Tutto Performance and Exhibition for Manifesta 12 Internship: Matilde Cassani project year: 2018 site: Piazza dei Quattro Canti, Palermo, Italy team: Matilde Cassani, Leonardo Gatti, Filippo Oppimitti supervision: Matilde Cassani Tutto (everything) reworks the traditions of the Sicilian Baroque to reveal the complexity of the cultural influences coexisting in the Sicilian capital today. The proposal, a day time pyrotechnical show that have taken place on Saturday 16 June, takes into consideration the same tools and media of a public celebration, uses the same techniques of the public feast, and speaks also about contemporary times and
the newly settled communities. The four, almost identical, façades of the octagonal square present, on each floor, a decoration inspired by the past history of the city (the 4 rivers, the 4 seasons, the 4 main foreign dominators of the city and finally the 4 patron saints). Tutto adds a “new layer” to the illustrated narration of the evolution of Palermo with four specially-made festive velvet drapes, that show the saints Santa Lucia, Santa Rosalia, San Francesco and Sant’Antonio, represented with attributes and appearance different from the traditional ones, obtained by mixing and superimposing characteristics and objects deduced from other cultures and places and taken as symbols of diversity and transformation still underway. The installation draws from the traditional Sicilian events, involves Sicilian producers and engages the whole citizenship, by becoming an official celebration day to be added to the calendar of the city’ s festivities

House Restoration new sewing school in Inujima course: whorkshop INUJIMA | Architecture becomes environment project year: 2017 site: Inujima, Japan team: Filippo Oppimitti, Martina Corbella, Gaia Meacci, Emanuele Moro, Alessio Palmieri, Ottavio Pedretti, Carlotta Testa supervision: Kazuyo Sejima, Kae Ito It seemed that the only way to realize the plan was to walk around the area over and over in order to become more familiar with environment. (Kazuyo Sejima) Inujima is the small Island, in the Japan Inner Sea, in wich, in the first half of 2017 we worked on, inside the Advanced Architectural Design Studio ( held by Kazuyo Sejima ). Various sceneries appear as you take a walk around this island created by gentle hills. The island has a gently sloping landscape so that, as you walk, the sea is continually coming into view
right next to you before disappearing again. Basins, which remain from the old quarries, appear in various points on the island as ponds. Though only one stone quarry remains active now, the ambiance of the time when quarries were thriving remains as these ponds create a landscape of its own. The old copper refinery is preserved as a heritage of industrial modernization and is now partially used as an art museum.Adjacent to the refinery, in the village, the “Inujima Art House Project� started in 2010 and empty homes and lots were transformed into exhibition spaces with careful attention to preserve the special characteristics of the place. The workshop allowed us to immerse in the context of the island, understand it and work in it, becoming active part of its conversion. We Participated in the interior renovation of one of the abandoned buildings near the main village. The interior renovation was divided in 3 parts: (1) set up the interior space of the house, clearing and cleaning it; (2) plaster the interior walls; (3) apply a finishing layer to the walls and prepare the space to be used for the local people. We also set up a space for showing the Triennale exhibition. And we designed and realized new fornitures for the space.

Atlas of a Potential City
Project for the management and reuse of confiscated assets from organized crime in Milan course : Master Thesis project year: 2018 site: Milano team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci supervision: Stefano Boeri, Azzurra Muzzonigro
The research deals with the confiscation of assets as a fundamental means for the fight against organized crime by designing new management systems and new reuse strategies to take advantages of this enormous economic and above all social potential still partially expressed. The first part of the thesis is a wide-ranging research, that analyses the phenomenon with a multidisciplinary approach, trying to face the great problem of the almost total absence of information on the quantity and quality of the assets confiscated. The analysis starts from the
analysis of the phenomenon on a European scale and then focuses on the Italian case, deepening its historical evolution, the historical regulatory context and the process of conferment. Later it focuses on the case study of Milan defining a map of those goods that could be located. After having systematized the collected data, highlighted the critical issues found and tried to understand how to bring out the symbolic value and meaning that these goods possess, we have therefore defined a new scenario for the life cycle of these assets. The design part focuses on the one hand, in the definition, with a meta-project approach, of a system made of urban devices, social activators, different from each other, each characterized by specific qualities that allow citizens to get in touch with these assets using them directly, and on the other hand in the development of a multifunctional project in the area surrounding Casa Chiaravalle, the largest confiscated asset in the north of Italy.

