Elena Nedelcu departement/ Oct 2019- April 2020 During these months of internship I partecipate in several on going projects, such as The Clicchy-Montfermeil metro station, in Paris, and a couple of competitions, such as the Sants railway station, Barcelona, and Re-inventing City, Milano. I proved to be open to fulfilling tasks involving small and large scale projects. I assisted the design team with drawings, research, images and 3D models (physical and virtual) through different phases of the project and on the different stages of the design process, from concept to the construction. I have participated in calls for major international competitions contributing to the definition of intervention project ideas. I defined the technical and functional details of relevant aspects of a project in the executive phase, following their transformation both in design and in 3d modeling, Rhino and Revit. I had the opportunity to develope, represente and communicate project packages internally and externally with clarity, design sensitivity and a deep understanding of technical feasibility. I had the opportunity to get in touch with various professionals in the sector and in the industry.

SPAZI DI WELL-BEING Master thesis in Architecture costruction City Tutors: Enrico Fabrizio a.a. 2018/2019 The definition of well-being is: “a state that involves all aspects of the human being, and characterizes the quality of life of each individual person within a community or physical environment. Well-being therefore consists of the best possible balance between the biological plane, the psychic plane and the social plane of the individual. This condition is dynamic in nature”. The extent to which the built environment contributes to the determination of this state is substantial. The new trend of sustainable construction is moving from the “green” prerogative to matching the all codified technical “well-being” standards in architecture. This thesis aims at investigating this topic, focusing on the progress of green building standard into this new field: the WELL Building standard v.1 of the Well Building Institute (WBI) launched in 2014. The thesis examines also the relationship between olistic concept of confort and productivity in the workplace. An extensive analysis of WELL protocol, through all the environmental well-being requirements, has been carried out and applied to an existing realized project within Turin university (the complex of classrooms P of the Turin Polytechnic). The simulation includes also an economic evaluation of the present building.

DOES THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AFFECT OUR HEALTH? The physical characteristics of the built environment has been scientifically proven having effects on the mental and physical health of individuals iving inside. The combined action of lighting, thermal comfort acustic ventilation of the design guarantee the condition of wellbeing. The intent of this initiative is to remodel the services of the real estate market focusing on the importance of human health and well-being. The aspiration of the IWBI is to create a model of altruistic capitalism aimed at social responsibility and the identification of a model of philanthropic sustainability.

HOW THE HUMAN BODY REACT TO BUILDING’S STIMULI? Almost all studies and innovations on the conceptualization of the comfort of confined spaces and therefore on the institutionalization of a discipline or science such as technical physics are based on the study of the response of the human body to the factors that determine the IEQ (indoor environment quality).
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MESURE THE WELL-BEING? The identification and use of the most up-to-date and sophisticated innovations in terms of technology, health, science, design and business has led Delos to establish precise benchmarks in the green building sector. The approach used by Delos has allowed the overcoming of both the culture of energy efficiency and the concept of environmental sustainability, opening the way to multidisciplinary interactions. 10

THE INTIMATE CITY Dyining in the Urban Competition, Delft June 2020 As Ugo la Pietra says in the reappropriation of the city “To live is to be at home everywhere�. The intent of this project is in fact to bring domestic rituals into a dimension of public and creative sharing. The very simple concept starts from the square grid of Mother Teresa park, in Skopje, Macedonia and analyzes the formal combinations of its surroundings. The new geometries host family habits related to dining , defining each square as a functional room. The project aims to overcome the domestic - public dichotomy by trying to guarantee visitors different variations of intimacy. Habits are essential for individual and collective identity. Activities such as cooking, setting and washing dishes can be moments of intimate participation. The grid repeated in each square takes on a different configuration and materiality each time: a concrete roof, a system of wooden beams, a wooden reticular structure.

URBAN INTEGRATION Re-integration of the Mabru market area, Bruxelles Tutors: Nadia Casabella, Philippe De Clerck a.a 2017/18 with: Myriem Saoud, Berta G. MartĂnez, Michael Hoebeke
To avoid useless demolition, the project starts by keeping the two biggest buildings on the site: MaBru & CEFL. Mabru is kept as it is and the old Cefl hosts new functions. A new Cefl is built in front of the Canal alongside new palette docks in order to mutualize the logistical spaces of the two wholesalers and to lessen their environmental footprint with the use of the waterways. The circulation of the site is reworked in order to diffuse traffic. The rooftop of the new building hosts offices as buffer space and new housing towers as an answer to the housing crisis in Bruxelles. Water ponds are created for a sustainable use of rain water. On the canal front, new public spaces are added and an agrofostery park is created to tackle the food production aspect of the food hub. A waste treating facility helps transform the organic waste into compost that is then used as natural fertilizer for the production of products.

URBAN ISOLATION New urban planning for the district Mirafiori, Torino Tutors: Subash Mukerjee a.a. 2016/2017 with: Tommaso Ferraris, Antonio Sciannamblo The project was born playing the role of Studio Mumbai. Throught the visit to the area of Via Plava, In Mirafiori sud (Turin), we encountered a deep sense of isolation in relation to the city center. For this reason the first masterplan of the area focused on creating barriers that increased this sense of isolation in order to create a new sense of belonging in the area, a smal internal ecosystem. These barriers further evolved into bamboo forests, creating and imposing a visual limit with the rest of the surroundings periphery; bamboo forests create mysterious and dense paths that lead to the residential building. The plants grown in the new forests of Mirafiori Sud will produce the material needed for our architectural intervention, including a pavillion, a new construction in the middle of the project area, a new beating heart and a reference for the community.

URBAN RENEWAL Re-functionalization of a district in Dujiangyan, China Tutor: Marco Trisciuoglio/ a.a. 2016/2017 The project area is located in China, in Dujiangyan in the province of Chengdu. The “Agrofostery park project� intends to give a new aspect and function to a district located in a marginal area of the city, re-establishing a specific local identity with typical characteristics of a cultural heritage. The project is characterized by the development of the physiognomy of the existing urban area using it as a guideline for the project. The project maintains two existing housing blocks that close the lot already defined by the large highway that surrounds it. On the river front a new housing solution is developed. This solution combine the typical aspects of the local settlement (such as the presence of the Teahouse) and a modern residential construction that allows the riverfront to become walkable and distributed on two levels. Within this division the upper layer is the commercial one. The shape of the buildings and the position of the respective accesses draw the lines of reference that define a large agrofostery park in the center of the lot. This gesture represents the true inner value of the project and gives a clear definition to the entire district. A covered market, directly connected to the park, appears at the end the agrofostery and intends to interfere and to exploit the harvest seasonally. The market faces the main street of the lot that crosses it diagonally.
