The home of the artist.
Prof.Armando dal Fabbro, 2012.
The project is based on the repetition of a 3,75 m x 3,75 m element, which represents a baloon frame structure in X-lam, thought as a temporary architecture. The module repetes itself for three times in its length and develops on two floors. This stilt house is located in Torcello, and island in Venice’s lagoon. The project is realized in reference to Le Corbusier’s Cabanon, for what concerns the study of the Existenz Minimum, instead it is inspired to Unitè D’Habitation for the serial repetition. The peculiar composition of the structure has as main goal to frame the lagoon landscape.
For this reason there aren’t any windows in the long sides of the structure, instead the short side is totally opened, in order to gain light and to admire the landscape. The concept of the volume is based on the idea of suspension: on the first floors there are less closed modules than the second floor. The house is divided in three parts by a central services block, composed by the articulation of the furniture around the stairs. Like in the venetian houses, there are two different entrances: the main entry way is the one in front of the water, which can be reached only with a boat; the second one is the back door, which access is avaible by feet. The whole of the stilt houses creates a system on the water, which ends with a raised square.

Under a composed roof.
Prof.Gundula Rakowitz, 2013.
The project is located near the sea plane military base in the Vignole Island, in Venice’s lagoon. The main theme is again the repetition of a standard module. The most important element is represented by the roof, which covers the sequence of different buildings finalized to host workers and visitors interested in the functions related to the sea plane base. The single element measures 15 m x 15 m x 15 m. The project is based on the typical venetian habits, connected to peculiar narrow ways interrupted by little squares, where people meet each other, and the relationship with the landscape and the sea, which are
not visible but are framed by the surrounding constructions. The project is realized in reference to Le Corbusier’s (never realized) Venice Hospital, where the functions are clearly distributed in the horizontal way and the flows of the different patients, doctors and visitors are divided in the vertical way too. The same concept is repeted in the Vignole’s project. The roof and the underlying buildings create a system which relates to the water landscape.
*Joint design course 3
Industrial Archaeology Cover to discover
Prof.Margherita Vanore, 2014.
The project area is an ex industrial area of Naples northern to the main train station. Besides the advanced state of decay of the different buildings, deeper problems concern the urban structure, the disposition of the function in the city and the morphology of the terrain show themselves in a veiled way. The car traffic, so close to the interested buildings, represented another diffcult issue. We decided to start the solution of the different matters with a simple, clear action: cover the area. Two different levels of the city are connected by a huge roof, which creates two life systems : the first on the upper surface, with a square, and the second one on the underlying level with different closed spaces, which contains all the public functions, like artisan shops or the
theaters. The regulatory concept, in a technological way, is the supporting structure, composed by a sequence of opened 5 m diameter cylinders. These cylinders have the main goal to let the sunlight in, and some of them are also transformed in services spaces containing the elevators. Following the idea of “The sphere and the needle�, explained by Rem Koolhas in Delirious New York, a sequence of growing buildings in height creates the front on the main congested road, and they stand as start, limit and filter at the same time of the project. In this way a synergic collaboration is activated between high, plane and underground elements.
*Urban design course 1
Railway Venice - Cortina Fasten your seatbelts (?)
Prof. Stefano Munarin, 2014.
The project is extented on a line which goes from Venice to Cortina (an holiday mountains location) following the railways. These railways aren’t used anymore so frequently, but they lay in part on a trafficated commuters’ system. For this reason, the analysis of the line was, at the beginning, developed by points, represented by the single stations, and then it was assembled in areas with the same charateristics. From these different functional areas, divided in stops more used by commuters for work and others used by commuters for tourism, it was chosen a station which showe matters not only trough the main line of the
project but also inside the city. In Lavarone, a touristic location in the Dolomites, the station represents a strong division between two different areas of the city: the centre and the facilities. The main problem is the difference of height between these two functions, more than the real distance. The consequential solution of these different matters seems to be an element which can, at the same time, join two different parts of the city and solve the problem of the traffic jam. In this way a system wich includes the study of the element, with its start and finish point, represented by two different composed common spaces, become the real complex project.
*Workshop 1
Urban Regeneration
Prof. Javier Corvalan, 2012.
The program of the workshop was divided in three weeks, developing the project trought different scale. The intention was to build a structure which could hold itself on a single point. Each group suggested a possible structure, building a model in 1:10 scale and after that a jury would have chosen the winner model, we spent the last week building it in a beach in Venice’s lagoon, which had the peculiarity to change during the day because of the flows. The project grew up as a challenge against the gravity and the water, in order to create finally a synergic action with them.
*Workshop 2
Broswing Marghera Toward a new Marghera
Prof. Felipe Gonzales Pacheco, 2013.
The project was located in Marghera, the industrial area of Venice. The intention was to develop a strategy following a Matrix which focused on the concepts of scale (S - M - L), time (past - present - future), geography (culture - morphology - urban context). So we decided to apply a single strategy in order to solve the connected matters. A bridge for pedestrian, cycles and tram could be the start of a renovated relationship between the historic and industrial Venice. This link was made also in the vertical way building a tower, which can create a connection as a landmark with the bell tower of San Marco square.
*Workshop 3
Urban Archaeology
Prof. Fabrizio Barozzi, 2014.
The main goal of the project was to demonstrate the possibility to improve the industrial area of Venice, called Marghera, trough a punctual operation resumed in a common strategy. The theme was The Constellation, called in this way due to the fact that the project aimed to requalify the single Industrial Cathedrals in order to use them as catalyst of the regeneration of Marghera, which is composed by an urban diffuse modular texture. Our project consisted in one of the entrace of the whole, built by a system of towers, linked with the exiting renovated warehouses. In this way the project of something new guaranted a better quality and mutual relationship of the present buildings.

