Selected Projects 2011 | 2015
Objective In a few years I will be one of the architects for every 414 Italians, I’m doing my best to learn as much as possible so that I can become good enough to live working as architect in my country and in any other place in the world. I think that an environment such as the one of your studio can teach me to push the limits of my abilities, and fuel the great enthusiasm I have toward Architecture Design.

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 An ephemeral set-up for an exhibition about the ephemeral inside a disused disco. The chosen theme for the project is the dream, the exhibit is conceived as a sensory-mental itinerary from the falling asleep to the waking up suggested by a progressive increasing of light intensity. The developed system insinuates in the hosting building making it unrecognizible but traces the existing corridors and rooms, leaving in whom has visited these spaces as a disco, the impression to have already been there.

Professor Pippo Ciorra Architectural Design studio 03 | 2014 - 07 | 2014
Abstract An Extruded triangle reflecting on water for a World Pavilion at Venice Biennale. The building that at first glance seems to be an introverted Architecture owns a latent perceptive relation with the context, defined subtracting from the volume the optical cones of the main views (from the inside to outside and vice versa), other subtractions are identified by the interior paths. The faรงade represents a sort of hoxymoron, trying to obtain light permeability through a material that is matt by definition that is concrete (iLight).

Professor C.Toraldo di Francia Architectural Design Workshop BachelorThesis 03 | 2013 - 06 | 2013
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.

Mess is More Programme Housing Events Exhibition Location Senigallia, Italy
05. Team Alessia Concetti Gianluca Lattanzi
Professor Emanuele Marcotullio Urban Design Studio 10 | 2011 - 02 | 2012
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.

06. Team Federica Bini Alessia Concetti Gianluca Lattanzi
Professor Luigi Coccia Architecture Design Studio 10 | 2012 - 02 | 2013
Abstract A stone shaped sea terminal that forms a whole togeter with the city and the sea. Morphologically, the building complex is composed by two cores , linked by a raised path. The shape of the terminal is suggested by the little, white, flat stones of the Adriatic beaches. As rocks placed on a low water layer, buildings partly absorbed by concrete, produce waves from wich trees grow. Therefore, the natural element becomes artificial and is proposed in a larger scale, where the infrastructure can cut, subtract and model, making it accessible to cars and pedestrians, on different paths that sometimes find promiscuity areas.

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 and provides 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. An “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.
