Synthesis
I support an approach that sees architecture and innovation as a tool to enhance social interactions between people for a sustainable development. In order to face the social and physical fragmentation of our society, we need to provide collective spaces able to bring back a cooperative and collaborative culture, reducing the cognitive distance between people and enhancing participation in harmony with the local environment.
I’m interested in an approach that deals with the scarcity of materials and resources. It is not a limitation, but a challenge and an opportunity to explore new innovative techniques in a creative way. For this reason, I prefer low-tech and bio-climatic solutions that can be easily understood by people and have a sustainable balance with local identities.
I believe that architecture needs to “provide comprehensive answers that do not reduce the initial complexity of the problem” (A. Aravena) in order to promote participation and learning process. The synthesis can be reached with an interdisciplinary approach, that deals at the same time with social, economic and environmental issues.

THE SEED A CULTURAL CENTER WHERE HERITAGE AND RESILIENCY MEET Sedhiou, Senegal
How can a building be a catalyst of social cohesion in the Sedhiou’s community, embracing their local identity and principles of sustainability? The engagement of the local community in the construction process and the choice of local material (accessible and environmentally friendly resources) lead to the enhancement of the local identity. The low cost techniques facilitate the unspecialized workers for self construction and activate an implementation and learning process.

Bioclimatic design: I always see architecture as thermodynamically open systems that work through permanent interchange of material, energy and information. The pergola wants to generate a flexible space connected with the surrounding environment, The change of material creates a gradient between the interior and the exterior.

COWORKING SUN-TIME FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION OF AN OLD CINEMA La Spezia, Italy collaboration with: Arch. Gilberto Golla
The working environments, and even more co-working spaces, are going through radical changes in the last years, requiring always new and innovative spaces. We imagine a project that evolves through time, as the building already did in its history, we have decided to intervene by providing a system of platforms with various degrees of accessibility, visibility and dimensions that can be freely occupied and can easily change function over time. The new program has to be able to harmoniously integrate itself and valorize the architectonical beauty of the existing cinema.

NEW CREATIVE COMMUNITY IN POBLENOU COWORKING: CATALYST OF SOCIAL COHESION Poblenou district, Barcelona
How to plan and design a new environment in Poblenou, Barcelona, that can positively affect the social cohesion between the existing communities and emergent creative initiatives by carefully creating productive collective spaces. The Master Dissertation project titled “New creative community in Poblenou� was developed as part of Streetscape Territories, an international collective research practice. The research focuses on the transformation of the urban fabric through architectural intervention, considering the making of diverse and tolerant streetscapes the main objective to achieve socially, economically and environmentally sustainable environments for its inhabitants. Here, the research by design starts from the street and the related conditions of accessibility, permeability and proximity, and how their inhabitants can give meaning to them by appropriation. The thesis wants to denote the social and physical fragmentation of our society,
highlighting how in our cities there is a clear lack of social interactions, exchange of information and sharing of values and experiences. The project addressed the question of how to plan and design a new environment in Poblenou, Barcelona, that can positively affect the social cohesion between the existing communities and emergent creative initiatives by carefully creating productive collective spaces. Until the early twentieth century, Poblenou was the most productive industrial district of Barcelona. In the last decades, the intention to transform Poblenou into the newest cultural and entrepreneurial epicenter inside the city, has led to an intense development called 22@. The new interventions in the existing urban
fabric have led to social resistance and disagreements among inhabitants. The streetscape research demonstrates how the new alienating office buildings, promoted by foreign investors have been imposing their own values in the area increasing certainly the gap between the inhabitants and productive space. At the same time a new creative community has emerged in the barrio in a heterogeneous way. Creative hubs, small co-working spaces and communities of artists all took place in the existing neglected industrial buildings supporting the local dynamics of innovation. Nevertheless, these activities turn out to be isolated from one another without having the opportunity to collaborate and interact with the neighborhood. In order to avoid the lock-in effect of the creative community that can be identified
as the key driver of sustainable economic growth, the architectural proposal wants to redefine the porosity and accessibility of the existing blocks without changing the traditional image and identity of the urban fabric. The street can not be the only space for connections, there is the need to create a gradient of open collective spaces able to connect the street to the productive space. The system of gates, courtyards, open staircases, and galleries defines a gradient of configurations that rethink a Mediterranean tradition in the new creative working environment. People can give different shades of meaning, selecting their position in the sequence of collective spaces. It provides crossfertilization in the creative community and a learning and participatory environment for the residents.
Section 1 : transition street - working space
These intermediate spaces bond together a network of co-working ‘platforms’, Maker spaces, temporary accommodations and facilities shared by workers and inhabitants. I believe that it is important to keep the ‘human scale’ for a collaborative working environment where members have the feeling of being part of a working community without feeling lost in the crowd. At the same time the supplementary space in-between the working units becomes the opportunity for “temporary clusters” (events, exhibitions and workshops) for a more intense exchange of information and knowledge with external actors. A light structure with transparent and sliding doors becomes the tool to generate this complex system of connections and interactions. The collective spaces work as a buffer zone between interior and
exterior, enhancing the thermal control and the interior comfort in a passive way. The project promotes a genuine connection with the local environment (natural light, crossing ventilation, greenery), by minimizing the use of complex installations. In conclusion with this project I want to show a different way of thinking the smart city nowadays. The roles of productivity, innovation and technological development become a tool to bring back in the city a cooperative and collaborative culture. In this complex process, urban space from the domestic scale until the scale of the city, has to be understood as a sequence of collective spaces, able to reduce the cognitive distance between people andpromote participation.

THE BOOKYARD COLLECTIVE SPACES FOR THE NEIGBOTHOOD
A new network of cultural facilities for the neighbrohood
the Bookyard is a network of indoor and outdoor small cozy spaces for the local inhabitants. The borders are generated by the houses and the private gardens that have new gates open towards the courtyard. Several activities are focused on the reading, and they try to promote social interaction and cultural exchange.
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCES COLLABORATION, CREATIVITY, CONSTRUCTION Ireland, Lisbon, Turin, Lastoures
Starting from several years spent working in the carpentry of my father, I've been developing an interest in the construction process. This experience has pushed me to integrate my academic career with practical and construction experiences abroad. In addition to learning local construction techniques and how to design with a scarcity of material resources, I developed the ability to make decisions and collaborate with people having different professional and cultural approaches.