BOMBING SEMPIONE A manifesto for a Critical Antropocentism course: Town planning design workshop project year: 2015-2016 site: Parco Sempione, Milan, Italy team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci, Antonin Mangin, Beatrice Rogantini supervision: Stefano Boeri, Michele Brunello The future is of the City and the cities of tomorrow must be conceived with a wider vision that takes into account not only the habitat of the human species. Our project pushes the accelerator on the paradox of non-anthropocentrism, making it clear that whatever man does to leave space to other species is nevertheless the work of the man himself, and it would be hypocritical to think that he really renounces his centrality in the universe. The result is an extremely cynical project that imagines to “bomb” Sempione Park in Milan, taken as an example of completely domesticated, peaceful, nature deprived of that unpredictability that makes it “other” from the city of man. We bomba and dig 20 meters on the whole
area to artificially introduce a wild, unpredictable nature where man can enter his own rischio e pericolo, come una sorta di zoo al contrario in cui è turista in terra straniera. We give a financial value to this space through a touristic interest, using the excitement produced by advertisement and consumerism. The more you pay, the closer you will get to the inside of the park There are two similar underground buildings one in front of the other, in the continuity of the wall. One is located in Arco della Pace and the other in Castello Sforzesco, both being linked by a funicular. The access-buildings around contain several levels. The poor up and the rich down, all that with a terraces shape so you can envy those downstairs. The envelope is a monumental concrete cage, the narrow voids between the bars bringing some mysterious light. In the walls around the park are two levels of galleries, the lower being at the level of the park with thinner bars. The price you pay in a way determines the model of the cage you choose for you walk around the park. And if you can afford it you can ever enter the park. But it is then up to you to ensure you own safety. You are a host inside your city, a depraved visitor of Parco Sempione, who spent money to finish in a cage.

FIRE-IN FESTIVAL TEMPorary event at Scalo Farini course: MIAW2017 project year: 2017 site: Scalo Farini, Milan, Italy team: Miaw A team supervision: Ippolito Pestellini Lapparelli (OMA) Our team has been commissioned to strategize, plan, design, develop and brand a large temporary event at Scalo Farini in Milan. The event was meant to celebrate urban and digital subcultures over a week of intense and unprecedented experiences. We refused to launch a long term development plan for the area believing that the fluctuations of the current and future economy cannot be grasped by the fixed nature of architecture. Our plan consisted of an incremental system of short term, partially ephemeral interventions.
Two axioms were given in order to build the architectural program based mainly on the previous concepts of TAZ and escapism.The main thought is to avoid the definition of one space to a preset category of urban unhappiness. Also, to avoid the existing categories and stereotypes of urban subcultures, the approach of the ressearch group was to define the target by the wishes and the discontents of people in the urban space.The matrix is a compression of the research group’s work. In order to define the target, it was first thought to categorize things that make people disconted and also things that characterises an urban group.“People who use their time to do things that no one wants to do.”“People looking for love and sex.”“People who approach the urban space in an unconventional way.” From the 18 categories, it was possible to think of 26 types of urban targets. For them 35 ldic spaces were perceived. After, some of the first spatial categories were merged into one another.

WALKING THROUGH INUJIMA Inujima Summer School of Theatre
course: Advanced Architectural Design Studio project year: 2017 site: Island of Inujima, Japan team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci, Matteo Zapparoli supervision: Kazuyo Sejima, Jonas Elding, Francesca Singer, Giulia Setti
Inujima is a small island in Seto Naikai. You can walk around the whole island in about 1 to 2 hours, and to understand the true essence of the island and the strategy to develop, we have imagined an ideal path across the island, crossing the various environments and landscapes that Inujima is made up of. after completing, this ideal journey (done by analyzing descriptions, aerial photos, photos taken from the net, plants, 3d
models etc.) we decided to build on this island a summer school of theater. Therefore we decided to create a structure, active for only a certain period of the year that could attract new flows on the island without destroying its intimate and private identity. The intervention is a huge infrastructure, which includes all the school-related collective functions (classes, dormitories, canteen, relax spaces, auditorium, etc.) next to the harbor and four theater stages placed in four different areas of the island depending on the morphology and the environment: the first of these (the ruin) tackle the issue of preexistence, placing itself among the ruins of a former factory, the second (the slope) defies the height and vertigo, being placed on the top of a cliff, the third (the cliff) investigates the relationship between the land and the sea and in fact is placed on a beach and the last (the quarry) plays with the effects that the sun and shadows lead to architecture.

