ACADEMIC WORKS
The following slides are part of some of my works as an architecture student at Sapienza - University of Rome in Italy, during the years 2004 - 2010. The first work is a design project for a residential Tower and vertical GreenHouse. The main goal was to plan a high density building that could host variuos functions inside it such as residential, comercial, public spaces and in the same time had to be developed in a green and sustainable way. The second work is a small Exhibition Pavilion created to host temporary urban activities. The design challage was to create a fully functional space, a good-looking construction, resistant to external atmospheric agents, wich could be quickly disassembled, trasported and easily reassembled in various locations. The third work is a design concept for an external staircase at “Bibliotheca Hertziana, Max Planck Institute for Art History� in Rome. Located in the internal yard of the historical Palazzo Zuccari, the goal was to create something of great impact inside the baroque buiding, a tree-shaped metallic staircase, conceptually growing up like a natural element.
PHD RESEARCH The following elaborates are part of a three-year scientific research (2010-2013) conducted during my PHD studies in “Sciences of Representation and Survey” at the “Department of History, Drawing and Restoration of Architecture”, Sapienza - University of Rome. The interdisciplinary research was focused mainly in the following fields: Drawing - As a tool of knowledge and communication, scientific approach to the general problems of representation. Architectural and environmental survey - Its history, methodologies, instruments and advanced techniques. Science of representation and geometry - Integrated technologies and innovative tools for representation. The first example is part of an extensive advanced survey campaign performed at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. The survey was conducted with state-of-the-art technologies such as Laser Scanning, GPS and Photogrammetry. Data processing was performed with analog techniques (freehand drawings, watercolor) and digital ones (Point Clouds elaborations, MESH modeling, CAD analysis, etc). The second example is part of a survey campaign made at Basilica of St. Lawrence Outside the Walls in Rome. Again in this case have been conducted works of both direct (manual) and indirect (instrumental) survey helped by advanced techniques and instruments such as 3D Photo Modeling and Total Stations (TPS).
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER MONUMENT The Unknown Soldier Monument, in Baghdad, IRAQ, work of italian architect Marcello D’Olivo, was the main object of study of my PhD thesis: “Stereoscopic visualization and real-time digital models for architectural communication. Methods, techniques and applications”. The main goal of this research was to test and compare the different stereoscopic techniques of representation by applying them into the field of architecture and the way it communicates. The investigation was done by identifying existing state-of-the-art technologies used in cinematography and in the gaming industry, trying to apply their techniques in architectural visualisation field. Different stereoscopic methods were compared to each other in order to explore the benefits and the limitations that each method could offer. This research also aimed to create an interactive virtual environment, wich made it possible for end users to freely explore architectural space in real-time. In order to achieve this goal, advanced Game Engine software was used, capable of generating real-time stereoscopic contenent with very high quality graphics and without any relevant impact on general software’s performance. At the same time, head-tracking technology was proposed to serve as a non-conventional Human Interface Device for a more natural data input and communication between the computer and its operator.

PROFESSIONAL WORKS
The following examples are extracted from some of my latest professional works as a Freelance 3D Artist, made for different clients. Starting from given 2D drawings, it was required to create Photorealistic 3D Rendering, taking care of all the different phases of architectural visualization process, starting from 3D modeling (NURBS/MESH), texturing, lighting, rendering and post-production. In one particular case, it was required to create a 3D Stereoscopic Rendering, beside the traditional representation of the object.

FREEHAND DRAWINGS The following are some examples of freehand drawings made during my architecture studies in Rome, Italy. Mainly, I used to draw with pencil techniques, but also using technical pens and watercolor. Some of these sketches were made in the spare time and others during university classes, thinking of drawing as a language and tool to study, analize and comunicate architecture.
