The design of the diffused housing at Monte Brè features modular structures clad in corten steel, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.

These modules are interconnected by eco-friendly pedestrian paths and include a planetarium and a restaurant, offering unique experiences. Each living capsule is equipped with skylights featuring patented thermal snow and anti-condensation glass, alongside insulation made from hemp fiber and hemp wood screeds. These green building materials ensure optimal thermal and hygrometric comfort.

The complex also includes seating areas with electrical outlets powered by solar panels, allowing guests to work or study in a connected environment. An electric bicycle station, powered by solar energy, encourages sustainable mobility. Overall, the development exemplifies responsible tourism and ecological innovation

Module as builder

Modular Brè

The entire complex is structured according to a modular rule, with private parts and buildings featuring a 3x3 generator module and a 4x4 module for reception and public buildings. All the capsules are elevated above the ground to create a direct corridor between the user and the view of the starry sky.

Modular School. Gallaratese District | Milan.

University Project | Politecnico di MIlano

The via Quarenghi school in the district Gallaratese in Milan is a modern architectural project that stands out for its attention to sustainability and flexibility.The use of the dry prefabricated module was chosen to ensure a low environmental impact during construction and greater adaptability of the building to the needs of users.

In addition, the module allows a speeding up construction time, reducing costs and improving improving the efficiency of the entire process. The architecture of the building is characterised by its essentiality and modernity, with particular attention integration with the surrounding urban context. The school in Via Quarenghi thus becomes an element of urban rebirth and regeneration, confirming its function as a pole of social and cultural aggregation. The internal spaces have been designed to ensure maximum maximum functionality and ergonomics, with a particular attention to natural light and air quality.

The school in Via Quarenghi represents an example of how contemporary architecture contemporary architecture can be sustainable, functional and aesthetically pleasing, responding to the needs of users and integrating harmoniously into the surrounding urban context. The project therefore proves to be an opportunity for innovation in the field of public building.

Module as Generator

The entire architectural construction is based and sized on the 7x7 module representing an ideal classroom for 25 students, the smaller modules have a distributive function, the larger ones represent the outstanding elements of the auditorium and school gymnasium.

In this axonometric exploded view we can observe the trapezoidal sheet metal roofs, they also allow, with their skylights, zenithal light to enter each of the 7x7 m modules that make up the entire complex with their own or lesser multiples and submultiples.

Trasversal Section

It is possible to see the various open and covered spaces, where the communal areas and those with a proper school function, both with their own skylights, are perfectly connected by the distribution modules.

Longitudinal Section

The modules of each individual class provide a primary source of light from the upper skylight and guarantee enough space to accommodate 25 pupils, and all classrooms overlook a semi-open inner courtyard.

Pedestrian Bridge at North Park . Bresso | Milan.

University Project | Politecnico di MIlano

This project reimagines the traditional pedestrian bridge, transforming it into an elevated observation platform that invites visitors to engage with the landscape from a unique vantage point. Located adjacent to Bresso Airport, this “non-bridge” transcends mere functionality, serving as a multifunctional space that enhances the natural surroundings.

The bridge’s design features a graceful arch, creating a sheltered area below that can function as an open-air theater. The spacious seating area, formed by the natural slope of the landscape, acts as a grandstand for audiences to enjoy performances, community events, or simply gather in a scenic setting.

The elevated platform provides panoramic views of the park and surrounding areas, encouraging visitors to connect with nature while enjoying artistic experiences. By merging architecture with public space, this project aims to foster community engagement, cultural appreciation, and a deeper connection to the environment.

BRIDGE or NO BRIDGE

Bridge or no bridge

This non-bridge bridge overlooks the north park giving through an upward ramp the whole landscape of Milan’s green lung and gives users an open-air theater under its load-bearing arch, the idea aims to foster community engagement, cultural appreciation, and a deeper connection to the environment.

Residential Building, inhabiting the margin. Fondo Fucile | Messina.

University Project | Politecnico di MIlano

In the preliminary development of our project, we first asked ourselves how we could restore life and dignity to an area infamous for urban and social decay. To do this we developed three “slats”, two of which are oriented parallel to the adjacent streets, and one slightly rotated by 15 degrees to simulate a collective and organic movement of the three residential ‘blocks’.

The residences are developed on three floors, each of which has an access balcony to the dwellings. As far as the floor plan of the residences is concerned, we have decided to develop the entire sequence of dwellings according to a precise module, that of the two-room residence, to which a further module is added to form the three-room floor plan.

This modularity allows us first of all to facilitate or suggest a possible future disassembly and reuse of our “steel frame” structure which, following the guidelines of the series modules, allows an easier prefabrication of the structural components.

Requests

Call for bids by the municipality of Messina to which we referred for the project called for the construction of residential buildings to accommodate approximately 500 people, with high thermal efficiency cotruct.

The three slats release two main streets that connect and cross all the aititative elements, the complex is an architectural design of a run-down area in the popular district of messina, Fondo fucile.

Context

As for the context, we are in the popular district of Fondo Fucile in Messina, it consists of an area with tin or dilapidated buildings in which hundreds of families are living illegally and endangering their sanitary conditions. For this there is a need for an immediate urban regeneration project.

Trasversal Section

Trasversal section evinces the compositional spaces of the three-storey building. the residential building consists of a 54 square metre module and a 34 square metre module. all the residential modules have the kitchen and living area facing south, appropriately screened by a wooden sunshade, and the entrances, which are arranged along the common gallery, opening onto the surrounding green areas.

Structure

Load-bearing structure of the entire complex is made of steel, being easily transportable and above all demountable and reusable in the event of decommissioning or relocation of the building. The infill walls are made of xlam and the wood used for the sunshades is reclaimed wood from nearby industries and construction sites. Finally, the insulation used consists of a paste of compressed and processed orange peels that provide adequate thermal resistance and an excellent ecological solution.
