TRAMoritz Upper Engadin - Switzerland

The way infrastructure relates to landscape is a very special issue in Switzerland: it is more than a functional connection, it is a medium of perception of landscape itself. Trains, for example, introduce a perception of landscape in motion and thru units of time. The spatial features of the Upper Engadin Valley fascinated me: a continuous plateu at 1800 m of altitude surrounded by mountains on two sides; four lakes strech along its whole lenght. The valley is well known for turism ans sport activities, both in summer and winter. People live here temporarily according to seasonal peaks. My project consists on a new light infrastructure - a tram, TRAMoritz; it runs along the valley as a connection between the alpine cities, from Maloja on one end to St. Moritz on the other. It moves on its own track, exploring new places and relating to landscape - forests, lakes, mountains...TRAMoritz activates the development or re-development of public spaces, in urban and rural context. Finally it defines a new perception of the Upper Engadin Valley.

Atelier Riccardo Blumer Master 2

ARCHITETTURA VIVA

During the semester we developed a transversal and extremely rich research across the fields of microbiology, genetics, design, art, mathematics and architecture. We had a cycle of weekly lessons and workshop held by qualified experts: doctors G.Noseda and A.Lanzavecchia, microbiologists E.Borghi and A.Costa, designers M. Montalti and E.Ricci and the artist A.Ratti. M. Montalti introduced us to the knowledge of a unicellular micro-organism, the slime mold and challenged us to work with it. The atelier soon became a laboratory with many equipments and tools to play with (petri dishes, microscopes, 3D printers). I was interested in the primitive form of intelligence the slime mold possesses: it moves efficiently to find food (oats). In a team of 4 people, using a proper scientific method, we wrote in the mathematical language of an algorithm the slime mold efficient growth. The sofware Matlab reads the source code of the algorithm and reproduces it in the abstract form of a square moving inside a grid of coordinates, to simulate the slime mold.

Atelier Nunes + Gomes da Silva Master 2

LUGANO LAKEFRONT Lugano - Switzerland

The Atelier studied the “Landscape of the Lakes” in Canton Ticino, focusing on 6 sites with very peculiar characteristics. Sites were chosen according to their hydrologic and territorial morphology: we worked on rivers mouths and studied how this landscape changes over time. Projects were meant to be transformations of territory, considering natural agents and time as strong active actors of the process. I proposed a new park on Lugano Lakefront, on the left side of the river Cassarate. This public area establishes a strong connection with the existing historical park, Parco Ciani, on the other side of the river: it becomes a new unified public space of the right scale and dimension for the city. In decided to keep some of the functions already exhisting on the site, such as the “Lido” and the public harbor because they embody the original identity of this space; on the other hand I defined a larger open area for people to live as public space. It also aims to dialogue with the limit of the city behind.

SPACE OF FICTION Via Appia, Rome - Italy

The project explores mythical spaces. A set of famous events from the Old and the New Testament has been selected and each scene is given to one student. The research first started with the analysis of paintings of the scenes: artists designed physical sets and landscape for each event, defining a catalogue of architectures that exist in themselves, autonomous from places or times. The project consists in a contemporary space for biblical scenes. My scene is The Wedding of Cana, the episode when Jesus transforms water into wine. The common site for all is the area of the Via Appia and Colli Albani, where old ruins from the Romans still exist today. In the Nemi Lake a huge boat from the Emperor Caligola was found: from latin authors descriptions it was used for parties and celebrations. I decided to relate to this myth and designed a floating platform to host the wedding. People would reach it by boat and then eat, drink, dance, sing ... have fun on the party island.

N E W P A NO R A M A B U I L D I N G Expo 2015 Milan - Italy

The project consists in the design of a modern, demountable Panorama for Expo 2015 in Milan. The word panorama was first used in 1792 and it soon developed as a typology: it is a space characterized by a strong visual experience of paintings, photographies, films, lights, objects, music, special effects, etc. The theme to exhibit is choosen individually, on the other side a few tools were given to all: a common material, wood, the Modulor to define space dimensions and the use of colors from Le Corbusierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Polychromie. My panorama is dedicated to the contemplation of flowers and plants. Three gardens articulate spaces; each of them is differentin dimensions, according to the Modulor principles and subjects: the Agave Garden, the Water Garden and the Wild Flowers Garden. I chose to use entirely bamboo as construction material and designed a system of knots to hold together the bamboo sticks.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE CITY Berlin - Germany

The project began with a research on the text Architecture of the city from Aldo Rossi, especially on housing tipologies that exist in Berlin. Five sites where choosen, each of them had a specific typology assigned: urban villa, block with courtyar and siedlung. The site I chose is Mauerpark, a very meaningfull place for Berlin since the wall was running there during the Cold War. Today it is a vivid public space where people meet for various events like open air performances, concerts or markets. The park lenght is 500 m and the typology I developed is the siedlung. My project deals with three scales simoultaneoulsy: the building, the apartment and the room. The building in its unity is a gentle curve that faces the park. The apartment is the unit that defines the curve, like the wagon of a train. The rooms instead articulate the outer sideof the curve and dialog with the city of Berlin. Aparments vary in their sizes; the first level of the builing is meant to host public activities and services for the people living there.

