Skills Competent in the design process for both landscape and architecture. Having participated in some competitions or workshops that had short deadlines, I’m prepared to work at
different rhythms and under pressure, being able to focus on the solution or on the final result, without giving up precision. I attended a english language master degree in which many of the students were foreigners, so I developed a grasp in both everyday and technical english; furthermore I had the opportunity to work and study with people from different countries and to experience different cultures and different kinds of approach to architecture.
Since most of the works I’ve took part so far were group based, I grew a good team work attitude and organization ability, being naturally sociable as well.

Public Housing in Milan
Unveil a hidden order
The idea for the bachelor thesis came from a design competition for a public housing project in Milan. It asked to design 14700sqm of housing, 1450sqm of services and 23500sqm of public space on an area of 18600sqm. The aim was to characterize the project starting from its

Working with a RE company

The aim of the workshop was to analyze the way in which a given RE company works and to propose an alternative yet plausible behaviour. The chosen company, Phu My Hung, had just completed a large development in the southern part of Ho Chi Minh City, consisting of highrises,

The houses along the canal house a lower middle class involved in commerce and small activities based in the house itself. The revenues from an investment here could be good. It is possible to raise the height and enlarge the commercial space. Again the government could endow the development and subsidize the current dwellers.

This kind of developement is seen with favour by the government, and could also have some revenues for the RE company. Despite the high number of current owners the number of buyers is potentially larger and there’s the possibility of government endowment.

Scattered around the messy blocks and narrow lanes there are some public buildings like temples, markets, schools, etc. The population is the same of the sorroundings. The potential attractiveness of those buildings could make it profitable for a developer to intervene and build houses for the current dwellers and other buyers, making room for commercial space as well.

Cultural Center in Porta Volta
On a surface once occupied by the spanish walls of Milan, it was asked to design a cultural center constituted of a park, an auditorium, a restaurant, a cafeteria and a bookshop, plus a strip of national or regional pavilions, which design was independent from this one. So the design works on the
PORTA VOLTA
idea of unity and diversity. The plot is ideally enclosed by a wall that recalls the idea of unity. This wall is formed by the toll house, transformed into an info point and the buildings of the auditorium, the restaurant, the cafeteria and the bookshop. These buildings are detached and the
voids in between them are filled by bunches of trees that continue the wall. Inside this ideal, unifying wall, one would feel the variety of the elements of the park and of the national pavilions. To enhance the continuity of the wall the buildings are cladded with green walls.

Observatory for the Changing Landscape
The assignment for the class was completely free and had to be inspired by the feelings of the place. It sure is a beautiful place: a small yet historic town on the bank of the river Adda. On the other hand the towns grow fast and chaotically, without a plan, filling itself with detacehd villas and
sheds, risking to compromise this landscape. What if this condition is pushed further? To do so a plausible dystopian story has been imagined. The storyteller of this dystopia is what looks like a normal observatory. It is placed on a high hill on a spot that offers a wide view of the whole valley.
OBSERVATORY FOR THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE Will you be prepared when you will face the hard, cold truth?
When one enters there’s a succession of feelings, from wonder to awareness to schock, that mean to strongly impress the visitor. Obviously, this story fits everywhere in the world.
Today - reduced money transfers from the central government - reduced tax collecting capacity - dependance on bank loans - reduced possibility of long term planning.

Wondering - the visitor thinks he’s about to approach an observatory where he would be able to gaze the river and the valley around it.
Awareness - as the visitor walks on, the window turns into a screen that displays the distopia of the valley. He is put in front of the dramatic consequences of its own actions.
Shock - while the visitor is in front of that terrifying scenario, a trap door opens underneath his feet, making him face the ripid cliff. He is now in front of the real, inhospitable nature. Changement - when finally the visitor walks away, he’s expected to have undergone a changement due to the fright he just faced.

The first image that one has of India is the great diversity within its borders. The means to represent this diversity was found in the holidays, since they are related with both the religion and the agriculture. The plot of 18x150m was treated as a series of calendar, one for each of the most

It celebrates the harvest of the rabi crops. It is an agricultural feast and the pavilion uses the first products of the harvest. These are the fascines and the jute fabric.
The birthday of Buddha means rebirth and regeneration as the spring begins. The water element and the colour white represent the purity of the rebirth.
It celebrates the resurrection of Christ. Its elements are light and fire. Like Buddha Jayanti it falls in early spring and the rebirth is both spiritual and seasonal.
As the monsoons end, this festival praises the kharif harvest, the victory of good over evil and prays for the rabi crops. Tradition says to put a seed in a bunch of mud.
Diwali / hinduism / mid november.
Lohri / sikhism / mid January.
Vasant Panchami / hinduism / february.
Holi / hinduism / March.
It is celebrated at the beginning of winter and of the rabi crop. This holiday serves to face the incoming period of darkness with lights. Candles are lit inside dark rooms.
This festivals is mainly celebrated in Punjab. People pray for a good rabi harvest while dancing and chanting around a bonfire and throwing food at it.
It is celebrated just after the mustard harvest and is dedicated to the avatar of Ganesh that represents knowledge. Mustard and other yellow spices are used.
It praises the end of winter, the rabi harvest and the next kahrif seeding. People throw coloured powders to each other in a very joyous atmosphere.
year 2011 Workshop at University of Thessaly
Lake Karla Labyrinth
Lake Karla is a lake drained in 1962 to gain agricultural land, however the saline soil never made possible a successful agriculture, so recently it has been partially reflooded. The idea was to build a labyrinth made of reeds and other plants inside the lake. As the lake was drained and lost
its unique fishing culture, and as it was flooded again and the farmers had to change their occupation, it can be said that the lake can’t find its identity. So the labyrinth provides the experiance of losing yourself. One first crosses the agricultural fields reclaimed from the former lake. Then one has to
climb up the dam, from that position there’s a view down to the lake and the labyrinth. After going down to the shore, there are some small docks, each with a small boat that will be used to sail into the labyrinth and getting lost. At the end, one orients himself in the open width of the lake.
- Crossing the agricultural fields Lake Karla lost its identity The Labyrinth provides the experiance to lose yourself The Labyrinth is Lake Karla’s new identity
- Looking at the labyrinth from above
- Getting lost inside the labyrinth
- Orienting yourself in the lake

Eco-Archaeological Park of Urkesh
Urkesh ca.2000BC
The idea of the project is to exploit the archaeological excavation in Mozan as a starting point for a park. It is an eco-archaeological park since it exploits the results and the attractiveness of the excavations in order to start a developing process that would affect the society, the economy
and the landscape. The socio-economic improvement passes through the diversification of the economy, the gathering of capitals for the upturn of agriculture and crafts, the creation of a network of villages to enlarge the market areas, the boost of tourism. The project works on
