WINE LOOP
MASTER PLAN
The project site in question is located in Porto, a well-known town in the north of Portugal. The revitalization of the area was the main topic of the course. While pursuing an economic activity that could bring identity to the project, the wine was considered as an ideal opportunity given the scale of project, connectivity, topography of the site, the morphology and proximity to the city centre of Porto. The desire is to create a project that intensifies the liveability of the area, trying to attract not only visitors but also local citizens. With a vineyard in the background, the proposal develops along the topography, linking functions around the wine process and its various components in a single general plan. The master plan is therefore composed by several buildings in which different functions develop; in particular three buildings are intended for the entire wine production, while other buildings located east of the site are mostly dwellings. In this section the 3 buildings related to wine production will be illustrated: the production building, the learning centre and the commercial crater area.

STRATEGY
The wine production building has been located in the centre of the project area where the 4-metre-high terraces converge. Strategic grape harvest point.
the delineation of a route connecting our magnet building from north to south..
creation of routes between the vineyards that follow the terraces.
the grape bunches collection system is linked to the main wine production building.
the manufacturing building is closely connected with the bar, restaurant and shops located in the building in front and below.
the finished products can therefore be distributed.

PRODUCTION BUILDING This building is the heart of our project: the rectangular shape tries to establish a humanistic estatement over the curvilinear landscape of vineyards. While the volume is cut by a diagonal void that plays with the main axis system, it provides natural light to the interior. Inside, each function is organized compelling the required necessities of each part of the process. The rooftop serves as a pure miradouro that embrace workers to come and take a breath while enjoying the view.

CONTEXT
The project area in this case deals with a very narrow and long Gothic lot, in fact, the project site is surrounded by pre-existing buildings except for the south-facing side which is in front of a park located nearby the river. The difficulties faced during the design process were not only related to the position of the site but also to the application of the Paris development plan. The building is a co-housing that means a house that hosts not only apartments but also services for common use. The apartments are located on the upper floors while the services on the first and ground floor. The services placed inside the co-housing are also accessible by local citizens and have been chosen according to the services already present in the neighbourhood. Architecturally speaking the building consists of two blocks that are related to each other through a system of distribution placed in the middle of the two. The distribution system is essentially a system of staggered balconies that allows people to access to the different floors.

The apartments are located in the last floors and are different from each other in order to meet the needs of families. There are mainly three typologies of apartments: two different types of duplex, the difference between the two is the additional bedroom, and a regular apartment developed in one floor. Due to the Gothic lot, the duplex typology and the inner courtyard help to get the light inside every room. bathroom

WALKING THROUGH THE VINEYARDS
MASTER PLAN
The project is located in Cantine Romagnoli, a place settled near Milan. It is a landscape project that focuses on the wonderful landscape of the vineyards. However there are some places within the vineyards that present different characteristics. The goal of this project is to emphasize the characteristics of these places, designing different installations based on the place of reference. In this way, the audience would fell the landscape as a collection of different environments and not just the vineyards even though it takes the majority of the space of the project site. A lake, a wooded area, a cycle path and a completely empty area between vineyards were then identified. The project is made by different interventions, here is reported the most remarkable one, the tower. It is located at the top of the hill, and it looks at the 4 different installations placed in the different environments. From the last floor of the tower, the landscape can be admired in its completeness.

CONCEPT
The idea is to focus the visitors’ attention on different views floor by floor. All the bow windows are looking to something specific; in particular the installations placed around Cantine Romagnoli area can be seen one by one in each floor. The staircase leading up to the bow window and the bow window itself are considered as a single element that takes up the concept of the telescope.

ON BOARD_WHERE THE LAND MEETS THE SEA
| intervention_link with the past STRATEGY
The thesis deals with the enhancement of the coastal landscape at Capo Mannu, a site of Community interest (SCI) that presents unique and distinctive natural landscapes. The thesis foresees the implementation of 6 different interventions. In this section the two most representative installations are going to be presented as follow: link with the past and the camping area. Starting with the first installation, the place is located between the saline and the sea, and in the current situation the site presents palms, red soil, drive-road and little constructions that host surf school and bars. The idea is to enhance the relationship between the sea and the saline by extending the existing paths as they represents the old existing channels that used to link the sea with the saline. In addition to this, the driveroad would turn into a pedestrian way, as it is suggested in the SCI municipality plan, where the new installations will be placed. The red soil will be replaced by local vegetation. Since the existing services mentioned above are hosted in little boxes that are not related in any case with the context, the idea is to replace them with an uni-formal design that fits the context, by enhancing the linear axe and hosting useful services related mainly to the surf activities.

| intervention_camping area STRATEGY
Regarding the second installation, the place is characterised by an existing abandoned camping the presence of several paths and local vegetation. Since, there is a lack of hosting services, the decision to keep the area as a camping site as it supposed to be. In fact the design of the area foresees to replace the old camping area with a new one located where there is the existing wide path and also to close some of the unused paths to let the vegetation grow spontaneously. The new camping area is composed by 10 cabins placed far from each other in order to ensure privacy, and they are located in a line as the capanna di falasco used to be in the past. The final shape of the singular cabin is given by the capanna di falasco. The idea is to keep the tradition into the innovation. For this reason, the house presents similar features of capanna di falasco and the relation can be seen in the sloping roof and in the use of the thatched blinds.

The main component of garbage from construction site is BRICK and CONCRETE and it accounts for 13%< DEBRIS FROM CONSTRUCTION SITE >60% of the total amount AIM AND OBJECTIVES The aim of the study is to seek potential purpose of recycled plastic to apply in the bricks for the construction sector RESULTS According to different scientific articles, there is the possibility to RECYCLE PLASTIC IN MAKING BRICKS. This solution will lead to different benefits such as: reduce the consumption of resources, reduce the environmental impact, a good way to treat plastic waste. among the different data found, the physical and economical values were the most relevant to the topic. PHYSICAL VALUE: 2 parameters have prove to be important: _The heat resistance: Bricks have very hight fire resistance (the melting point of plastic is 260°, the fire resistance of plastic is inferior) _The heat capacity: heat capacity using blocks made of HDPE (High-Density Poly Ethylene) is > than clay bricks ECONOMICAL VALUES: _Material cost: regular bricks are cheaper than the plastic ones. Indeed 80% of bricks are sand, and the sand costs: US $75.15/ton for sand VS US $129/ton for sorted plastic waste _Energy consumption: plastic blocks require less energy consumption < (65% of the energy consumption in clay bricks production is due to the firing process

PLASTIC WASTE AS A CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
06
INTRODUCTION The growing amount of plastic waste around the world is causing various problems such as: POLLUTION, MARINE PLASTIC.
The SWOT analysis summarizes the results of bricks and plastic bricks. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, therefore IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY WHICH MATERIAL IS SUPERIOR. However, plastic bricks have sufficient properties as construction materials, and it can be said that plastic bricks are well suited for some applications and should be promoted and supported by local governments. A company called Conceptos Plásticos, a start-up that builds buildings using plastic bricks, has succeeded in building a 40-square-meter, practical one-story house in about five days with four people at a lower cost.
