing for doing something beatifull.
