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.

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.

Id College, Leiden

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.

4. First floor axo.

Competition for the expansion of the car museum in Stuttgart, production of diagrams and technical drawings.

M

y first task at PLASMASTUDIO was about the representation of the almost finished project for Mercedes museum’s expansion.

I’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 didn’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.

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.

Campus cabin A two parking lots big studio in the Politecnico’s Campus.

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.

I’ve decided to do a ventilated corten facade, the passage of air allow s to use natural insulating materials, I’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.

nside an international workshop in Belgrade, Serbia, on the theme “water-living” I’ve worked with other three people to develop a concept for a new use of the Sava river. Our idea, developed and designed in less than 4 days, was a modular system of pedal-boats that can be joined together to form paths and squares over the river, pedal boats that can also be simply rented and used to have little boats to enjoy the river.

heme of this exercise was to develop the concept for a chair in one week only trough and drawing. I’ve conceived a piece of furniture made of plywood elements joined together by metal parts, a rubber surface and two elastics. This basic chair can be cropped to imitate shapes of famous design chairs, in a post-modern game, those shapes can be exposed unfolding the chairs and hanging them on the wall.

Visualization

Collection of images for presenting projects.

O

ften I’ve been required as a support for competitions’s final phases, to provide appealing images that could help to explain or “sell” the project. That could mean modelling a quick study from a sketch, detailing a 3d model and render it, or simply render and post produce renders. Here’s a collection of some of them.

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 ‘cause 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.

Logo for Lucks t-shirt, a brand of t-shirt designed by me and printed and sold toghether with some friends.

3. Labels for I-taste,

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, I’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.
