Through a colorfull architecture, there is the intention to remark clearly the consolidation of the central administration at the heart of the campus. The building will be covered with opaque and glazed colored strips like a rainbow. The volumetry and the supporting structure of the old library has been preserved.

STREET SELLERS academic project - urban space
Bogota, Columbia 2006
In Bogotá, a large and perhaps growing parcel of the informal workforce operates on the city streets, sidewalks and other public places. Assuming this reality, and trying to support these workers, we decided to design a complete set of “street furniture” useful not only for sellers but also to pedestrian and citizens, such as show tables or stands in the shadow of the trees. The selected area is located in the heart of the city center, strongly invaded by street sellers. After an analysis of buildings, street spaces and sellers position both during day and at night time, it has been realized that the most

ART CUBE academic project -exhibition space
2003
As the first meeting with Architecture, it was presented to us a cube with 9X9X9 in a terrain with 30X30 that should be dedicated to Art. Exposing art? Making it? Thinking it? Several questions made me considering an open space designated to the public and another spaces separately, reserved to the artists inspirations and thoughts. Two ateliers as independent volumes intersect the cube defining the interior space. Boxes of thoughts and creation. Two volumes define an interior exhibition space and create specific paths through the art gallery. The independent volumes appear by themselves and at the same time are somehow with the public space. Art needs people perceptions, not just its conception.
