[P]ERSONAL ATTITUDES // I have a strong interest for the unknown. I enjoy the challenge of research and experimentation, for its implicit attitude towards the discovery of something new and never tried before. My strongest interest in the architectural practice lies in the field of computation, where new opportunities and means of experimenting for architects are constantly arising, where complexity meets materiality and the digital world is able to become architecture. This is attitude reflects in different aspects of my life. I love travelling (sailing across Mediterranean sea, two roadtrips in central Europe and to Nordkapp), and I enjoy photography, mostly of architecture and landscape. I have a strong interest for music, inherited from my family, which brings me to listen and learn many different styles, from classic to rock to electronic. With the same passion for experimentation, research and adventure, I played different sports, at agonistic and amatorial level, loving psychological and tactical aspects as well as the constant challenge and the team spirit.

TRANSITION SPACES
DONANA OUT OF THE CITY
p. 13 // Architectural Design
Where the urban-rural intersection occurs , dense and disperse patterns weave each other creating peculiar forms of space, giving life to a new environment: the rurban tissue. Sanlucar De Barrameda intersects the natural world of the Donana Regional Park with the urbanized spaces of the town. The project aims at the reconciliation of the two entities through the redifinition of a new ground in a buffer area of the city, which environmentally connect the seaside and the Park to the forest behind the town, and creates a transition between urban and rural grounds.

[2014] Design Proposal ACTLAB

EXPO MILAN 2015
p. 19 // Architectural Design
The design proposal has been developed by ACTLAB team, under the supervision of Arch. Roberto Naboni. Complementary to the partecipation in concept and design operations, my role has been, at first, to create the parametric model for the brick facade and to develope the tensile system characterising the central plaza of the pavillion. In the final steps of the process I was in charge of developing renderings for the final presentation of the project to clients. The open space is characterized by three main themes: the path, made of materials from all over the world, the vases, collecting cultivations from all the countries where KIP is operating, and the thread, which aims at linking the different cultures involved in the project.

p. 21 // Architectural Design
The pavillion is developed on the concept of representing the different areas of the world where KIP acts and to link and bond them together by means of the threads tensile system in the central core. The tensile chords system was designed to be supported by tubular steel elements, whereas the facade is composed of 12934 hexagonal bricks, parametrically tuned according to sun exposure and functional requirements.

tank house
SHAPING invisible forces
The project aims at enhancing and exploting the power of natural forces present in the are of the Ortomercato in Milan. Environmental analysis and simulations, from irradiance mapping to waterflows detection, become the drivers of the design. A self-sustainable single family house is the core element of the masterplan of the area. An informed circlepacking algorithm has been developed in order to exploit the waterflows of the site and shape the bubblepacked house to collect the biggest amount of rainwater. The process of bubble-formation derives from an algorithm of inflation of the single shells with the idea of an inflatable-formwork for the construction of the concrete shells.

[2015] Bachelor Thesis Prof. Ingrid Paoletti // Arch. Roberto Naboni
a performative approach towards 3d printed architecture
p. 31 // Research Projects
Additive Manufacturing is considered a revolutionary manufacturing technique, changing the concept of what we can produce and the modality of production. Architects and construction companies look with interest to the 3D printing phenomenon as a game-changer in the creation of novel architectural forms and as an innovative construction process to be explored. While an international community comprised of architects have tackled many experiments in the recent years, one main question is substantially not answered yet: how do we build with 3d printing? The thesis, organized in two parts, attempts at answering this question either referring to the existing experiments across the world, either developing an experimental design of a 3d printed construction system.

// Organization in two parts: literature review and project
04 // A Performative Approach Towards 3D Printed Architecture // p. 32
p. 33 // Research Projects
The final result of this thesis is an hybrid computational workflow of analysis and optimization, which balances between different targets and boundary conditions. Every optimization choice has been set in the domain of additive manufacturing and the computational process includes a multi-scalar optimization algorithm that, working with topology optimization mechanisms, informs the transition from a concept model to a construction model. The tessellation of the design is thus a variable dimension and direction tiling system which responds to the technological boundary conditions, but also reacts to mechanical stresses, varying its density and directions.

Weaving
enclosure
p. 35 // Research Projects
Weaving Enclosure is an experimental installation developed by ACTLAB in 2014 and a synthesis of a research on the emergent properties of weaving material system in architecture. From the combination of advanced design techniques and digital crafting, the international workshop UnExpected MateReality 2014 investigated the potentialities of material driven design, in particular focusing on the close correspondence between material properties and assembly in the millenary culture of weaving.
05 // Weaving Enclosure // p. 36
The final prototype is a full scale enclosure system with a self-standing structure based on the frictional interaction between vertical plywood warp elements, and a double set of rattan-based wefts. With the implementation of custom-based design algorithms the bending behavior of woven rattan strands has been computationally embedded and later tuned by extrinsic parameters to modulate the overall geometric features and the gradient of screening ratio.

p. 41 // Research Projects
The Workshop researched Granular Space. Vertical cylinders - solid or hollow columns - were the starting point for these spatial explorations. Cylinders being compression-structures only are the most basic and reliable structural types to be realized with designed aggregates. They thus allow for fast and vast exploration of possible morphological variations on local and global scales.