Return to Palermo
Prof. Sergio Pascolo, 2015.
Next to the centre of Palermo, in Sicily, the harbor presents contradictions like beautiful sea but dirty beaches, Baroque buildings close to the houses born during the construction speculation and the existence of a lot of free outdoor spaces against the difficulty to reach them due to the lack of a lighting system and safe crosses for pedestrians. Unregulated construction and state of abandon are the main characteristics of the area between the train station and the harbor. The most important challenge of this project is to introduce in a wrong fixed context a completely new type of building: the MUB, Mixed Use Building.
A mixture of function can solve the contradictions of this area in an innovative way which respect the traditional lifestyle of the location, where people tend to spend a lot of time together and in outdoor spaces. The project consider the existing number of lodgers in the two buildings which have to be replaced by a better system, and it is also organized by phases according to both construction site and inhabitants needs. Houses are mixed with shops and common areas for people of different ages in the same building; it was important also to think about the students, considering the housing matter and the functions related to the study, due to the closeness of the University to this area. Plans and sections are designed by the mixture of the many flows and points of resting of the different users. The disposition of the blocks is related so much to the architectural composition as the energetic issues.

Stadt & Silhouette
Prof. Manuel Bäumler, 2015.
A painting of the italian artist Canaletto represents clearly the imaginary that have people about the Dresdener Elbe shore: impressive Baroque buildings which reflect on the water and green spaces which keep free the bank, in order to live a closer relationship with the river. After the bombs of the Second World War the image of the city didn’t change, on the other hand the urban composition suffered of a wrong renovation of the residential area between the city centre and the suburbs. Pirnaische Vorstadt built the waterfront, following the majestic volume of the Brühlsche Terrasse with its gardens, the Academy of Fine Arts and the churces. The project aims to the reconstruction of a complex but
more unified system of houses of five floors in line, which creates a system of yards that diversify themselves by the grade of publicity and the presence of different users. The project divides the area in two parts, in a North-toSouth and public-to-private way. The main roads which design the two parts of the project end with a square, which is located in front of the landmarks of the site. In this way the silhouette of the last part of the city centre is renovated, so as the plan that now consider the importance of large common spaces where people can meet, inside the district and also in front of the river.

Under-joined
Prof. Marco Ferrari, 2016.
“Under_Joined� is born from the idea of an underground link which allows the requalification of the important part of the railway station of the city of Treviso (Veneto). The connection between the station and the city centre is very difficult altough there is a short distance between them. Also the station itself lost its architectural quality due to the sum of a lot of different uncontrolled renovation. The foundamental action of the design consists in improving the existing underground connection between the rails and to enlarge them in order to build a square which should make the subterranean crossing more pleasant and useful trough the presence of function
related to the station activities. In order to replace the lack of clarity of the actual routes, the project designs, as keys clarifying points, two outdoor squares: the first one links the station to the centre and it consists in a park wich can both be considered as a resting space or as a space that guarantees the possibility to host different events realated to the city life; the second one is closer to the suburbs and permits to open a stronger relationship with an area that despite the geographical closeness, results completely separated to the rest of the city.

