My Philosophy: Being architecture made for people, in my projects I always search for the right balance between architecture that reflects the changing society and architecture that can preserve the important cultural and human values for the upcoming generations. I don’t believe in the perfect form, neither in the perfect function, I believe in people recognising themselves in architecture, there fore my design methodology stays always sensible to anthropological and cultural heritage analysis. In my approach I prefer the light gestures that could lead to major impact. My architecture accept time and dynamics as an ally not as an enemy, my architecture is not perfect, my architecture present itself as my best current view, but waits and accepts the changes of time and people. I love working with nature and specially with water, I find my inspiration in the variety of sessions, climates, lights and darks. My passion is to find a symbiosis between human-made and natural, not simply trough biomimicry, but trough the right integration of natural and artificial elements that together become one, or characterize one unique picturesque scenario.

About me: Born in Bulgaria, moved to Italy in 2002, grow up in a family of builders, I’ve been dealing with construction and architecture since the age of 16. Graduated from technical high school for builders, I studied 1 year of construction engineering for then move to Architecture. I consider myself a hard worker, when I’m involved with something I put my 1000% in it. My current interests/research topics in the field are: Public Space and Social Relations, Architecture and Natural Disasters, Sport Infrastructures, Water and Landscaping. 3

Pavilion or a Terraced Housing? ...Maybe Both!? The design task was to obtain a residence for 2 students starting from a defined square footprint of 6x6 meters. The project begins from the idea of having an “object” that could interact with different kinds of environments, adapting both to a single standing case, or a roll arrangement. Inspired by the typical bulgarian mountain houses, the first floor (made of wood) is enlarged. The enlargement leads to two simple gestures that modify the box, giving the possibility to be attached to the wire by a side array. The roof terrace becomes an important social space in a “wire” case, allowing students to interact on different privacy levels.

Free space, No! Tree space!! Inside the old town of Mantua, surrounded by a typical court-yard buildings, takes the idea of a closed community as the starting point of an open and closed urban space, not a junk space, tree space, not public, (maybe sometimes) but not completely private! The tree space is composed by one tree surrounded by one linear block and one L, connected by a bridge that works as a threshold, leaves the open floor free for a clear dialogue with the open square of the Church. The tree in the centre of a geometrical rectangular lawn gains strength from the free space and the edge of the court. Stands alone, like a monument without a pedestal, representing knowledge, leaving the students get underneath and touch it. In between the roots of the tree is where the library and the study rooms are hiden...

The project begins with the simple questions that could help to understand the distinction and the characteristics of a coliving lifestyle. The conceptual idea of the proposal is that the successful community living is based not on common but on differences and variety. Profession, gender, culture, age, social groups,... everything needed in order to survive as a self completing group. A mix between variety and order should becomes a goal, where the Co-house is stable core, while the private houses undergo through personalization and changes. The co-house is the central meeting place, while the private houses spread like a village around, separated. The south east facade of the co-house, included in the bachelor thesis was designed through a parametric algorithm that defined the high and dimensions of the openings according to the depth and light needs of the inner spaces.

The idea of the project is to find an innovative way (but also a technology) that could change the traditional housing. Instead of adopting a linear single block, a 25x12m fragments are settled along the street, being rotated around making room for stairs, leaving gap for natural ventilation, and giving to the blocks a sense of movement or “Crawling”. The high of the fragments decreases towards the open lands, providing not only with open terraces and views, but also thermal homogeneity. Because of its orientation, the two facades react in a different way, remaining more compact and closed on north, while more open and “outgoing” on south towards the inner orchards. All the detailed connections were designed until reaching the 1:10 scale, while all the materials and the construction costs were calculated and estimated.

Re-design of a tower facade! The workshop was having as a goal the collection of proposals for the change or renewal of the existing facade of the tower. Sustainability, as well as the new image of the company were some of the key issues. For the design, a rhomboid pattern was adopted, that could define the thermal zones with respect to the exposition of the facade. The New cladding comes to define a new relation between the tower and the ground level, growing slowly form the ground an dissolving in the sky. The several panel typologies, gives the flexibility to integrate wind turbines, solar cells and/or shadings. According to the orientation and the solar irradiance, the panels were having solar panels, soil (green) panels or a ventilated louvre panels with a double facade gap.

