DESCRIPTION The initial months were dedicated to the research on two different aspect. The first is the emergency response strategy and how the project can be inserted in it. The second is the construction technique: building scale 3D printing. The idea is that the printer can be shipped, assembled in place and can use the local materials.

DESCRIPTION The project is design to be built in loco with local materials and without a high energy consumption. The print tests show that the shape is printable and some ideas such as the implementation of wooden beams during the printing phase are actually possible. There is also the possibility to go further in the research and in the experimentation.

The idea that stands behind the project is to connect the public space and the weather. The first step was the analysis of the possible climate conditions to understand what weakness was improvable by the design. The understanding and the manipulation of the natural phenomena is the main tool of the design. For example furnitures can control the snow drift to create a play ground. The analysis are made using Ecotect, Grasshopper and Flow design.

FLOW DESIGN SIMULATION
DESCRIPTION Going deeper in the climate design every furniture was tested to understand the influence on the snow drift. The simulations helped to improve the design and to achieve the best results. The structure was imagined to be easy to built and easy to disassembly in case of maintenance. Using standard elements to reduce the price is always a goal.

The concept for the new Pavia's Sport centre is to create a building that could in the same time be a link for the university system, can create new green and active spaces for the neighbourhood and for the big university community. The "butterfly" shape is created by rotating the axis of the sport fields, to have a better sun exposition, from the original alignment with the old farmhouse.

DESCRIPTION To create the new connection with the engineering school the building is crossed by a cycle path that modify the different elements. The distribution idea is to have a public space also inside the building to allow the students to use the common spaces and to create a sense of community around the CUS ( University Sport Centre) activities. Every sport field is a box with separate changing rooms and services.

DETAILS AND EXPLODED VIEWS
DESCRIPTION The engineering solutions adopted have the aim to be as close as possible to the concept of the box. The load bearing structures are concrete walls surrounded by a technical roof with all the heavy amount of installations that a sports hall has. All the details are studied from the cycle bridge to the glass facade. There is also a study about the finishing material and the sun lightening.

The treatment works and the pre-existence will be renewed. The treatment enter in the building as a part of it.
The pre-existence remain in the same condition.
DESCRIPTION The concept is based on the idea to use tourism as a regenerator engine for some Italian rural areas. The self sustainable shelter can be easily moved and thank to its shape can be adapted to every context. Different modules can be attached together to form various combination of functions. Solar panels and a recycling water system are the installations for the self sustainability.
The treatment can move in another place.

DESCRIPTION The shelter can be positioned in different ways: can stand alone, coupled or can be attached to the ruin. The materials are: wood for the structure and the interior finishing, metal corrugated sheet plus solar panels for the exterior surfaces. Everything is modular and can be closed to have a bigger inner space an for the transport.

The optional The ISOFIX (ISO 13216) is an attachment system for child safety seats. Using it in combination with the car safety belt can improve the security of the wheelchair in the car-seat configuration. There is also the possibility to install a supplementary safety belt on the wheelchair seat.
The backrest gives a lumbar support as the most of the sport wheelchair but at the same time gives action freedom during all the configurations.
PARALLEL jump
DESCRIPTION Designed for the 2015 James Dyson Award and selected in the ITALIAN FINALISTS. The idea is to solve the problem of the difficult approach for disabled people to cars avoiding dangerous and heavy action or customization of the vehicle. The innovative structure of the wheel allows to fold it under the seat without disassemble anything.
The casters balanced the wheelchair giving a bigger footprint contrasting the weights both of the user and of the wheelchair seat. The central spring bending supports the wheelchair seat and keep it outdistanced from the parallelogram. In that space the external wheel will be packaged.

The pushrim allow the users to manage the wheelchair during the approach operation to the car.
The handles give security and stability to the user to prepare himself to do the transfer in the car.
The parallelogram follows the overbalance movement of the user and impresses the parallel rotation to the wheel.
The handles help the user to package the external wheel in-between the seats. The sliding rail is in the central spoke.
5 The casters packaging The casters are pushed on a rail in-between the wheels during the folding sequences.
