A new scenario for Almada coastline Almada - Lisbon, Portugal
Prof. Arch. Cristina Pallini Thesis Project, 2016-2017 The city of Lisbon is globally known for its process of redevelopment of its coastline since the 1990s, with different interventions often focusing on the industrial reconversion and the public space. The counterpart of Lisbon, the city of Almada on the other side of the estuary of the Tagus, despite being involved at the same time in many similar processes, is a case study studied less often. The fundamental elements of its coastline are a line of buildings of historical industrial importance, a huge cliff dividing these buildings from the upper city, and the territorial presence of the Statue of Cristo Rei and the bridge XXV Abril. Taking into consideration some ongoing plans of the Almada Municipality, the aim of our project is the intervention on a part of this coast which is still without a certain destiny, in an attempt to combine a strong functional program with an attention to the historical and territorial features of this waterfront. (Thesis Project made in collaboration with Luca Luini) .7

The project redesigns, according to the slope, the entire valley, organizing the pathways in ramps and creating a series of decreasing green parterres that finish with an open air theatre.
Miradouro and elevator
The landscape quality of natural amphiteatre gave us the idea of designing an open-air theatre, an ideal place to organize musical, theatrical but also educational events. The theatre is an architectural mechanism to the contemplation of the Tejo, ith the skyline of Lisbon on the background.

The pathway
From the miradouro start a pathway that descend sweetly to the river level. This promenade is an alternative way which aims to propose a different reading of the landscape. The concrete pathways, according to the mountain, change many times the point of view, fro Lisbon to the bridge and the Quita de Arealva.
Main swimming pool entrance
The new intervention of water center, dialogue with the buildings of the Quinta, that dictate the scale of the entire intervention. The new construction face also a strong relationship with the mountain proposing a new lecture of the former containment wall present in that area.

The sport centre is organized in three areas. The first is an open Olympic swimming pool of 50 metres, The second area is a closed diving pool with a 10 metre platform for sport competitions. The third is a wellness center and spa that is situated in former warhouses of the Quinta da Arealva.
Open air swimming pool
The architectural aspect of the system is the creation of a sequence of closed and open spaces but with a permeabilty between them. In this sense every building has some architectural devicese that create this sense of enfilade on the central axes.

Riqualification Politeama Theatre Como, Italy
Prof. Arch. Cristina Pallini 2015-2016 The Politeama Theater (now abandoned) was a type of theater building designed to accommodate both daytime and evening shows of various kinds. We have decided to demolish only what is needed to implement our project, working more on the service spaces and keeping the iconic parts of the theater unaltered. Our new intervention does not want to mimic the state of fact, indeed, the addition of new materials and shapes create a virtuous juxtaposition between the old and the new, enhancing both sides. (Project made in collaboration with Luca Luini and Michele Antinori) .19
The most massive intervention is realized on the rooftop, where our project wants to create a new floor as addiction, creating new relations between the parts of the building and with the surroundings.

Cultural Complex Sermide, Italy
Prof. Arch. Fabrizio Schiaffonati (fabrizio.schiaffonati@polimi.it) Prof. Arch. Roberto Bolici Semester 1, 2011 A library and auditorium sit inside Sermide Park. Activities promote the natural environment of the park. The two programs are divided on two existing axes, highly used walking routes. With a variety of tree species inside the park, the architectural textures inside and outside mimic to blend and add to this natural richness. The veins texture cover the open air space and clad the simple form of the interior facility just as the branches of tree.
.25
The process of branching of the plant species is defined by an algorithm and by a logical sequence of elementary instructions in a predetermined order. Among all the sequences realized I picked the most interesting ones, allowing me to draw the forms for the library and the roof cover of the auditorium, which create a sequence of solids and voids.

Residential Complex Quistello, Italy
Prof. Arch. Elena Mussinelli (elena.mussinelli@polimi.it) Prof. Arch. Andrea Tartaglia Semester 2, 2010 A residential complex in a previous industrial area of Quistello revitalizes the local environment. Eleven buildings suspended by columns and shaped like stars sit across the long site. The ground level is an open air community space, while apartments, ranging from 1- 3 bedroom units, enjoy natural light and privacy from a formal solution inspired by Franco Albini’s “Social houses Incis, Milan 1950”. The outdoor first level adds richness to the surrounding context, continues and connects to the local paths and squares of the city. .31