Could an ex-industial zone, become a leisure centre?... The project located at the east border of Milan, takes the “genius loci” of the raw concrete and painted steel surfaces as the reference point for a relaxing and attractive spot. The Grid, coming from the design of the masterplan, defines an array of volumes that together constitute a healthy system. The volumes literally become a grid, a pattern, rooted with the landscape. The surrounding vegetation is growing out from the grid, its regular, un-natural,... “geometrical”. The sport centre stands as an attractor at the worse location of the masterplan (next to the highway) and defines the upper border transforming the pattern into a well functioning leisure Factory.

“3 in 1”, takes simply the idea of 1 courtyard system divided into 3 environments, 3 different moods, 3 different functions that work together or independently to satisfy the needs of the neighbourhood. 1 Public place, a playground, an open event space, a hearth of the system, a “heArtCourt”! 1 Oasis, a green island surrounded by buildings, a “ParCourt”! 1 urban farm, that organizes and fix property and private orchards, with a clear and simple pattern layout, an “AgriCourtyard”! All three together constitute a system of functions and places that can work together or separately for everyday or special events. All three are studied in order to allow the controlled sharing of the inner spaces so that both the residents and the city could benefit.

Porto di mare = Deck of the sea What if the sea is nature, and deck is the city, this would bring to the design of a border i.e. seafront! The location requires the definition of an edge in order to avoid future sprawl and illegal developments. The PGT defines a strategical development, functions and GFA. The design of the masteplan takes into account all the urbanistic rules and applies them, with the addition of a small residential neighbourhood important for the financial investment. The idea is to create a border that could separate and unite in the same time, a border that could let the green waves touch and invade the city. A “serpentine” line that wires up the landscape from the city ‘till the south park.

What is a marketplace, why it’s dying in an age of malls, what is its the social relation? The project starts from the idea that the market is a place for the people, for the neighbourhood and the local community. Malls and supermarket with their different scale and social impact have shown to be very problematic and demanding. A successful approach would be to have a market that could protect the small local sellers, and provide a public space, a social condenser for everyday meeting... ...A screen of the neighbourhood, a projection of the streets, the build, the void... a strong reference and/or a fulfilment of a missing part. The “negative” of the open space becomes a container for the different programs (food and no-food market, hall, bars and restaurant) that need more or less openness.

The old castle in Brivio dates from around the 900, and because of its strategic location, have passed trough many different periods and rulers. In the past used to be completely surrounded by water, slowly with the city expansion, the water was land filled and the castle started to lose its original layout. After the original wall was partially demolished, new construction (private apartments) were build on top of the wall... The wall became a home. On the ground floor, the wall is not demolished, but some parts are excavated to make room for laboratories and industrial workshops during the period. The facade and the inner workshop rooms were surveyed and re-thought, with the idea to take the spaces and bring them back to life with their original identity.

This are only few of the key words that could define the project. The hotel is thought as a grid, build up by units (hotel rooms), into different layouts and shapes, that can adapt to multiple footprints and locations. The grid dimensions are defined following the maximal road transportation lengths and heights (road and ship rules). Thanks to the flexibility offered by the grid, every hotel leaves a platform that has foundations and can be re-used for designing new building or public space... ...In the case of the project, a public sport field or a kid playground. At their final destination, thanks to the flexibility in arrangement and transportation, the rooms could be used as emergency shelters for homeless people in post-disaster areas and countries.

With the rise of the sea level, traditional technology is not enough...new approach is defined, following a strategy of symbiosis between man and nature. An artificial layer of spongy textile, earth and salt marshes are layered, building up natural coastal dunes over the existing dikes, thanks to the tidal variation of 2m. For the improval of the tourism inside the protected area, a new smart regional network is adopted, while the circulation and the control on the human activities is guaranteed by a new smart devices that could float like boats, but land on the mud and become “houses”. Human presence is limited, there is no such thing as cities, only moving communities.

