ABOUT ME

Buongiorno, sono un giovane architetto, laureato in Architettura delle Costruzioni presso il Politecnico di Milano. Durante gli anni di formazione ho potuto avvicinarmi alla progettazione su scale differenti, dagli interni alla scala urbana e territoriale, acquisendo competenze trasversali nelle diverse fasi di elaborazione di un progetto. Da sempre affascinata dallo studio delle forme nello spazio, della luce e dei materiali, ho maturato un particolare interesse verso la progettazone dell’edificio, il progetto di dettaglio, l’interior design e l’allestimento. Sono alla ricerca di un’esperienza lavorativa in cui io possa esprimere le mie competenze e la mia professionalità su temi architettonici, ma anche di rappresentazione e comunicazione del pensiero progettuale, mettendo in campo la curiosità, l’entusiasmo e lo zelo che mi contraddistinguono.

Hi, I’m a young architect, graduated in Building Architecture at Politecnico di Milano. During these years I approached design at different scales, from interiors to urban and territorial scale, developing my skills across various stages of design. I’ve always been fascinated by the relationship between forms and space, the study of light and materials and I’ve grown my interest in building design, detail design, interior design and exhibitions. I’m looking forward to finding a job opportunity in which I can show my proficiency and my professional skills in architectural themes but also in the representation and communication of the whole design thinking. I’m eager to employ the curiosity, enthusiasm and zeal that have always been my peculiar features.

HARVARD ALLSTON CAMPUS

Harvard Allston Campus

Master thesis Allston, Boston (Massachusetts)

Harvard Allston Campus

UNIVERSITY, CITY AND LANDSCAPE The goal is to develop the new Harvard Campus in Allston as a university district in which students and community alike can benefit from the same facilities. This will help to encourage cultural, economic and social growth in the whole area of Allston, that previously was a mainly industrial part of the city. As it happens for the city of Boston, you can recognise different morphologies even in the new masterplan, that takes inspiration from the immediate surroundings. The Emerald Necklace is then the existing natural system that structures the city from downtown Boston to the south. It is the context in which a new urban park is developed in the project: the Allston Park and the Charles River are two natural systems that frame the new buildings. In order to avoid a unique relationship with the existing campus, but fostering instead the connections with the whole metropolitan area, the masterplan proposed is oriented east-west, reinforcing the development tendencies of the city of Boston. In Allston you can find mainly single-family houses and big blocks for facilities. The new buildings that represent Allston Campus and its opennes to the community are located on fundamental connexion axis.

Relationship with Western Avenue

In that point where Western Avenue meets the Allston Park you can find the Center for the Arts and the Cultural and Community Center. These buildings, thanks to their architecture and function, are suitable as representative buildings for the new campus and as catalysts for public life. Their position and architectural composition make it clear how crucial they are for the masterplan, and for the transition from an old campus concept to a new idea of urban and technological-

ly advanced campus. The public character of the two buildings is reflected in the aggregation of volumes that compose them. It allows visitors to understand immediately the architectural intent, since they can perceive the serving spaces as transparent corridors that invade the â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? spaces among the geometrical volumes. These latter ones are mainly characterised by stone cladding and house all the specific functions of a Center for the Arts and a Cultural and Community Center.

In the elevations you can distinguish the serving spaces, with transparent glass walls and unvarying height and the stone cladded volumes that have instead various heights. Here the transparent surfaces or windows are placed exclusively according to the internal needs of light and view. The auditorium volume in the Cultural and Community Center is the only one with an exterior cladding in copper-coloured metal wire, used to make it a visible landmark during day and night.

Academic work 101 east 63rd street, New York

Section of the original project

East 64th street

Lexington Avenue

101 East 63rd Street in New York was one of the coolest and most fashionable spots in the 70s. Better known as Halston House, from the name of the stylist who bought it in 1974, it is an example of how the architect Paul Rudolph masterfully treated interior design challenges. This house occupies a whole lot of land, 7,5 metres wide and 30 metres long, therefore it can have windows only on the short sides. A three storey living room is the core of the house, with natural lighting coming from a skylight and a glass wall in the back of the house. The project deals with the reinterpretation of the inner spaces in this existing house. It is treated as an atypical single family house with a semi-public character. On the ground floor the staircase, the lift and the bar are treated as solid volumes used to separate the ways to the living room. The ground floor has a more public atmosphere, while on the other floors you can find the main bedroom, two guest rooms, a dining room and a kitchen.

PONTE LAMBRO DISTRICT

1 Boundary

Academic work Milan, Italy

The project’s aim is to regenerate Ponte Lambro district in Milan. Nowadays this is one of the main suburbs of the city, whose problems are the social degradation and the increase in the crime rate. Thanks to the new intervention it can be perceived as ‘the green district’ of Milan. Ponte Lambro is surrounded by cultivated fields that nowadays represent an obstruction to its development. In a new overall concept they can become the district’s main feature so that agriculture becomes the main source of work and green energy for the district. In the project a long green park follows the flow of Lambro river and it is interrupted by crossing stripes with low-density residential areas, called “contemporary farm”, and colourful flower fields. The goal is to break the strong vertical (north-south) direction of the streets and buildings in the current situation by creating a regular unifying network. This system encourages traditional agricultural activities and zero-miles products selling. The Linate village, in the north of Ponte Lambro, becomes part of the project, too. The two areas are connected by a stripe with urban facilities and a new square where citizens and tourists can meet.

T O U R M O N T PA R N A S S E An analysis conducted about Montparnasse area showed that there were many urban systems (routes, transports, open space, buildings) that coexisted without cooperating to create a harmonious, liveable place. The aim of this project is to make them work together, as a unique complex system around the main landmark in this area: Tour Montparnasse. The tower is now merely a monument to itself, another symbol in the skyline of the city. Thanks to a new base, an element that can mediate between the highness of the tower and the ground, the project wants to enrich the tower with many facilities, public functions, public transports, collective spaces. The base can be the new part of the tower which really dialogues with the surrounding city. This building has to be very flexible and permeable, theoretically thought as a transparent case filled with independent units which serve different functions. A big square, below the street level, is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ouvertureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of this new multifunctional system made of both the tower and the base. It is located at the end of one of the main wide boulevards in Paris, becoming in this way part of the relevant and lively public spaces in the city.

Ottensheim is a small village on the Danube river, it is supposed to host the World Rowing Cup and thus the need to requalify the riverfront, recently disastrously flooded. The project aims at creating a sharp urban waterfront between two defined end points of the settlement, treating different areas according to their features. The riverfront becomes more accessible and lively thanks to the development of a chain of urban public functions. In the system of site-specific designed programs with social context you can find leisure areas, cul-

ture, sport, education, open air activities and community life. This will help in transforming the way the society perceives the role of water especially after the unlucky event. All the site-specific projects are thought to be flexible, with raised or floating structures that welcome the rising water level without being damaged. A new dock stands as a landmark, reconnecting the site with the main axis of the town. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s designed to host a bar, a canoe storage and wide open spaces for leisure activities with a panoramic view over the river.
