Objective Since having graduated and following my experience as freelance and junior architect in several offices in Italy and the Netherlands, I feel ready to improve my skills as architect. I think that having the opportunity to be a part of your studio could teach me to push my abilities and fuel the great enthusiasm I have toward Architectural Design.

Abstract An Infrastructure embodying housing and park is inserted in the expansion plan of the Houthaven district. The strategy I adopted makes the project grow together with the rest of the district, this idea allows not to build more than what is necessary and to use spaces before the conclusive shape is realized. This process defines a changeable landscape that reaches its saturation over the time, public space regulates the growth of private ones, acting like a motherboard with its plugin devices.
2020
Two kind of residences are defined, fixed and floating, on one hand defined by standards and on the other hand by the user himself following the principle of Do it Yourself; in this case instead of make housing it’s possible to make homing, because homes will be moved directly in their own location after buyer’s configuration, choosing what best matches his needs from a catalogue. User’s choice could ideally make possible an architecture without architects, a fter the subdivision of the development takes place the variety of possibilities for houses can also be endless, my thesis intends to show just one of the infinite configurations possible.

Abstract A library inside a convent reduced to ruin during the 2nd World War bombings. InTheBox takes shape conceptualizing the faรงade of the almost intact adjacent church that can be seen as a container of the church itself, so like a mathematic proportion, the project try to reinterpret the old destroyed cloister suggesting and exsasperating its volume, now enclosed and enclosing the wasted walls. The result is an interesting mixture of old and new elements inside a mystery box.

Abstract A disused school in the centre of Pesaro becomes an apartment building with offices and stores. The building at present appears as a crambling huge volume, without any architectural value, in addition to this, typologically, it doesn’t fit for the assignment. The project avoids any “extraordinary lifesaving measures�: The construction is demolished, and in its place a steel structure retraces the old volume. The school is now just a skeleton of beams and columns, a support for mudular elements to plug-in as tesseras in a never ending growing mosaic. The structure is conceived as a fixed element for a flexible Architecture. Users can take advantage of a list of functions, materials and spatial solutions, producing complexity from standards and configurating modules before the realization. This strategies have been conceived for this specific lot, but is suitable for every other place. Open spaces in the courtyard define a public piazza, shaped on several levels exploiting the leaning of the site, generating sits, green spaces and ramps, that appear texturized in heterogeneous way confirming the same strategy applied for the habitable mudules.

Abstract A village for artists in the centre of Senigallia. The site, placed between the inner city and the seafront, represents a huge empty space. A serious caesura defined by the station and two disused preexistences (A building for offices and an hotel) determines neglected area, destined to a potentially widespread necrosis. The project tries to exploits latent potentialities of the site raising it as core of the city. Design strategy cenceives the hotel as composed by modular elements, once exploded, these elements scatter, producing a regulated mess and open a new way to the sea. As the only symmetrical component in the project, the hotel becomes a new landmark and a monument. Public open spaces confirm and deny the design strategy, being bidimensional and orderly counterpart of the same extruded modules: A Supersurface that configures the growth of the project.

Abstract An Agricultural Park for Folignano. The site is a 5 hectars green area crossed by a stream at the foot of the urban centre. The project is the result of the overlay of a grid that as a screen activates pixels made by fields and microarchitectures leaving people free to configurate the place as they wish.
The grid owns its connections to the city providing cycle and pedestrian paths and spaces for events, it melts next to the water leaving space for eventual floodings.

Abstract Molfetta has a seafront worthy of the name. To the east (levanter) the road mixes the car traffic with the promenade and to the west the harbour basin almost forgets the complex mesh of its layers of use and its relationship with the productive urban pattern, residential and tourist. In the middle of an inner city that needs to be revaluate, that reflects on the sea its image of marginalization in consideration of the neighboring sprawl. The contest requires the elaboration of an urban project of regeneration which, starting from the sea, will be able to renew the face and the dynamics of the city.
A process indeed. Not an intervention that would fix, once and for all, the image of the city to the horizon, rather a system of scheduled actions that over time will be able to build the reasons for a renewal of spaces and uses a substantial proportion and significance of city. Here is an articulated system of substructures which stretch the public space towards the sea like an archeological sign on which eroded plans and inhabited cavities work. The urban space alludes to the one of a city extorted to the water through the accumulation of rock materials arranged to protection of the waves.
An implant made of boulders (those used to build the docks) with an archaeological memory even preceding the foundation of the Norman town, which seems to re- emerge with the swell of the tides. A “forma urbis� similar, for the conceptual dominant, to a settlement of sea dwellers returning to the shore by observing the phases of the moon. It’s like a city of the past had been discovered at the site of the project and therefore spaces for different activities such as chalets for bathers, solarium and catering services allow themselves to be discovered through a set of masses, arising where it is needed, or left free to define the functional areas as large open rooms to the horizon and covered by sky.

Abstract The space in front of the former Diamant Beurs of Amsterdam will become a terrace for a creative hub. In the works of PolyLester time often comes to a stop. Like a frozen moment, movement is caught and captured. We are invited to interact and observe a three dimensional momentum. The peel mimics such a gesture, as it suggest the surface of a deck in the act of being torn off. Next to the gesture of stopping time, Lester’s works often allude to the cinematographic, where traditionally scenes and shots are cut, spliced and connected from strips of celluloid. These strips of cinema could be understood as the peel running of the reel of film.
Combining the notion of time caught in the act and cinema’s scenes rolling off a movie spool. The Peels constitute the Dna of the project, each one assumes its own function according to the needs of the moment defining a constantly changeable place, where users can eat, drink, enjoy an artist performance or simply relax.

Abstract The UID adds an interactive square to the heart of the Arenapoort area. A space with a recognizable identity. The main square forms the core of UID, an active spot within the built ensemble. An urban lobby for the Arena area. The square does not stop at the facade but interacts with the lively programming within the shell of the buildings. The floor of the main square is characterized by the special design of durable materials, added with interactive tree poles.
We create three spaces within the heart of UID. All equal in materialization but diverse in spatiality. In this way we distinguish the main square, the entrance towards the boulevard and the active intermediate road towards the south.

Abstract A park for the Smakkelaarsveld area in Utrecht The design turns Smakkelaarsveld into a green oasis, a new public garden in the heart of Utrecht. A serene place in contrast to the chaotic city. A place to meet, to stay and discover. Healthy and nature inclusive. The intimate public garden continues in the urban glasshouse that connects to the new houses with lush rooftop gardens.The park shapes itself strategically in order to be visually connected to the buildings, the canal and the surrounding, at the same time height variations define a border that through higher trees helps to low down the noise at the edge of the roads. Buildings and park are conceived as a machine to improve nature inclusivity and health of the users.

Abstract Monkey Factor is a design attitude that comes from the desire to make humans part of a larger ecological system and architecture is an instrument to realize it. The coexistence between people and wildlife is always an area of conflict. But at the same time the presence of free animals inside the urban territory increases the level of biodiversity and unpredictability of the system and forces it to slow down or, on the contrary, accelerate.
It re- writes the relationships between animals and humans, living beings and the constructed world, nature and man.
