Who I am
Always inclined to observe and experiment, I tackle all the challenges and opportunities presented to me with great passion, dedication and spirit of adventure. Whether I need to think about abstract concepts or apply ideas to something concrete I try to give my best, always welcoming and appreciating the contributions of others in group experiences with great interest. I adopt as much as possible a purposeful and creative spirit on every occasion, day after day.

Un caffè a Padova Public building in Padova’s city center
An architectural element conceived as a raw concrete sheet that folds and cuts itself; adapts to the context and the functional needs, find a contact with the three building that became as a result no more isolated entities but, instead, a unified organism.

Club sportif Kayak facilities in Liège
A complex context given by an artificial island close to many other impacting anthropic interventions. What strategy should we adopt to find an immersion in the otherwise lush surrounding nature? First of all sinuous forms and intrusion of topography in interior spaces.

The Limit Restoration of the Rovigo’s Former Psichiatric Hospital
Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub; It is the center hole that makes it useful. Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that makes it useful. Cut doors and windows for a room; It is the holes which make it useful. Therefore profit comes from what is there; Usefulness from what is not there. Tao Te Ching - Lao Tzu

Explore the potential of mobile mechanisms. An exercise in restraint, one where revolving elements generate a flexible space that reacts to the seasonal changes, adapts to user requirements, and remains empty as a precious object in the middle of the architecture.
