H.O.R.T.U.S. XL is an experimental installation developed jointly with EcoLogicStudio and Innsbruck University. The design was featured in the exhibition “Le Fabrique du Vivant” at the Centre Pompidou in Paris from the 20th of February to the 15th of April 2019. In spring 2019, H.O.R.T.U.S. XL Astaxanthin.g will be exhibited at the MAK – Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. The work showcases advancements in computational intelligence, in the study of biological models of endosymbiosis, and in additive manufacturing through large scale 3D printing technology. My main tasks included the development of a suitable 3D printing system, the production of 70% of the total volume, the catalogation of the pieces and the general photography.
H.O.R.T.U.S. XL ASTAXANTHIN.G
DESIGN In H.O.R.T.U.S. XL a digital algorithm is used to develop the growth of a then 3D printed organic shape. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are inoculated on a biogel medium into individual triangular cells; their metabolisms, powered by photosynthesis, converts radiation into actual oxygen and biomass. The density-value of each bio-pixel is digitally computed in order to optimally arrange the photosynthetic organisms along iso-surfaces of increased incoming radiation.

INSTALLATION All the pieces are kept together by a series of laser-cut pins in order to allow easier assembling and disassembling. The positions of white and uv lights were studied in order to maximise the cyanobacteria performance and highlight the details of the pieces. In the exhibition, the visitors can move freely around and inside the installation. The micro-organisms absorbs the carbon dioxide, including the one produced by human breathing, and transform it into oxygen in a process that also creates biomass, useful for the production of bioplastic material and energy.

Suro//Myco IAAC • 2022 • Digital Matter Studio • Groupmates: Miran Calmanovici, Michael Groth
The Digital Matter Materializing Circular Design Agenda 2021-22 introduces a model of circular architecture that presents unique possibilities for designing novel performances in the building industry.
12
suro//myco is an urban architectural intervention with the aim to make our collective spaces healthier and more peaceful. The production of agglomerated cork stoppers by local industry produces up to 50% waste in the form of cork granulate and imperfect cork stoppers. By combining this upcycled material with mycelium, an abundant natural binder, the aim is to create a variety of high performance acoustically absorbing panels which can adapt to different conditions throughout the city.
SURO//MYCO
MATERIAL TESTS The two main materials selected for the project were cork granulate waste and mycelium in order to obtain an architectural element which has the benefits of being cost-effective, completely biodegradable and having great acoustic absorption properties. Different recipes and formal solutions were tested in order to settle for a final paneling system which proved to be highly efficient and flexible.

DESIGN
14
For the design we start with the underlying facade surface, divided into solid surfaces and voids (for windows, ground floor shops, etc.). Support beams are placed based on the arrangement of the solid surfaces. From the facade surface we generate a hexagonal grid, with the size of the cells based on the scale of the building. According to solar requirements and wind loads on the secondary skin a percentage of the cells are dispatched from the grid. From this dispatched grid, cells are grouped into clusters based on the nearest support beam to each cell. This grouping of clusters is then populated from a preselected catalog of panel options, with variation in number of openings and depth of modules. Wallacei therefore tests different combinations of this modules in order to obtain a number of preferable solutions.

SURO//MYCO
OPTIMIZATION With an understanding of the urban canyon effect, the main objective was therefore to maximize the absorption of sound waves on the panels (primary bounce) while minimizing the number of sound waves reflected back to the street or surrounding buildings (secondary bounces). Pachyderm, a ray-tracing algorithm for Grasshopper, was used in order to generate a regular array of rays from a point source in the center of the street and measure the number of primary, secondary and tertiary bounces off of the selected building, the panel structure, and the surrounding environment.

SURO//MYCO
MODULE DESIGN For the final design the focus was on streamlining the structural elements in order to facilitate deployability and adaptability. This led to further discretize the assemblies and simplify the structural attachments.
16
Elements of the assembly are classified into modular and customizable components. Modular elements such as the substructure and support beams are made of durable and reusable materials such as aluminum or steel. Customizable components are limited to the materials that can be grown cheaply and recaptured as nutrients for soil, including the cork, hemp, and mycelium composite as well as the laser cut wood substructure for the panels. Finally, connecting brackets at specific angles made of aluminum secure the panels to each other and to the substructure, and can be reused or recycled based on future requirements.

