Short Tale..
I graduated Bachelor’s Degree in Science of Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome, during the academic period I worked for Archea Associati at Florence office. Indeed from the very first time I felt the need to confront myself to the professional world for having the best growth as an architect. In fact, after the graduation, I worked as a collaborator at Studio Associato Elia -Giancotti with my thesis supervisor. Then I moved to Milan for finishing my academic path graduating with the dean of Politecnico di Milano Ilaria Valente with the thesis project ‘‘Margine Invisibile, un Progetto per Porto di Mare” exposed in the event Riformare Periferie . During those years I have developed many interests from the design definiton to the detail scale and the construction process. Therefore I started the AM4 Masterkeen Bim Specialist that helped me to discover the future of contruction world teaching me the potential of Autodesk Revit , and specifically the BIM philosophy, its processes and its standards.
Look what they say about me.

Hybrid mass represent an attempt, an experiment of densification. Basilea is a city in costant changing thanks to its good economy and its dynamic environment. The programme is challenging, joining different function in a single building. So the project aims to answer to the issue through a dense mass in which different (and new) relations represnt a value,not a obstacle.

The design hypothesis born from the desire to assimilate and interpret the figures and architectures that make the Oslo waterfront. The fortress and the fortified structure identify the landmark of the historic city; structures emphasized by the dominant mass, the materiality, the compactness of the object and the solid ground. The cultural centre lives on its double soul and on the continuous contamination that exists between the two languages where the strong material base attached to the ground is transformed and developed in height as a lighthouse open towards the sea. Earth and sea, fortress and lighthouse work together to form a complex image of reinterpretation and implementation of “ancient� typologies that have always animated the architecture of the city.

What is a student residence? A place where students just rest and sleep? The project aims to answer to those questions through a new way of seeing student residences implementing the programme with different functions e public spaces, designing rooms capable of increasing personal relationship preserving privacy. The result is surely far away from traditional italian student residences, acting like a civic centre where student are the real actors of urban life.

Each project is, for an architect, an opportunity to find answers to different questions.The issues that immediately came out while designing the National Museum of World Writing, set in the green area of Central park, are the following: what is the relation between the typology and the context? They immediately prompted the need to discard the idea of a completely elevated building, because it would represent a fracture along the boundary between the city and the park. An inconsistent and isolated break of a completely open front towards the Natural area on which this part of the city opens. The need to ensure the visual and physical continuity between the city and the park, has suggested the archetype of the cave as the main evocative image, a space where the first forms of writing originated, a space that men conquered letting the light come in and molded throught their flows.

The project looks at the tradition of parties concerts and festivals, the main question is: how architecture could contribute to start feed and make a successful celebration? Celebrations are never activated by spectacular architecture, but by the public in its interaction with technologies the surrounding and itself. Playground pavilion is designed by a right pure triangular shape and a system of multiple uncovered spaces; it is constructed by an endless grid of rooms that offer the public a continuous succession of different atmospheres and situations. The recyclable walls in OSB, organize a complex circulation, and through doors, secret entrances, mirror, stairs and holes make sequence of peculiar rooms. The interaction of people with the elements inside every room (such as water, mirrors, seats, stairs and so on) makes every space unique and different even if made all in one material. A collection of room of different dimension provide intimate spaces (compared to the huge spaces of the festival) for the enjoyment and rest of both group or single.

Nowadays architects have to deal with the climate emergency with new ideas and urban models. The thesis projects try to provide e a new challenge for Milan; design a new district considering from the beginning not only the building performance but also the energetic production and its network. The site presents a huge green polluted area that has been interpreted has a place that can be suspended..But how? By cultivating for twenty years plants that has two purposes, to reclaim the ground and to supply the biomass fuel for the power plant. A model that is economically sustainable and look at the new model of energy production. Could a power plant be part of a park? The answer is positive, calculting the fuel cycles in the colder seasons limiting . The biomass power plant is designed partially in the ground, locating the fuel storage in the ground thanks to the wide hypostyle ceiling that is totally automated. A spot where technology preval over humans.
