LUCA COSTANTINO architecture PORTFOLIO
ABOUT ME I was born in January 25th, 1992, in Biella, a little city away about 90 kms from Turin. I am recently graduate with a Master in Architecture at Politechnich of Turin; meanwhile I’m working like a waiter and deputy cook in a small restaurant close to Biella, where I could improve my sense of responsability, work in a group, manage hard situations as well as my relationship with the customers. During the first period of University I have been working with the architecture studio “De Ferrari Architetti”, located in Turin, that permitted me to follow and know the real face of work; in the second one, I’ve been the assistant for Luciano Pia, author of famous buildings like “25th Verde” and “Casa Hollywood” in Turin. Always in love with math and logic, I’ve developed a strong interest for parametric design, that I’ve improved during the course that I followed with Arturo Tedeschi, computational designer at Polytechnic of Milan and worker for Zaha Hadid’s studios in 2010, with Grasshopper and Rhynoceros. I’ve worked on a master thesys called “IDP - Sperimentation of instruments for the Integrative Design Process”, in order to analyze the work flux with Grasshopper to ideate an ideal coworking space to insert in an existing building. I love sports, technology and photography, like architecture, too. From September, 2018 to May, 2019 I’ve worked at Fabio Fantolino, one of Torino’s most famous studios of interior design. In the same year I’ve obteined the professional license of Architect. Completely available to attend training or refresher courses for languages, softwares and everything can help the team to improve the quality of the works.

Located in one the bigger park of the Turin’s City, ‘La Mandria’s park, the Royal Park Golf ‘I Roveri’ is a famous course designed by two of most recognized and talented architects in the world like Michael Hurdzan-Fry and Robert Trent Jones. The clubhouse was review during the period between 1980 and 1985, when S.J. Hutter designed spaces to mark traditions, trophies and pride of the Agnelli’s family, the same owner of Juventus F.C. The target of this project was the best outfitting able to assign at the Club the same prestige recognized to the courses; what the Fabio Fantolino’s Studio tried to image, is a place where everyone could feel the golf’s atmosphere despite a lot of elements of design, like armchairs, pendants, stools, and furnitures hand-draw and custommade, located in all rooms we had to rethink: the main access with a sponsor-area, the trophies’ room, a common space, the restaurant, a buvette and the close external area. The result is a place where everything is thought to be in that place with that material, in order to equilibrate the perception and the fruibility of the spaces.

The actual technologic evolution, with the need to integrate all the things that caracterize a project during its phases , and the necessity to reduce economics and environmental costs, give us the possibility to find a new way of work that ensure more design’s velocity and better final quality. For this reason the design’s methods needs a new definition, in order to purpose a scheme that consider all architectural faces had to be used; is necessary a total approach that follow water, energy, air and material’s cycles. From this issue start the current thesis, which try to analyze an operative method knows in USA like IDP, Integrative Design Process, that’s different from the traditional ones. The final scope of this theory is to maximize the benefits of energetic consumption to build a comfortable space as soon as possible, during the “Early Design Phase”, to give a lot of feedbacks to the teamwork and modify the project. The current study has analyzed a floor in an old builing located in Turin, the actual Unicredit’s headquarter in Via Nizza. The goal is to adapt the old office’s spaces into coworking ones, using Rhinoceros and Grasshopper to study which architectural parts could influence energetical behaviors, in parametric way. After a first simulation that has given some results that has shown which building’s parts needed to be modified, LEED’s certificate has given guide-lines to improve the final project.

CITY’S HEALTH

During the last decade, the city of Turin has decided to increase its higher level in terms of building, especially after that two of contemporaneous and most importants architects, Renzo Piano and Massimiliano Fuksas, had designed towers for banks and Region of Piemonte. Fuksas’ studio has realized a masterplan called ExFiatAvio where hosting the Regione Piemonte offices, a crossing railway station, houses, shops and green areas, trying to redevelop a neighbourhood which had always hosted factories, smokestacks and machineries. At this time tower is almost finished, but, due to the money lack, nothing in the area has been built except the underpass that connects the easter Turin’s part to the western. What we could image, like Architecture’s students, is to find right investors able to partecipate to the improve the area’s situation, due to the citizens’ opinion. Our project wants copy the Turin’s architectural trama, with an accurate use of green areas. We have tried to design a big axis that virtually connect the new crossing rayilway station to the Fuksas’ Tower, in order to create a big square that concentrate most number of people and make it an a strategic point of the city. The symbolic element of the full project consisting in two towers, designed with Grasshopper and studied till the structure’s dimension, both sites in front of the station and represent a new city’s door, with the intention of touch the sky through the creation of volumes ever bigger.

