“Exhibit the void” 2022-23
A proposal for the exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Codex Trivulzianus” within the Sforzesco Castle. @Italy, Lombardy, Milan
Master thesis prof: De Curtis Annalisa (annalisa.decurtis@polimi.it)
GROUP WORK: Cammilli Leo Maggiore Gloria
The theme of the project is to highlight Leonardo Da Vinci’s Codex trivulzianus through an exhibition. The requests were to develop two exhibition spaces, one permanent and one containing a temporary exhibition, and to reorganize the external space of the castle side. The protagonist on which the polarity of the distribution is grafted around the Ravellino, inside which the Codex exhibition is set up. On the ground level is shown the reorganization of the space through a triangular square, which wraps the two sides of the castle. Underground there is developed the temporary exhibition, whose supporting columns actually work as vases for the pre-existing trees.

7 _axonometry, groundfloor view_
These two axonometries show the overall views of the project. On the ground floor, a green space was designed that could be for public use. The previous garden was extended so as to expand the boundaries of this space, thus directly accessible from the street, free of both physical and visual barriers. To demarcate the entrance, however, a system of water-filled canals was designed to serve as a physical boundary and delimitation between the green space and the upper plaza space. Three skylights are positioned inside the plaza, from which the museum space below can be observed.

9 _interior view n.2_
The main concept of the project generated from a reasoning dealing with the element of the tree: how could we enlighten and encapsulate this natural element, being so powerful, inside an human-made artifact?
Thus, the first sketch and then the further developments, gravitating around the idea of “enveloping” the tree within a column, turning it itself into an architectural element. So, the file rouge of the project came out to be strongly based on this concept, where “nature was sustaining architecture”.

The internal space of the Ravellino is exploited to locate the Codex exhibition, placed in a mobile structure that is grafted inside one of the vaults. Specifically, the problem to be solved was that of making the heirloom (which has the dimensions of a small book) visible through a system that would magnify its vision. To this end, the structure was developed to act as a reflecting telescope: the external light passes through a lens and is then reflected in a concave mirrored surface, which then enlarges the image of the book on the surface above; the latter mirrors the view making the text readable to the user.

GROUP WORK: Licciardi Gabriele Longo Lorenzo Maggiore Gloria Matamoros Cedillo Pamela Nicole Peichun Jiang Zhang Zhiyuan
The project is located in the “Pantanello” area. The request was to develop a spa to revalue a selected area of the villa, thinking about a certain clientele to be satisfied. The project includes a larger scale study of a “buffer zone”, an area to be re-evaluated in the north of the villa, where it was developed a sensory and olfactory path including various flower essences, of which are offered visions of atmosphere in the following page.

The purely architectural project includes instead the realization of some volumes used for thermal use, which are arranged polarly with respect to the counterparts constituted by the Greek theater and the nearby rectangular volume with columns, internally. The architectural polarity rotates around the circular volume, the pivot of the whole arrangement, from which two main axes start, crossing it in diameter, both vertically and transversally. On its north side continues an axis that leads to the second thermal volume, with a more triangular shape. This volume is the most formally complex, and includes 4 baths in total. To the east of the circular volume is the function of refreshment.

A proposal of public spaces for affordable housing @Italy, Milan, Gratosoglio
Academic project; Architecture of interiors design studio prof: Leoni Francesco (francesco1.leoni@polimi.it) Briata Paola Giuseppina (paola.briata@polimi.it)
GROUP WORK: Huang Xiancong Maggiore Gloria Viola Letizia Xing Hua Zhenxing
The project takes place in the area of Gratosoglio, one of the major outskirt area in the south of Milan. At first occurred an analysis of the area considering its past development and its nowadays condition. The second step was to analyze the urban layers composing the neighborhood, to better develop an adaptive proposal. The third step was about the project itself, based on a system of axis: a first transversal axis on the north side, leading from the street to the space of the church; perpendicular to it are two minor axes that give a regular layout to the plant; regularity that is then broken by a last diagonal axis that crosses the entire Nameless square. At the end of each axis is located a square. The architectural polarity pivots precisely on the Nameless square, central focus of the project and device center.

The project focuses on the redevelopment of the “Mars neighbourhood”, which presents a complex scenario and is left to abandonment. The idea was to configure a large walkway that could connects all the buildings of the lot, in order to create a “polar” meeting point that could turn into a social square At the level of the walkway, which is located at 9.20 m from the ground, there are all the social-oriented functions; on the ground floor there are, in addition to the access floor, the rooms of the co-housing and student residences. The choice of placing them at the bottom was taken because this type of environment was considered more “dynamic”, therefore with the need to be in the immediate vicinity of the groundfloorunlike the floors of traditional residences,

positioned in the upper part of the buildings, to maintain a more “intimate” sphere for the residents who live and will live there.
At the walkway level, which divides the buildings in two distinct portions, is a double height environment: this choice was made to strongly underline the presence of these environments.
The plan is configured as a crossroads of avenues, which takes up the regular movements given by the existing buildings. Transversally, a wide avenue, thought as a walk among the smells and scents of flowers, visually leads the user towards the former industrial shed in front of the lot, where urban gardens are going to be placed.
Transversely there are two avenues, respectively pedestrian and for bicycles, immersed in the arboreal vegetation; this is to create a seasonal “promenade”, which enhances both the aesthetic and the sensitive aspects of the place. These two trajectories indicate the path to the other lot, located above.
The buildings have been redesigned to host a double height space corresponding to the suspended platform level, in order to have a common hierarchy working as a social/ communal space for the residents.

_exploded axonometry showing the walkway_
The walkway is structured with a truss beam system, to make the structure as light and free as possible. Residents can meet along this platform, where they will find community services, including libraries, cafeterias, and sports spaces.
The platform is accessible from the ground via a monolithic ladder, suspended by steel cables.

A proposal for the design of bivouacs @Italy, Lecco (Resegone mountain)
Academic project; Final design studio
prof: Zanni Fabrizio (fabrizio.zanni@polimi.it) Boffino Massimo (massimo.boffino@polimi.it)
GROUP WORK: Maggiore Gloria Manio Paolo Marca Beatrice Marzagora
The project deals with the design of a system of bivouacs located on the side of Mount Resegone in Lecco. It is developed by placing the element of the elevator as the backbone and polar point of the distribution of volumes along the high, going to scan the scene in two portions. On several levels the bivouacs are located, developed in three different sizes according to the number of users. The project also foresaw the development of a volume used as a hotel/refuge (of which the external volume is shown).
In terms of landscape, the proposal was to reorganize the plan at the foot of the mountain following the theme of the “quarry”, here developed on different levels in

order to create a path; the entrance from the street side leads inside an interactive park that presents a small mountain on the right; this extrusion has been notched with a climbing structure for children, in order to configure a small adventure path. In the lower part there are two pools of water, the result of an excavation: to resume the main theme, the stone blocks removed from the pools have been reused to create a play path for children, which continues the previously mentioned adventure path.

A proposal for a series of furnitures for a client. @Italy, Milan, Lombardy
Internship project; tutor: Panìco Giacomo (giapan2004@hotmail.it)
The project deals with the design of a series of furnitures for a specific client. Here are some views of the proposals shown to the client.
Here are shown two different solutions for the living room. In the first one, the client requested to have a tall furniture that could envelope the living, working as a wall unit, comprehending shelves and a bench, accompanied with a wooden table. On the secondary option, the client requested to have only two shelves that could work as a filter, dividing the living from the entrance to the apartment.