The nudge. The gentle push toward integrated mobility. Prof. Ruben Baiocco, 2016.
Always in Treviso, considering the area of the train station and its connection with the rest of the city, both the centre and the suburbs, the issue of the organization of transports has to be solved. The public transport doesn’t work in an adequate way, like it is written in reports and diagrams publicated by the Municipality, and, for example, if the public busses are quite frequent during the day, the location of the stops is not well designed; furthermore, the other ways of transport, like the bicycle, are not considered in the transport program of the city. In order to solve different matters, it is necessary to think about them in a system which can regulate in a better
way the movements inside the city. In these scenario a solution can be represented by the organization of a good system of integrated mobility. The analysis provides the basis for project ideas, which aim at the possibility of building opportunities, able to change the habits of those moves, pushing (like is written in the title) the free will.

Study trip The Museums (CH-DE-AU)
Prof.ssa Franca Pittaluga, 2014.
Museums were the object of study of the trip. Architecture and technology, visitors and nature mixed in a single system, according to the peculiarity of the architect who designed the building. The pictures aim to represent the key concepts of every museum: colours as starting point for the project, the way in to the building of the visitor as basic principle, an apparently simple structure which creates in a complex way the best comfort condition for the people visiting the exposition.

Die Perspektive Landarenca - Val Calanca (CH) Prof. Tobias Maisch, 2015.
In a fragment of a second you can understand: Things you know, things you don’t know, things you don’t know that you don’t know, conscious, unconscious, things which in a fragrant of a second you can react to: we can all imagine why this capacity was given to us as human beings – I guess to survive. [...] I call this atmosphere. Peter Zumthor This Photography book aims to demonstrate how the architecture and its atmosphere can be read as a game of lines, directions and mutual relationships with the geometry of the nature, measured by the human size. https://issuu.com/federicalinguanti

Materials and lights. Synergic action. Lisboa (PO) Prof. Francesco Cacciatore, 2016.
The portuguese architecture presents a lot of peculiar charateristics, for this study trip the most important were the sunlight, the volume of the building and the traditional and modern materials. It was interesting to see how the relationship, elegant and wise, realized by the different architects creates in every case a peculiar synergic action between the building, the enviroment (of the city or of the nature, as the case) and the person who lives the experience of the architectural manufact.

Urban Regeneration of Linxia Bafang Muslim Residential Neighborhood Prof.Margherita Turvani - Zhang Jianlong
The Workshop was initially focused on the housing issues of the muslim district of Bafang, inside the chinese city of Linxia. This part of the city is a completely indipendent element, in the centre of it. The municipality already organized a sort of plan in order to repair the worst problems of the area but our project aimed to reach a more stable situation trough a long term strategy. Our group, composed by two chinese students and two italian students, decided to focus on the welcome issue that could be realized in the area that was assigned to us.
The analyzed area of the Bafang is mostly residential, for this reason the most adequate solution seemed to be to meld the housing matters with the touristic issues, trough the organization of a diffused welcome system, according the rules of the italian model of the diffused lodging. Thinking about how the municipality could help the inhabitants with public funding in order to improve the life conditions and at the same time to create the requirements to attract tourists, a general strategy was created. We tried to show the steps of the possible renovation of the district, considering the project of a single house, designed by the rules expressed in the general strategy. The peculiarity of the house were its historic value, the space of its courtyards and the presence of different functions. We tried to save the traditional atmosphere allocating spaces between inhabitants and possible tourists.

*Thesis - work in progress - Master Agghicunu cuntinuu. Siracusa 2016. Integration according to a dynamic continuous system Prof. Ruben Baiocco
The thesis concerns the Province of Syracusae and consists in a double proposal for the hospitality of migrants: the first scenario is set at the Harbor of Augusta, one of the most exploited points of arrival in Sicily, during the landing operations; while the second offers a longer-term perspective, within the context of the centre of the city of Syracusae. The first project, placed inside the commercial harbor, is composed of two main elements: the study of a standard module, which can be adapted at all the different functions necessary after the landing of migrants, as the operations of health checks, identification and reception of short-term; secondly different possible disposition of
these modules are designed in order to allow multiple and always renewable solutions. The second project is located inside the city of Syracuse, in the district of Borgata Santa Lucia, and it offers urban scenarios where the welcome of the migrants can be considered the catalyst element in order to build a synergic relationship within the city, not only among the people but also between different functional areas, that have lost their original level of productivity. In such a complex matter, it was preferred to think of two parallel situations, placed at different times and with different aims, long- and short-term, rather than analyzing a closed environment, because we wanted to show that the actual keys to address the issue of migrations may be the flexibility (as in the case of the harbor) and the ability of sharing spaces (as in the case of The Borgata Santa Lucia district).
