GORLA Student Housing

DESIGN STUDIO Professors: Stefano Guidarini, Caterina Bassoli

TEAM WORK With: Valentina Albertini and Filippo Rispoli

The municipal market of Gorla is located at the crossroad between viale Monza and via Monte San Gabriele and at few meters from the M1 metro stop “Gorla”. In addition to excellent accessibility, the area in which it is located is very close to the Martesana canal and has the right balance between commercial and residential activities. The building, currently in disuse and in a dilapidated state, is spread over a plot of 970sqm and, arranged on one floor, with its low volume it generates a point of discontinuity in the urban fabric. Our project consists of the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new building with the aim of transforming this corner lot into a new central point along the axis of Viale Monza. The new project is a building that stands out completely in relation to the sur-

rounding urban context and which is characterized by spaces for public use on the ground floor and for private use on the upper floors. In fact, around the central courtyard on the ground floor there is a cafeteria, a multipurpose space and a library that also extends to a portion of the first floor. From the next level onwards the building passes to a strictly residential function, hosting a student residence consisting of single rooms and common spaces.

Automated Warehouse + Temporary Housing DESIGN STUDIO Professors: Giancarlo Floridi, Zachary Mark Jones, Angelo Raffaele Lunati

TEAM WORK With: Nathaly Michelle Rodriguez Torres and Ada Rosito

Quai de l‘Industrie is part of the non-fashionable north area of Brussels, characterised by the problem of the sem-industrial urban voids that Jane Jacobs defined, in the 60‘s, the curse of the vacuum borders. Usually, in these cases the urban design topic becames how to activate the space. However, there are some situations where to active the space providing a specific function is not enough, in particular in an area where the lack of a visual order is really evident. This leads us to think about an high rise building, an object alone in the area , that doesn‘t pretend to rebuilt the unity of the canal side, but it tries to give a visual order in the neighborhood in a vertical way. The building doesn‘t follow the street axis to have a relation with the railway and with the street in terms of visuality: arriving from the two points of view, the visual perception

of the building is always frontal. The shape of the building reminds the world of the industrial buildings - external vertical connections due to optimaze space, a facade composition order given by simple construction materials -without being strictly related to it. In this way, we want to shift the cultural form of the production to a multi purpose building, where the inner functions - an automated warehouse and temporary housing - are not declared in facade. This leads to the stress between the tipology and the external morphology: but also between the functions inside, with the residences that are affected by the presence of a rigid functional core. The final result is an atmosphere of contrast between a domestic and a huge, hostile space.

THE SLIDER

Temporary Living

INTERIOR STUDIO Professors: Stefania Varvaro, Luca Alberto Piterà

TEAM WORK With: Sara Alinovi and Giovanni Ballarani

The project name, The Slider, has a twofold meaning: on one hand it refers to the constructive system, which consists of innovative sandwich panels that literally slide between the struts. This entails a very fast and easy assemblage of handable elements that can provide a wide range of solutions, according to the specific design needs, like the topography or the users requirements. On the other hand, slide is the movement that the atoms of the project - the modules - imaginarily do to create different configurations. These configurations can be re-invented everytime giving birdth to hybrid spaces where connectivity and a slight shift from private and public is triggered. In fact, the overall project has been thought to host leisure experiences of different nature, from cultural events and festival to workshops or holidays accomoda-

tions. Therefore, the people coming to the place, independently from age, sex and background, would share the same willing, excitement and interest in living this place. The cluster is then arranged so as to welcome the sharing of spaces of everyday routine (such as the kitchen, dining room, the buffer zones and the rooftop terraces), but guaranteeing at the same time the possibility of finding a private and introvert spot in the bedrooms. Not only the interaction between the aggregate citizens is welcome, but also the contact with locals that can access to some completely public areas (such as the bar and the ground floor terrace). The Slider is a project that can manage to be mount and dismount always reaching a vibrant outcome of domesticity and publicness.

Museum of Materials ARCHITECTURE STUDIO Professors: Roman Brychta

TEAM WORK With: Adam Kocík, Matěj Peterka and Hanka Turnovská

The proposal is focused on creating a connection between the old industrial structures of the area and the new buildings of the @22 district in Barcelona. The project of a museum of materials opens this dialogue and communicates with this two worlds also trough the open spaces, recovering the original proposal of the plan by Ildefons Cerdà, which aim was to take advantage of the stunning sunlight of Barcelona, the fesh air and the creation of new pathways for pedestrians. The sculptural behavior of the building provides, together with the main concept, a new exhibition experience which investigate the essence of the material in its plurality of forms. All starts with the natural creation of materials, from earth and rocks, generating metal ions, stone but also

sand, clay or soils. The action of man then brings materials to a new phase, through the use of fire and water, moulding clay, creating concrete, burning bricks, benging metal and shaping glass. Man also takes advantage of new technologies to create new materials, a new artificial matter, like plastic. People can choose to move in and out, in a spiral, through the towers of materials, or to climb each tower from the inside, to investigate each material's generation, story and all the varieties at the top, in the libraries; then people can approach lectures, seminars, workshops and exchange ideas with each other.

Analyze On top of each tower, get lost in a vertical library with a range of all the possible varieties.

Watch Observe the game the light plays on the facades and learn about the creation of materials by watching different projections.

Perceive Get surrounded by the evolving material, touch it, climb it or lay on it.

Ground Floor plan - original scale 1:1000

Lectures Follow seminars and lectures in the space between the towers. The same space can be easily adapted to temporary exhibitions.

Create Freespace on the top floor consisting of terraces and spaces between the towers, furnished with basic equipment for exploring the work with different materials.

The space is welcoming a mix of tourists, designers and locals who can inspire each other and from which one can enter the material libraries.

Meet, Perform

opened public hall serving as a meeting point, cafè and a passage on a normal day, or a place for different cultural events during the nights.