The goal of this project was the best outfitting for the ‘Museo dell’Accademia delle Scienze’, an important instituation of Turin established back in 1757 as a private scientific society. Is located in the same building that hosts the famous Egyptian Museum of Turin, second in terms of importance just at the Cairo’s one, which used to be the Accademia’s headquarter as well. This is the reason why we have been asked not to design a permanent exhibit or intervention but just temporary ones; the professors wanted us to enhance the tiled floor and the existing lighting figures, which has an elliptical form. That is the main reason why we designed both room starting fromt the geometrical form of the ellipse, which is both a perfect mathematic shape and the one planets are used to cover during their infinite surge. The structure we placed in the first room is made in steel, and is not linked to pre-existence in any way. It can host many different kind of exhibitions thanks to the modularity of the project, which allow exhibit’s researchers to choose between shocases, poster or other which can be hung to the structure. Showcases are easily disassembled and assembled as well as placed and removed thanks to a fastening system we designed especially for the occasion. To complete the fist room, the big neon-made writing says ‘Veritas et Utilitas’, Accademia’s motto. The second room has been conceived as a digital library, allowing people see the most precious books of the collection (which counts around 250.000 tomes) and read them from digital devices such as tablets. The structure hosting the books has been designed as weel as the first one to guarantee ease of use and flexibility.

The work area is located in the center of Settimo Torinese, a city close to Turin, and especially focus a way that connect the local train station with a small show’s palace, passed between the storic center. Our goal was to refurbish all about the private light, to improve street’s security, external building’s aspect and the general city’s comfort. The ‘Hot to Cold’ project want to make clearly the route between two meeting points, to accompany the tourists from the station to the ‘Suoneria’ by an easy way: replace all old sources with newer ones and placing lighting spots that explain everyhing about the city, the place where’s in and about the evenings’ show. The spots are represented by a bench has lights that change according the gender of music played. Furthermore, an other important part of this projec focus on the architecural illumination of the “Chiesa di San Pietro in Vincoli”: by placing projectors in front of the facade, we wanted to enfatize tridimensionality of the pronaos and the relationship between the naves with a luminance ratio of 4:1. In the end, same powerfull source of light irradiance top of bell tower, making darker the below part characterized by a retro-lit clock.

PLASTIC MONUMENT
W H AT International contest WHO YAC - Young Architectural Competition WHERE Itinerary exposition WHEN 2019 WHY Contest
38
At the extreme ends of the earth, dull grey skies are whipped by winds saturated with dust. Here, men, women and children wander through boundless expanses of plastic looking for waste to sell at a few cents a kilogram. Is this a dystopia? Is this science fiction? No, it is not. This happens along the river Dhaka in Bangladesh. This is one of the numerous aspects of a disaster, which is now too extended to be told. By nature, plastic waste is indestructible and currently there is an incalculable amount of it on the planet. Human beings are losing the fight against plastic waste. Actually plastic is not an enemy. It made space travels possible. It revolutionized medicine. Daily, it saves millions of people making food resources safe and accessible to the poorest populations of the planet. What is needed is not a world without plastic. What is needed now is a revolutionized awareness about waste management. Moreover, a technological research to create sustainable alternatives to traditional polymers is required. This competition aiming to create an itinerant architectural installation that will travel all around the world to raise awareness about the impact of plastic waste on our planet.
Evolved from a primordial concept of polymer consisting of amber, turtle shells or animal horns, plastic is now one of the most discussed issues related to environmental sustainability. Its overexploitation has inevitably conditioned human behaviour, inducing it to follow paths with no return that, it is estimated, will lead, in 2050, the oceans to have more plastic than fish (in terms of weight). The “HUMAN HAND” aims to represent the entire species, responsible for a crime punishable in all its aspects that can not leave trailing. Made through the modeling of recycled material, specially collected and shaped to measure, it is placed on a metal plate that symbolizes the fragility with which this system still continues its journey.

HUMAN’s BEHAVIOR CAUSES PLASTIC’s GARBAGE
The evolution we are talking about has made possible the mass diffusion of plastic as a resilient material, suitable for multiple uses and multiple cycles. The error inherent in the flow with which it is used is embodied in the superficiality with which we relate to it: comfort has become waste, utility has become dependence, resource has become a problem. From the point of view of the relationship between the earth, with the animals housed, and man, being that has ruined it, the panda’s foot, a SYMBOL OF THE WWF, made exclusively with bottle caps, symbolizes the attacked side, the one that is difficult to recover, but the one we cannot be without. A combination that evokes a marriage that has become unsustainable. Only because of us.

The contest’s official name is ‘Polito in Light’. The final goal was the selection of a preliminary project to realize a new temporary lightning installation in the Corte d’Onore of Castello del Valentino, in Turin. The best design, will be built after a period of a deeping by all the students took part in the contest. In this case, the design has like a main idea the geographical position of the contest: the castel is located into a big park, city’s icon furthermore green lung of Turin. Using Grasshopper, the main form has been found with attemps to recognize right relationship between costs and aesthetic appearance. The firts phase provided to bring in the court the symbol of this park, the tree, stylizing and using the most important parts like elements which shapes that fitting good with the language of the building. There was also an econimical aspect: the opera didn’t have to cost more of 5.000 €. For this reason, we have tought only one steel structural pole, a bark built in wood, like the basement and one hollow steel spyral. The final position in the copetition was 4th.