SURO//MYCO
PROTOTYPE The final prototype (scale 1:2) was made by employing a wide range of machines: the metal substructure was CNC milled, while the panels connections were 3D printed. The placeholders for the mycelium panels and the inner structure were lasercut, while the mycelium panels themselves were obtained by letting the mycelium grow around the cork granulate for two weeks.

Le 12 Porte The 12 Doors
CampoSaz • 2019 • Design and self - construction work in Geroli (Terragnolo), Italy
Le 12 Porte (The 12 Doors) is a wooden installation located in Geroli, Terragnolo (Italy). The structure was designed and built in three days during the CampoSaz 16:16 Geroli self-construction workshop.
18
The project was born from a dual purpose: on one hand, the structure had to become a new landmark for a valley usually overlooked by tourists and abandoned by locals; on the other, the designers were challenged to use twelve old wooden doors saved from a nearby demolition. The result is a relatively light architectural object which works both as a landmark and as a "visual machine" for the valley. The twelve doors represent the passing of time, with each door being both an hour of the day and a month of the year. At the same time, the structure resembles a photographic lens which is pointed towards an area in danger of being destroyed by proposed new infrastructure.

Camposaz 1:1
Design and selfconstruction workshop
20
Camposaz is a wood self-construction workshop during which architects, designers and carpenters have to design and physically construct small wood installations, or 1:1 models, based on specific themes and aiming at enhancing the landscape in problematic urban locations. All the objects have to be designed and built in one week with the intention of developing a sort of “instinctive architecture” with no prejudices and with a lot of collaborative improvisation. Having joined Camposaz in 2019, I've since collaborated on six projects during four different editions. The following is a selection of those projects.
For the full credits of each project, please visit camposaz.com
CAMPOSAZ 1:1
14:14 Genova CampoSaz + Linkinart + AGO • 2019 • Genova, Italy The site chosen for CampoSaz 14:14 was the Piazzetta Piero De Luca, a small abandoned square inside the Molo neighbourhood in Genova. The main task was to revitalise the area through the implementation of urban furniture and the inclusion of the residents of the neighbourhood in the decisionmaking process. A number of architectural and design objects, including a new canopy for the picnic area and tanks for urban gardening, were made in six days directly on site, based on sketches presented to the residents of the area. No computers nor CAD software were used during the workshop. My main design for this edition was the "bow" of the park, meant to recall the prows of the sailing ships of Genoa. It works as a window over the neighborhood and as a base for climbing plats.

CAMPOSAZ 1:1
16:16 Geroli CampoSaz + Masetto + Comune di Terragnolo • 2019 • Geroli (Terragnolo), Italy
22
The site chosen for CampoSaz 16:16 was the tiny settlement of Geroli, in the Terragnolo Valley. Like many other remote Alpine areas, the village went through massive depopulation in the last fifty years and now only has 16 stable inhabitants, while half of the existing buildings are now in ruin. The main task of this workshop was to attract new tourists in the area, while also giving to the inhabitants a new meeting area. Two new structures were then build in the small square at the center of the village, which itself is distributed on two different levels. On the lower level, the existing playground was expanded with a big fitted wall with long footboards for children to climb, storage for gardening tools and benches. On the upper level, the existing terrace was given brand new furniture and covered by a large canopy inspired by the surrounding mountains.
CAMPOSAZ 1:1
18:18 REMOTO CampoSaz + Pro Loco Sagron Mis • 2020 • Sagron Mis, Italy The 18:18 REMOTO edition was born from a collaboration with Pro Loco Sagron Mis, a local organization that is currently transforming an abandoned kindergarten into a small workshop hub. Our task was to re-evaluate the unkempt garden of the school in order to welcome the public for small summer events. The project was conceived and built in just three days and consists of a large platform which morphs into benches, bar tables and a stage. Two strips of red-painted wooden slats run along the whole structure, unifying the different areas. Additionally, a small totem was designed for the main entrance of the garden. Acting as an attractor point for the visitors, it was built using the wooden pieces left from the cutting of the platform's elements. During the inauguration day, visitors of all ages could add a small piece themselves and in doing so leaving their mark on the new repurposed space.

