London Mo‌bius Tech-a
Thesis project for Master’s Degree The architectural exercise has the purpose to work both at an global and territorial scale, defining a system able to connect and characterize the waterfront of Southwark in London, both at the architectural scale, with a public library which finds its reasons in the context, critically interpreting the surroundings and together being part of the system at the larger scale. The reading and description of the city and on the historical traces was conditioned by the suggestion of a broadening of the Thames River and of the subsequent definition of a system that occupies extensively all residual open spaces of the waterfront. The system is made up of a longitudinal linking element, some transverse structural elements and some anchorage on the river, responding to the different spatial condition of the waterfront. The architectural elements fits in this system becoming itself a structural linking device, starting from the regulative form of the bridge and the spiral. The library components are a technological wall, containing and generating knowledge, and an open cube with a descendant spiral, linked to rooms and facilities, sustained by a set of giant order pillars.

Divine Comedy
Ex tempore for Second Master Design Studio The architectural challenge asks for a stanza ( 9mt. x 9mt.) dedicated to the Divine Comedy. After a preparatory work on the Danteum relized by Giuseppe Terragni, the project provides a room divided into three situatons: the first is a dark, compressed and anguish space to portray the hell, through a steep staircase created on the Sezione Aurea (purgatory) you can reach the heaven, a lightweight platform made of mirror suspended by 33 metallic tie-rod.
DE OTIO | Ab aqva crescere Piranesi Prix de Rome - 1st Prize
The project arises from the Latin philosophical concept of otio, meant as the aesthetic contemplation of nature and archaeology. The main purpose of the project is to build a new cultural connection, a complex system in which an exhibition and thermal pavilion and a monumental fountain work together at a larger scale, rendering a both composite and impalpable space in a mixture of architecture, nature and archaeology inside Villa Adriana. The pavilion structures itself with geometrical volumes linked by a continuous stand and by a crowning element which reacts to the sequence of built spaces that are crossing and carving it.

Osmotic Memory
Project for First Master Design Studio In the first studying phase the memory of places was considered a crucial element, then identifying the stable contextual elements and defining an orthogonal matrix in order to generate alignments and connections towards the city inside a strongly introverted area. At the beginning the closing wall is an insurmountable element: in the project it should become thicker and able to change and reflect the different condition of the city. It should be able to connect the inside with the outside though a dynamic - osmotic - balance between residential and industrial fabric, between the new agricultural space and the city, between memory and new perspectives. The former train path was identified as a variation component and used as new linking passage along the area. Along the borders, different buildings regulate the relationship with the outside.

Assonometric view
Inside the area, some “rooms� were defined, separated through physical limits (new buildings, new ecoforest), and connected through metabolic paths at different levels. The former slaughter building, in the South part of the area, is the core of the project. It becomes part of the osmotic border as an exhibition hall, working together with a new building, the market, and with the great square, which opens up the area to the people and to the city.

New linking borders between art, housing and green spaces
Project for Gardens of Culture in Porta Genova workshop The workshop experience, between design exercise and theoretical contributes (lectures of Franco Purini, Vittorio Gregotti, Mauro Galantino, Roberto Spagnolo), addressed the transformation area of Porta Genova train station in Milan. The description of the “physical and cultural” environment of the city and the critical interpretation of the context had a fundamental part in the definition of the architectural system. The project, pointing at “exhibit - inhabit - communicate”, organize itself starting from the great central void of the green space as relational space, then defining its borders: the train station becomes part of a the XXI century Arts Museum; the closing wall at the South of the area becomes thicker and hosts students housing; the backside of buildings facing the station area renovates with the definition of new public “redent” for studying, culture and free time.

Z-SHAPE STUDIO
Project for Third Design Studio In the complex and conflicting setting of an industrial and logistics cluster on demise, closely linked with an “urbanized countryside� and the strong sign of the river infrastructure, the design exercise has the aim to define a new identity and a new meaning for the area at a territorial and architectural scale. The description of places and of the urban textures and the subsequent comprehension and identification of the main elements of the built space, open space and relational space were the starting point for the design phase. At the territorial and urban scale, there is a new configuration of the complex open space system, defining a technological and cultural path able to connect the city from the mountain to the river, identifying two architectural elements as polar cores. At the architectural scale, the definition of a passing-through system at different heights levels, inside an existing backyard, in which secret gardens, exhibition spaces and study and research areas come one after the other.

Paintings Realized with different materials on wood and canvas. Lover of gold leaf and paint that give a dense and voluminous texture, experimentation with new materials such as plastics and resins but also use flowers and primary materials such as salt.
