XIONG’AN A CHINESE NEW AREA Master Thesis Research | Relator Prof. Michele Bonino From 1981 to 2015 the chinese built area intended for urban centers is more than doubled and the number of cities and towns is now tenfold. New City, New Town and New Area have become the common terms in the developing scenario put in act by the chinese country over the years, becoming a fundamental part of the growth process by trasforming the territory and a vehicle to affirm visions and hopes. In 2017 Xi Jingping announced the last new urban area of Xiong’an: a personal promoted plan which will represent a milestone in chinese history and a turning point in China development horizon, leaving a consolidate path and defining a new integrative and sustainable urbanization. Starting from the complexity that surrounds the theme of the Chinese new urbanization, the thesis work focuses on the New Area phenomenon (“What is New Area?” is the first uneasy question); in particular it points to investigate the Xiong’an area as a proper case study. In this optic, the work becomes an investigation tool towards a completely open plan, having to face all the difficulties that a chinese oriented reasearch could have. The informations collected through interviews and site investigations, often contraddictory also due to the uncertainties that surrounds the project,constitute the instruments with which think about the Xiong’an plan and on how the new national aspirations are effectively bringing the country towards a new path or going the same way differently.

BRIDGING Design Unit - Composition | Prof. Michele Bonino In the last decades the asian countries have lived a profound transformation under the influence of the western culture. A global urbanization boosted in urban development of the asian cities applying western models to “non-western” reality, like the chinese cities, obtaining often the ineffectiveness of this approach. Those cities, metropolis, are neither the european or the american ones and they require specific answers based on their own concepts of urban life and organization. The global urbanism is always more failure by its own; instead the rediscovering of traditional notions and methods are always more the way to solve urban situations and issues, moving forward to the Provincialization. The project takes place in the core of the Science city in the New Area of Tianfu in the south perifery of Chengdu, Sichuan provence, with the designing of a viaduct. The majority of time, in asian cities, the viaducts or the pedetrian overpasses are seen as purely functional objects: in the project the bridge is seen as pure marvelous element, in order to create a continuous public space above the water, defined by the people.

PLAYLINE Archmedium International Competition | Finalist project The docks and piers upon the canals have defined the image of the city of Amsterdam over the centuries, consolitading the link between human and water. Aim of the competition is the redevelopment of a disused pier located near the center of the city. Now lose its port utilities, the dock hosts events and defines a green band on the canal used by the population for formal and informal activities. The project points on the construction of a brand new multifunctional center for children encompassing a multitude of programmes and activity; teaching, learning, playing. The proposal is based on the flexibility, preserving the potentiality of the pier, developing a floating based structure program incorating an upgreadable system; a red boardwalk surrounds the pierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s area preserving it and becoming the access point to the raft complex which constitutes the new center. Kindergartens, playgrounds and cultural center are located on platforms forming a floating village, leaving the pier unbuilt and giving the chance to the population to equip it for fair or festival or use it as a public park.

TRIMESH Design unit - Composition | Prof. Paola Gregory Located in the northern area of the city of Turin, “Le Vallette” is one of the most reppresentative neighborhoods of pubblic housing risen in Italy during the 50’s and 60’s of the twentieth century. Core of the Project Unit was the analysis and the new interpretation of the neighborhood, pointing to an invervention of regeneration of the area based on the recognition of the most relevant values of the zone and the possibile ways to face the critical aspects of the settlements. The project focuses on the construction of a multifunctional building, usually called “Casa di Quartiere”, the re-development of a public spaces and the recovering of old buildings. The triangulation of the numerous green areas of the district serves as a conceptual frame, made of imaginary lines, for the development of the project. What is formed is a complex mesh used as inspiration for the ground drawing and modeled in height to shape the coverage of the new building. The center is intended as a pavillion, used as library, gym, laboratory or as a space to host event, all inserted in a park which follows the irregular triangular pattern.

BARCELONETAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S APARTMENTS Design Unit - Composition | Prof. Pierre Alain Croset The project, located in the dense neighborhood of La Barceloneta, is part of a design unit focused on the role of the residential edifices within the city. The project starts from the concept of the building as a medium used in order to create relationships. The condominium is seen as the place where the stories of the people cross, the life takes its course, the quarrels brake out and loves born: each apartments is a story on its own made by the people who live there. The building is structured starting from a ground floor where two retail spaces are integrated in the commercial promenade. From there a central stairs block rises as distibution, thought as a pivotal elements in the definition of neighborhood relationships; a void which runs through the building in its depth that makes possibile a recirculation of air flow, allowing the natural light passage, and on which some opening of the apartments ovelook. The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facades are studied and oriented to maximize the view and guarantee a degree of privacy between the apartments, where a system of brise soleil allows a variable degree of permeability between the flats and the city.

