2007_undergraduate residence in the via Ovada, Milano - The Via Ovada area in Milan is subject to redevelopment where a student’s centre is planned. It will offer both day care services such as study rooms, a library and the internet as well as the possibility of temporary accommodation. The work looks for a relationship with the urban structure using the same orthogonal grid for distribution in the plan. In section, however, the space takes on an odulated sculptural form to achieve the objective, firstly, to close the gap between the road and the park and, secondly, to respond to students’ needs. The guesthouse building is located at the end of the public square so dividing the city and the park. / 2008 _development project for the public farmhouses in Milan There are many farmhouses situated on the outskirts of Milan, which are now incorporated into the urban structure, that retain their architectural characteristics. The purpose was to exploit the real estate in order to build a network of reception centres. In the project to develop the Garegnano farmhouse, object of our proposal, the two main points were to verify the exploitable district potential to insert our project harmoniously into the existing social fabric and the self-sustainability of the centre itself. In relation to the architectural structure we tried to maintain the courtyard structure of the farmhouse, which is very useful for the community./ 2008 _ museum and technological park in Portello area, Milan - This area of Milan is growing fast. Renewable energy is at the heart of the project that foresees a public park, a specific museum on this theme and a residential area. The subject area extends between Piazzale Accursio and a dual carriageway which divides the area from Mount Stella park. A specific feature are the existing historic buildings which we were explicitly required to maintain and upgrade. The exhibition building was designed like a large pavilion, which was the park’s entrance and reference point. The design of the park includes a large grassy area with a complex design around the pavilion and a path that passes by intermittent wooded areas leading to the road./ 2009_High density residential area, Shanghai - Hongkou, a district of Shanghai, currently appears as a high density slum. The city townhall plans to upgrade the area with a high density housing development of 300,000 square meters, which will also include 10% services. The idea was to reproduce the dynamics of the historical Shanghai’s residential neighbourhoods (the Lilong houses) in a high density complex. The main feature of these settlements is the gradual transition from public to semi-private spaces to those totally private. The project proposes a continuous open public space that winds between the different groups of buildings which are placed at a lower level in order to have a private area as a traditional garden. Public space is also situated under the ground floor, where services are present.

Thesis∙Master’sDegree 2009/2010
2010 _ Pilgrim’s reception centre and school of music, Jerusalem - The project is located in Jerusalem, within the Ottoman walls of the old city, near the New Gate. It hosts a school of music open to the local population and a reception centre for pilgrims, that consists in a museum that provides an introduction to visiting the sanctuaries and a demonstration lab of local handicrafts. Initially we had to deal with an undefined program, trying to understand the real needs of the monks and then adapt the construction volume accordingly. A second theme was the relationship with the context: We had to keep the existing building next to the street and many façades were. The building, according to the materiality of the city, is concieved as a single large stone that is dug obtaining a large introvert open space within which all public activities are carried out. Spaces dedicated to music are designed considering their acoustic needs. This has been enhanced through the use of explicit different language in shape as well as materials.

OtherWorks 2007/2009 2007 _ Exhibition “che cos’è la verità?”, Rimini 2009 _ Feleit - Hotel & Resort. Preliminary draft 2009 _ Milano - Bovisa. Urban design study Curriculum Vitae
2007_Exhibition “che cos’è la verità?”, Rimini - The exhibition starts describing the figure of Lev Tolstoj to get to explain the new contact point between fatih and culture, faith and reason, developed around the Optina’s monastery, an attraction point to the simple people and also to the intellectual one. The exhibition’s arrengement should consider the budget’s low rate and the labour of volunteers with lack of experience besides designing confortable and significant spaces. During the project process with a team of friends, we were tutored by an architect and often compared with electricians and carpenters. Once the project fase ended I contributed with the arrengement building itself./ 2009 _ Feleit - Hotel & Resort. Preliminary draft - The Feleit’s Hotel expansion presentes some clear design problems. First of all the hotel is located at the same level of a ski slope’s threshold and the acces road is pretty tight and steep. Moreover, the location is of high interest concerning the environment, besides its clear visability from the lower valley, which calls for a significant solution on the theme of landscape inclusion. The entrance level of the hotel is made of a stone slab, that disappears inside the mountain, featuring a wellness center and a seminar hall, upon wich is located a solarium and the entrance for the ski lane, besides a restaurant with a view to the valley. The upper floors containing the rooms are solved as two wood blocks linked by a glass joint that opens itself once again to the downstream./ 2009 _ Milano - Bovisa. Urban design study the preliminary draft, proposed by the Dutch firm OMA-Rem Koolhaas, was submitted by the principals of the area (mainly Politecnico di Milano) to EuroMilano, an engineering studio in Milan, in order to prepare a variant for the urban area. The project came to the study Arching Progetti Srl, as a consultant, regarding the architectural design. My role was to assist the design team and to producuce support graphic works that allows a more rapid understanding at all levels of interlocutors.
“CHE COS’È LA VERITÀ?” Exhibition, RIMINI 19-25 august
2007
La confusione che intorbida oggi le coscienze, le
La confusione che intorbida oggi le coscienze, le domande che lacerano l’uomo ed erompono in conflitti sociali e politici, sono state vissute con grande intensità anche dalla società russa nel trentennio precedente la rivoluzione del 1917. La mostra parte dalla figura di Lev Tolstoj, scrittore di fama mondiale, propugnatore di una religione laica ispirata al cristianesimo, ma decisa a prendere le distanze dalla persona storica di Cristo. Un primo superamento della posizione tolstoiana si verifica attraverso il nuovo incontro tra fede e cultura, tra fede e ragione avvenuto intorno all’eremo di Optina, polo d’attrazione sia per il popolo semplice, sia per gli intellettuali. Questa esperienza si traduce in un potente movimento di rinascita della Chiesa, che sfocia nel Concilio del 1917-1918 e genera la conversione alla fede di studiosi e uomini di cultura che fino a poco tempo prima avevano aderito con convinzione al marxismo.