ANOTHER BREAK IN THE WALL Young Hostel in the former Garage Sanremo site course: Architectural design studio I project year: 2016 site: Via Zecca Vecchia, Milan, Italy team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci, supervision: Cino Zucchi, Paola Sturla, Matilde Cassani
Our project started from the, risky and at the same time interesting, idea that the courtyard, even if at the urban level is a fundamental character of the historic center of Milan, it is only used as a place of passage and very little as a meeting place and social or public space, and therefore the best way to create a public space in the site where the project is, which is characterized by a great complexity and variety of alignments; was to erect a single limit element, a wall, which would have closed and defined a boundary. This idea, initially very rigid and full of conceptuality
and feasibility complexity, has not been abandoned but investigated, discussed, modified, and transformed. The wall has been filled with openings that, establish a dialogue between the city and the project. As a result, the wall becomes a permeable filter between public and private space, without losing its limit and border nature, it was no longer a monolithic element that, with its presence, looms over the city, but becomes a system of spaces linked together , each with its own character, who actively contribute to the life and vitality of the urban tissue. Closed edges function as a framing device. These isolate a situation and thus offer new ways of perceiving a notion, a place or a condition. The perimeter wall cancels out distractions to create an area for focused experience. But edges do not only define a perimeter; the can also occur within, defining the transition between one group or action and others. Once boundaries are set, we can start to poke holes in them.

RESONANCE Kindergarten and recording studio course: Design studio 2 project year: 2016-2017 site: Via Beato Angelico, Milan, Italy team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci, Francesco Balsarini supervision: Giancarlo Floridi, Angelo Lunati, Elisa Cattaneo
Relating to the physical consistency of the urban context and the surrounding architectures through the materials, the typology, the dimensions, the proportion, the characters and the decorum, it has been the first intention of the project to fit perfectly in the atmosphere of the place. For this reason, the project uses a shed covering in north part of the site and a tower
in the south to rise the height of the surrounding buildings and to not be compressed by the context. Differently, by a mere functionalist attitude, placing the school in a secluded environment, the project combines the school program together with a recording studio to increase its urban character. This hybrid typology is able to increase social relations in the local context thanks to its programme and its architectural forms. The public square is in this way the element of the project that gives more this sense of urban attitude being open to the surrounding context. From the urban scale analysis, the project immediately moves to the interior design to make an architectural form that comes from the programme and from living the interior spaces to reach the exterior shape. This has been a way to break with the common design process and to create an architecture thought to be lived.

Things money can’t buy Urban scenography course: Scenography and spaces for representation project year: 2017 site: Piazza Affari, Milan team: Filippo Oppimitti, Gaia Meacci supervision: Pierluigi Salvadeo
Through the communication power of architecture our project drives us to reflect on one of the crucial themes of contemporary society, that of economic inequality. Some disconcerted data say that 1% of the world’s population owns more than the remaining 99% and that in 2016 the 8 richest men in the world had the same wealth about 426 billion dollars - of half the planet (3.6 billion poorer people) ). Starting from these statements, the project is positioned at the center of Piazza Affari, an emblematic place not only
of the Milanese economy but also of Italian financial assets. The project manifests itself in the form of a temple to money as if richness were the only God still revered on earth. The classical structure of this sacred place is however broken, deforming the columns into pyramids, making the intercolumnation variable and piercing the ceiling decorated with bright gold. The project becomes a metaphor of how despite the contemporary society living in the unhealthy will to reach a status of richness only a few at the end succeed, so, to touch the golden ceiling of our temple, are only the tips of the pyramids while the broad bases remain anchored to the ground. Lost then in the unhealthy search for enrichment, men do not realize that true values are already around them, anchored under their feet, and that they can not be bought. The final result is a flexible scenography that can give light to a plurality of scenarios able to satisfy the different needs of the city