ONE STOCKLI IN ST. SULPICE Lausanne - Switzerland

From the movie This Must Be The Place by P. Sorrentino: Cheyenne is a famous rockstar in his 50s but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play anymore. However he still behaves like he used to: he wears a black heavy makeup, as a daily ritual. His wife on the other hand works as firewoman. Every student has been invited to choose a movie character to be his/her client in designing a small house. I picked Cheyenne because his eclectic and funny behaviour inspired me to create something unique. I designed the house starting from the space to be his makeup room; it is an intimate space with no openings on the outside however the material it is built with makes it very special and precious. Alabaster slabs define the interior and exterior perimeters; the light system is placed between the two layers of slabs. In this way the room becomes a tranlucent lantern that shines in the night.

MICHEL DESVIGNE PAYSAGISME Paris, France

When I arrived at MDP I had no knowledge of landscape architecture although I was open to learn something new that soon fascinated me. I enjoyed the time I spent at the office and the people I worked with. Here some key concepts that where essencial for many projects I had the opportunity to see. Territory: architecture belongs to a specific territory and territory could be itself a piece of architecture. Scale: many projects begin with aerieal plans at big scale and then they go deep into details. System: landscape is a complex intersection of multiple elements; how do they combine? Time: much longer and complex compared to that of architectural items. Soil and trees: tools to play with. To follow, a selected project from MDP that I collaborated to design. It consists on a serie of gardens fragmented by high apartment towers next to the old harbour in Anvers. We aimed to achieve very essential and minimal public spaces defined by few elements such as trees, path and views. Next to abstract schemes we developed construction details and tridimensional maquettes.

VISIONING ARCHITECTURE AA Architectural Association - London, UK

The workshop took place over two intense weeks at the Architectural Association in London. We spent days sketching in Covent Garden, at the British Museums, at John Soane’s House. Then we developed section drawings based on our analysis of the “site”, as a result of the complexity of multiple drawing techniques both by hands and by computer.

SUMMER CHANTIER - EPFL + E[ad] PUCV Ciudad Abierta - Valparaiso, Chile

The workshop was organized by the École Polytechnique Fèdèrale de Lausanne and the Escuela de Arquitectura y Diseño de la Universidad Católica de Valparaiso. It took place in the Ciudad Abierta (Open City), a “field of dunes” for architectural experiments. For four weeks we worked on a wood pavillion and developed part of the roof structure in 1:1 scale and built the exterior floor with bricks. We learnt how to use local materials and exchanged design and construction techniques with the chilean students.

With teachers Riccardo Blumer and Carla Mazzarelli we prepared the exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Amos Nattini e la Divina Commedia figurataâ&#x20AC;? that opened October 25th at Museo di Ascona, Switzerland. In pairs we designed each a room with a result of seven different exhibition design sets; then from projects we moved on to the construction of the structures to hold the art pieces.

Written Thesis Master 2

THE GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM : ART DISPLAYS IN THE ROTUNDA Accademia di Architettura - Mendrisio, CH

My written thesis deals with art installations inside the Guggenheim Museum, designed by artists in order to “fit” the central space (the void). It is a challenged to Frank Lloyd Wright’s project who meant the rotunda to be empty. Yet a few artists that I researched and selected -Dan Flavin, Daniel Buren, the Gutai Movement, Maurizio Cattelan and James Turrell- succeded in generating powerfull and spectacular installations suspended in air; as a cosequence they enhance the architecture itself.

ESCOLA ASAS DE LIBERDADE Ass. Amici del Quilombo - Goias, Brazil

In August 2014 I volunteered for one month in a pre-elementary school in Brasil. It has been such a great experience, I will never forget the time I spent there: the kids gave me and shared with so much, compared to what I was able to give them. I consider this experience of great importance for my personal growth.

MKURU TRAINING CAMP Oikos East Africa Onlus - Tanzania, Africa

My first time in Africa, I didn’t know what to expect. It has been an amazing experince, working with a Maasai community and living the daily life with them. Everything goes at another speed, “pole pole” as they would say; I learnt how to appreciate simple things. After two months it really broke my heart I had to leave however I feel very lucky I had the chance to know Mkuru.