The “solid” and the “void” define the atmospheres of the port, and the projects seeks to reinterpret the functional meanings and the feelings of the place. The project integrates the closed port with the city by the use of “promenade” axis, linking it with the shore side system, and provides new programs. The architectural concept is to create a dynamic environment, where people use the rails for sliding urban furniture, temporary pavilions and big void structure, that could relate with 3 solid buildings by increasing their flexibility. The Ma-chine slides form side to side, making 4 stops, using the power of the sea level!

Excellence then, is not an act, but a HABIT.” - Aristotle “An object should be judged by whether it has a FORM consistent with its USE” - Bruno Munari “I’ve noticed the computer sometimes leads to rather bland decision making; now, anybody can do a wobbly BLOBBY building” - Peter Cook “Architecture is a dangerous mixture of POWER and IMPOTENCE” - Rem Koolhaas “We shape our buildings; thereafter they SHAPE US” - Winston Churchill “Architecture BEGINS where engineering ENDS” - Walter Gropius “Architecture should speak of its TIME and PLACE, but yearn for TIMELESSNESS” - Frank Gehry “I call architecture FROZEN MUSIC” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be UNMEASURABLE” - Louis Kahn “LIGHT, God’s eldest daughter, is a principal beauty in a building” - Thomas Fuller “All the revision in the world will not save a bad first draft: for the architecture of the thing comes, or fails to come, in the first CONCEPTION, and revision only affects the detail and ornament, alas!” - T. E. Lawrence “Those who look for the laws of NATURE as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator” - Antonio Gaudi “Architecture is basically a CONTAINER of something. I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea” - Yoshio Taniguchi “A doctor can bury his mistakes, but an architect can only advise his clients to plant vines” - Frank Lloyd Wright “Cheops’ Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within BUDGET” - Robert A. Heinlein “Form follows profit” is the aesthetic principle of our times.” - Richard Rogers “A PROFOUND design process eventually makes the patron, the architect, and every occasional visitor in the building a slightly BETTER HUMAN BEING” - Juhani Pallasmaa “Very often the opinion of the clients must be disregarded in their own INTEREST.” - John M. Johansen “I don’t know why people hire architects and then TELL them what TO DO.” - Frank Gehry “It is not right to take one building out of the whole work of a man because even the faults show the CHANGES in his work. They show the HUMANITY of the man that did it” - Enrico Peressutti “The architecture we remember is that which never consoles or comforts us.” - Peter Eisenman “Any work of architecture which does not express SERENITY is a MISTAKE.” - Luis Barragán “I am trying to counter the FIXITY of architectures, their stolidity, with elements that give an ineffable IMMATERIAL quality.” - Toyo Ito “Architecture is INVENTION.” - Oscar Niemeyer “We do not create the work. I believe we, in fact, are DISCOVERERS.” - Glenn Murcutt “Every building is a PROTOTYPE. No two are alike.” - Helmut Jahn “When I am asked what I believe in, I say that I believe in architecture. Architecture is the mother of the arts. I like to believe that architecture connects the PRESENT with the PAST and the TANGIBLE with the INTANGIBLE.” - Richard Meier “I like ruins because what remains is not the total design, but the clarity of THOUGHT, the naked structure, the SPIRIT of the thing.” - Tadao Ando “It’s very easy to be different, but very difficult to be BETTER.” - Jonathan Ive “The pencil and computer are, if left to their own devices, equally DUMB and only as good as the person driving them.” - Norman Foster “ACTION is the foundational key to all success.” - Pablo Picasso “INCONSISTENCY itself breeds VITALITY.” - Kenzo Tange “The Sun does not realise how wonderful it is until after a ROOM is made.” - Louis Kahn “One of the great beauties of architecture is that each time, it is like life STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.” - Renzo Piano “Architecture is not about SPACE but about TIME.” - Vito Acconci “Architecture is too SLOW in its realisation to be a ‘problem solver’.” - Cedric Price “Architecture, of all the arts, is the one which acts the most slowly, but the most surely, on the SOUL.” - Ernest Dimnet “I don’t divide architecture, LANDSCAPE and gardening; to me they