TRIP TOWER Ideas Foreward 24h Competition | Honorable mention If you had the chance to choose between reality and illusion, what would you choose? Why not both? having the opportunity to pass from one to another, living such a real and deceptive experience that you can barely recognize the artificial from the real one. Developed as a pure concept, the project use the skyscraper as an ideal element of connection between two differents level of perception. The towers are intended to form a connected system in order to to allow people in different part of the globe to live a moltitude of experiences, relating reality and illusion through a space declined in architecture. Towers are composed by a series of capsules which are the fulcrum elements of the project: each cell works as a screen that winds you and dips you into the illusion, isolating the people from time and space allowing the subject to live an entirely immersive experience. What was thought to be unattainable becomes tangible; the perfumes and odors synthesized by the complex machinarium connectect to the dome confirm the experience as the sound amplified inside the enviroment.

SUB-URBAN PARK Tube 8x8x300 Conceptual Design Competition | Finalist Project The contemporary urban growth has radically changed the aspect of the cities where, in the majority of the case, the building process has reduced the green areas within the urban tissue making parks and gardens becoming landmarks inside the city. The competition, set in the city of Kunming, aimed to a redesign of an abandoned evacuation passageway. Starting from the thought of the green areas as significant elements within the city the aim of the project is to transform the gallery into a park. The idea is to turn the site into a city landmark, strong and recognizable even if invisible in some way; an oasis where the people could find peace and quite from the chaos of the metropolis, representing an initial element for a green radical resistance to be spread among the urban blocks. A green passageway through the gallery is developed for the entire length of the site, where a rich ecological system is realized in an artificial site developed in a seamless sequence of compressed and open spacee and multiple scenarios are set in order to use the site in different ways where meadows and slopes model the ground crossed by trails

PULPIT Quechua Architecture Competition | Finalist project Along the jagged borders of the Cuicocha Lake a monolithic figure looks towards the volcanic crater. The new observatory is thought as an essential but representative element, ancient as the lake itself. Two dark wooden wall rise up from the terrain, containing a path developed on multiple levels where visitors could take a privileged point of view above the vegetation while progressively moving closer to the laguna. The external structure sustains the obsevatory and the wooden coating define a compression of the view, letting the exerior visible from the strips, focusing on the lake and at the top level a pulpit extends beyond the structure. A step towards void

GOT FUN FAIR Nonarchitecture Competition | Honorable mention In the last eight years no television product like Game of Thrones has so deeply affected the collective imagination, becoming a world wide cultural phenomenon; violence, gore scenes and chopped off heads have entered the common immagination, making the audience addicted to an always more intense escalation of violence. The people ask for blood and and they got what they ask for. “How deeply a media product could influence the audience and the common thinking?” become the question to develop the project and the starting point to re-imagine one of the most known Game of Thrones fortress as if it was a contemporary architecture. The results is the most infamous Red Keep, emblem of power and symbol of atrocity, turned into a perversed theme park crowded by people who are totally blinded to the violence that surround them and rather they are kind of addicted to it. The disrespectfull actions, executions and mass murder are the main events in the park, scheduled by hours and followed by adults and childrens who are keeping in their hands a decapitated Ned Stark’s head baloon.

superMARKET Collaboration | On-going project Still in a preliminary phase, the work consists in the realization of a new shopping center as a part of a commercial extension planned by local enterepreneur. The entire project has to face the restrictive norms imposed by the municipality regarding the maximum surface and the volume or high limitations; to reduce the costs and to shorten the realization time, the structure is intended to be developed on a single floor and to be built entirely with a concrete prefabricaed system. For the external coating, corten steel panels are placed side by side to the concrete to emphasize the industrial nature of the building process. Furthermore the tonal variations of the metal panels add layer to the buildings itself by visibly defining the passage of time on the structure.

CASA G Collaboration in executive phase | Under construction Located in the municipality of Barbaresco within the Langhe hills, declared in 2014 as UNESCO World Heritage, the project consists in the realization of a single family residential unit. Due to the relevance of his location and the merit of the environmental context where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insert, the project takes in account an investigation of the territory; it recall the characteristics of the local vernacular architecture where a simple volumetry is defined and decomposed in order to define new views and perspectives towards the landscape and to adapt the tradition to a more contemporary way of living. The project has been in my personal experience the first tangible approach to the reality of a project, taking part to the executive phase, from tracing to construction. Assisting during the project gave me the chanche to interact with the different stages of the development phase, from daily inspections to the necessity to define new solutions in progress.

A STAIR FOR CASA S Project | Under bending Developed within a renovation project, the stair connects the ground floor of a small residential unit with the mezzazine intended to be used as a master bedroom. Due to the restricted dimension of the dwelling the stair is thought as a slightly invasive element mades of a metal stripe coated with wood: the result is an essential object, simple in its form, which reduce to the essential its impact within the room becoming at the same time a main characterizing element.