Master Thesis
A transformable pavilion for Europe University of Trento + Cracow University of Technology • 2017 - 2018 • Individual project • Supervisors: Arch. Giovanna Massari, Eng. Diego Misseroni, Arch. Ewelina Woźniak-Szpakiewicz
24
This master thesis focuses on the parametric design of a transformable temporary pavilion in the European scenario. With Grasshopper an algorithm is assembled specifically to manage the project and its iterations, providing that both the groups of commands of the digital model and the modular elements of the structure are reused cyclically. From a structural point of view, it is based on a kit-of-parts system of bars and nodes, which makes the building easy to assemble and disassemble.

PART 1 - PROTOTYPE The prototype of the structure was managed through a single associative algorithm containing more than 4600 components which allow to obtain geometries and analytical data in real time, reducing to a few hours a process that with traditional methods would take weeks. The modeling is based on the intersection between an ideally unlimited spatial reticular system and a context-dependent volume of containment. The resulting geometries, i.e. points, segments and triangles, are organized into groups of data which are then structurally analyzed. Once the maximum axial compressive and tensile stresses have been fixed, it is possible to dimension the knot and the rod. The latter is composed of elements assembled in such a way as to be completely demountable.

A TRANSFORMABLE PAVILION FOR EUROPE
PART 2 - Case study - SÄRKIJÄRVI
26
The pavilion is a contemporary interpretation of laavu, small hut structures derived from the Sami tradition and now used in the Finnish forests as bivouacs for sportsmen and tourists. The project is designed to be an attraction point in the winter months and is located at Lake Särkijärvi, in a small clearing with a fireplace. The pavilion was modelled by a simple containment prism and merges with the trees in the clearing, creating a dialogue between the natural and artificial world. The interior is characterized by a single room where you can stay overnight. The horizontal panels are used as support surfaces for the goods of travellers. The structure is waterproofed with a textile membrane anchored to the external nodes. Electricity is provided from a small wind turbine positioned on the frozen lake, where winds are stronger.
A TRANSFORMABLE PAVILION FOR EUROPE Parking 58 Monuments Visual barriers
PART 3 - Case study - BRUXELLES The pavilion is designed to be mounted on the top level of Parking 58, in the historic centre of Brussels; the idea is to enhance the building and its terrace on the city, designing a pavilion that serves as an exhibition space and roof garden in the summer months. The pavilion was modelled from the interior to the exterior. An isovist analysis along the main side of the roof was carried out, selecting a group of architectural works of historical and cultural importance visible from Parking 58. Once the point on the roof from which the greatest number of monuments were visible had been identified, their relative visual cones were converged and extruded to define the voids of the pavilion. The external volume has been defined taking as a formal starting point the domes of the study monuments visible from the site.

FA+U Mons Jakob+MacFarlane • 2022 (in process) • FA+UMONS Architecture School, Mons, Belgium • Workshops, Library, Auditorium, offices
The project is conceived as the combination of a urban square on the ground floor, with different entrances and exits of the existing site, and an abstract black volume in the image of an urban hive which contains the offices and ateliers of UMONS.
28
The ground floor materials are largely borrowed by the city's traditional brick walls and cobblestone courtyards in order to create a continuity with the historical site, while the black hive hides an internal white core defined by large curtain walls and generous light. My main tasks for this project included 3D modeling, rendering and interior design, with special focus on materials, the lighting system and the library’s furniture. Additionally, I got to test precision filament 3D printing for the project’s miniature scale model. The results obtained from the tests will be applied to the production of further scale models of J+M projects.