are one.” - Luis Barragán “Architecture arouses SENTIMENTS in man. The architect’s task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.” - Adolf Loos “Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into SPACE.” - Mies van der Rohe “Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created BY EVERYBODY.” - Jane Jacobs “Buildings should be good NEIGHBOURS.” - Paul Thiry “Designs of purely ARBITRARY nature cannot be expected to last long.” - Kenzo Tange “ There is a danger when every building has to look spectacular, to look like it is changing the world. I don’t care how a building looks if it means something, not to architects, but to the people who USE it.” - David Chipperfield “The job of buildings is to improve human RELATIONS: architecture must ease them, not make them worse.” - Ralph Erskine “Architecture is the learned GAME, correct and magnificent, of FORMS assembled in the LIGHT.” - Le Corbusier “Architecture is not based on concrete and steel and the elements of the soil. IT’S BASED ON WONDER.” - Daniel Libeskind “When I’m working on a problem, I never think about BEAUTY. But when I’ve finished, if the solution is not beautiful I know it’s wrong.” - Buckminster Fuller “Each new SITUATION requires a new architecture.” - Jean Nouvel “Literature is painting, ARCHITECTURE, and music.” - Yevgeny Zamyatin “The greatest products of architecture are less the works of individuals than of society; rather the offspring of a nation’s effort, than the inspired flash of a man of GENIUS...” - Victor Hugo “Forests were the first temples of God and in FORESTS men grasped their first idea of architecture.” - James C. Snyder “Inspiration in Science may have to do with ideas, but not in Art. In art it is in the senses that are instinctively responsive to the MEDIUM of EXPRESSION.” - Arthur Erickson “Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in HARMONY together.” - Alvar Aalto “Architecture starts when you carefully put two bricks TOGETHER. There it begins.” - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe “The higher the building the lower the MORALS.” - Noel Coward “Space has always been the SPIRITUAL DIMENSION of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us.” - Arthur Erickson “To provide MEANINGFUL architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.” - Daniel Libeskind “I believe that the way people live can be DIRECTED a little by architecture.” - Tadao Ando “Architecture is the reaching out for the TRUTH.” - Louis Kahn “Architecture is inhabited SCULPTURE.” - Constantin Brancusi “Painting, sculpture and architecture are finished, but the art habit CONTINUES.” - Robert Smithson “Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings SPEAK for themselves.” - Julia Morgan “My buildings will be my LEGACY... they will speak for me long after I’m gone.” - Julia Morgan “To me, a building - if it’s beautiful - is the LOVE of one man, he’s made it out of his love for SPACE, MATERIALS, things like that.” - Martha Graham “Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die.” - Daniel Burnham “Architecture is not an inspirational business, it’s a RATIONAL procedure to do sensible and hopefully beautiful things; that’s all.” - Harry Seidler “My house is my refuge, an EMOTIONAL piece of architecture, not a cold piece of CONVENIENCE.” - Luis Barragan “Architecture can’t fully represent the chaos and turmoil that are part of the human personality, but you need to put some of that turmoil into the architecture, or it isn’t REAL.” - Frank Stella “Nothing requires the architect’s care more than the due PROPORTIONS of buildings.” - Vitruvius “What people want, above all, is ORDER.” - Stephen Gardiner “But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of INTERACTION, and that to change the environment is to change BEHAVIOUR.” - Thom Mayne “A city building, you experience when you walk; a suburban building, you experience when you drive.” - Helmut Jahn “The work of art shows people new DIRECTIONS and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present.” - Adolf Loos “Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe DYNAMICS are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.” - John Portman “Architects today tend to depreciate themselves, to regard themselves as no more than just ordinary citizens without the power to reform the FUTURE.” - Kenzo Tange “Buildings should serve PEOPLE, not the other way around.” - John Portman “I hate vacations. If you can build BUILDINGS, why sit on the beach?” - Philip Johnson
