REQUALIFICATION OF A HOUSING COMPLEX IN MUNICH Team Invited Competition Project Gefowag, November 2014 winning project
The group selected by the jury of Europan 12 with the project “Building the quietness” in 2013, is invited by the client to join the second phase of selection, leading to a deeper level of definition the densification project of the housing complex in Munich and rethinking some of the principles developed in the first phase. The project won this second phase of selection. The three housing blocks are separated by glazed bodies which perform the dual function of expanding the space of living, shielding at the same time the inner court by the noise from Chiemgaustrasse. The different types of apartment rotate around the central service “core”: the bedroom faces the courtyard with small terraces while the living area is protected from the main road on south through an innovative frame, very efficient in terms of noise reduction.

URBAN REQUALIFICATION OF THE CABANYAL IN VALENCIA Thesis Project Year 2011/2012_session february 2013 score 110L/110
Once the master plan was defined, the architectural project focused in the Lonja del Pescado area, the most interesting not only for the presence of the historic building, but also for being directly involved in the project of extension of the Avenue to the sea. The Lonja, ancient fish market of Cabanyal, is rethought as an Art Centre, new cultural heart of th neighborhood. The vast nave, hosts temporary exhibitions, while the side naves, once occupied by the fish stalls and warehouses of the fishermen, are converted into studios for artists with exhibition spaces and laboratories. The entire distribution system is reorganized with the inclusion of a catwalk at the first level. The building also hosts public spaces such as bookshop and cafe. The Civic Center houses several activities for the inhabitants of the neighborhood: a bar, a play area, classrooms for the many associations, a medical center, a multipurpose space and an interpretation center where to discover the Cabanyal and its hisory. Inspired by the Lonja, the new building has a two storey mixed operational portion on the west side and a double height open space on the main aisle facing the big square. A building in the Cabanyal, conceived and designed for its inhabitants. The residential project, located on the south side of the square, completes the area. The project takes its measurements from the old neighborhood and is inspired by the ancient “Barracas�. Bright apartments are ventilated by the sea breeze and create a low-density area integrated in the context, with courtyards and wide green spaces.

BILAB_CAFE’ BIKE LAB IN LJUBLJANA Team Competition Project January 2013
The aim of the project starts from the desire to meet the needs of the cyclist while creating an urban meeting point. Working with 3 containers, the solution seeks a composition in which we do not perceive the use of those facilities. The project fits in the lot creating an intimate and protected corner, open towards the park, hub of a new pedestrian path that aims to revitalize this part of town. A Landmark is created by using a vertical container covered with a metal mesh that lets the light through: a sort of urban lighthouse. At the base of the tower there’s a workshop to repair the bike, where to use the shared tools or buy spare parts in the distributor. This cyclist shelter, open 24/7, is connected to the bar through a covered space. The tower becomes the reference point for all activities related to cycling, such as charging stations for E-bikes and a Bike-sharing point. Inside the bar, a fixed furniture system creates different sessions, making a dynamic and flexible space where you can have a meal, charge your devices, consult useful information to live the city or just chat with friends. An open-air platform creates a space where to rest during the summer. The structure is energetically independent, thanks to solar panels and a heat exchanger placed on the roof.

PARIS MARKET LAB
Team Competition Project January 2012
“Paris Market Lab” is a restaurant and cooking school, which also functions as an auditorium, café and shop. The building itself contains the elements of the Parisian architecture, such as public functions on the ground floor, the regular front and a panoramic roof, re-thinking them in an innovative way. The kitchens, placed at the points of intersection between the planes, are the generating element of the project, designed in section and characterized by great spatial continuity. Starting from the ground floor, open to the city and modeled by the flow of people, two vertical connection blocks link the different parts of the system, passing through spaces pervaded by natural light filtered by the coating, up to the roof terrace overlooking the city of Paris.

CASTELNUOVO CIVIC CENTER
Architectural Construction final class Year 2010/2011 score 30L/30
The new civic center lies next to the prefabricated housing units set up at the foot of the hill of Castelnuovo, a small village hit by the earthquake in Abruzzo. The center, three main buildings with central distribution and a technical tower, hosts different public functions: a multi-purpose hall, a large recreational space and the church, as well as a bar, the venue for the association “Rebuilding Castelnuovo� and a small medical center. To accommodate this functional diversity, spaces are flexible and transformable, also thinking about a future life of the building with different uses, once the town will be rebuilt. During the design process, brought to the executive level, attention was paid to the use of innovative and light technologies, in particular wood, chosen for the structural panels and cladding.

PROJECT FOR PIAZZA INDIPENDENZA Urban Interiors Architecture class Year 2008/2009 score 30/30
Piazza Indipendenza in Florence, who once was born as a single large space, is now bisected by Via 27 Aprile. The project aims to provide a solution to this break, allowing a full use of the square while creating at the same time new retail spaces, access to the new underground car park and the bus stop shelter. The square, divided into strips that run parallel to Via Nazionale, is thought as a system that brings you to the lower level through the sinuous buildings with green cover, to enjoy the new facilities or just to cross the road safely. Great attention was paid to the walking flows, designed in a multi-directional way and with different rhythms.
