Exploring the architectural value of CLT technology
Year: 2016
SCALE: M
TEAM: w/ L.Pastore and T. Pacassoni
The main goal was to design a single-family housing type with X-LAM system, considering that the technical constructive components should play a decisive role in the achievement of the formal quality. The identified area for the project was an extra-urban context located in Sulzano (BS), a site of sailing but also mountain tradition, recently known for the Floating Piers installation by Christo. From the very starting point, the project has evolved through given constraints which have driven the compositional, technological and functional choices. The legislative and environmental limits were therefore crucial tools to mold the architecture in a less arbitrary way from the overall scale to the detailed design. Constraints: • The user is a family of 4 people • Maximum GFA: 150 sqm. • Maximum Height: 7.50 mt. • Minimum 10 mt. of distance from other buildings, from the boundaries of the lot and from the road. • Porches and lodges: up to 5 sqm of GFA / 100 cubic meters of the residential volume only. • It is forbidden to delete or modify orographical signs, slopes or terracings. • It is forbidden to cut down or damage trees with environmental or scientific value (“Pinus pinaster”). • It is possible to relocate the olive trees (“Olea europaea”). • Every existing tree must be integrated in the design process. • The building must be built on two not-repeatitive floors above ground. • A road will represent the only pedestrian and driveway access to the house. • The panoramic position and the relationship with the trees and the landscape is fundamental. • The project must not involve excavation operations except for the technical systems or the foundations. The project developed from an environmental analysis (1:2000 scale) down to the architectural detail (1:10 scale), mostly focusing on the aspects of feasibility and sustainability and adapting on the characteristics of every member of the client family. In this regard, the 1:10 scale model really allowed a full understanding of the technical and architectural quality of the villa as well as its constructability. However, the final purpose was to create an architecture that could somehow strenghten the sense of immersion inside the nature. For this reason, great attention was paid to the use of trees: as architectural devices, sunshade or wind-screen, or cultivated in the private garden. As the X-lam technology is not yet largely diffuse in the italian context, every stratigraphy has been studied in a very detailed way being aware that this construction system is really beneficial for reaching certain standards of quality and sustainability. Moreover, this construction dry system is made up to be really easy and fast to build.

Design for a green and sustainable evolution of Amsterdam’s hospital
Year: 2019
SCALE: L
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
This project of modernization of the AMC hospital in Amsterdam was the occasion to reflect on a circular approach for the renovation of existing buildings and their environment. As the Netherlands aims to meet the Paris climate deal of total circularity and energy neutrality by 2050, the AMC too strives to be independent from fossil fuels by 2035 and transform into a more effective and pleasant healing environment: the key technical issue was therefore how to convert a building designed in the 70s into a “productive city” (of food and energy) but also a flexible, green and iconic therapeutic building that performs according to future climate objectives and user requirements, while considering the everincreasing power need and energy consumption of a 24/7 running organisation that must remain in full use also during the renovation process. The AMC in Amsterdam is the largest academic hospital in the Netherlands spreading for about half a million square meters of floor space. The various programme (hospital, bed towers and researcheducation) is differently distributed in the overall building ensemble, each one with a tailor-made façade and structure: high-rise buildings are accommodating the patients, while low rise ones contain the hospital and the academic functions. Each storey is then supported by a lower technical storey for the transport of data, water, air and energy. At last, the spaces in between the programmatic volumes create a wide and spread network of public space. The energy agenda of the AMC is rather ambitious: from the current Utility Center (on site power plant) which produces the required 75 GWh (from gas), the complex aims at a state-of-the-art climatic performance achieving (individually controlled) comfort without forgetting reliability. Starting from the concepts of “biophilia”, photosynthesis and monolith, the project addresses the issues related to energy supply, facade and structure through the implementation of a textile “second skin” which works either as second facade or canopy over the public spaces. Through this fabric layer the updated building can exploit natural climate sources such as heat (chimney effect) and light (diffuse, avoid glare) but also collect rainwater and deflect wind. The facade becomes “photosynthetic” thanks to micro-algae liquid which runs inside hoses interwoven within the fabric; the circuit becomes a relevant energy source of biogas considering the extensive surface available and what is more creates a “warm” layer which protects the interior environment. The complex will also produce energy onsite through the installation of other renewable energy systems (solar panels) plugged into the existing plant. The reduced facade load will benefit the structure and will be more suited to the time/usage of each area of the building. Few, new long-lasting materials are inserted (textile), the others are either recycled into new panels and reused onsite, or redistributed according to the diverse programme.

Study for a Metamorphic Bridge on the Rottemeren basin
Year: 2019
SCALE: L
TEAM:
w/ A. Scho and F. Fortich
The Rottemeren is a containment high basin for the river Rotte, located north of Rotterdam in between Bleiswijk and Zevenhuizen. It was created after the surrounding polders were drained and subsequently sunk due to urban settlements and peat bogging. A row of windmills on the east side of the Rottemeren was responsible for draining the polders until 1952, although today only few of them are left. Before being dammed off at both ends, the river originally flowed directly into the Nieuwe Maas in Rotterdam, now only does so via several man-made canals. The site was recently transformed into an easily accessible recreational area of 900 hectares, where various activities take place: water sports, walking, cycling, climbing, camping, fishing and even sunbathing. The attentive mapping process of the national dutch cycling routes revealed the area as a crucial junction in the national bike path from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. This analysis was fundamental towards the final design as the bike infrastructural connection between the two main cities was upgraded, for starters, through the implementation of the bridge and the realization of a more direct and straighter route. Furthermore, taking into account that the area is mostly leisure-oriented and (especially during summer) heavily exploited for water activities, the project had to consider a constant water clearance of 2 meters and the possibility to raise it to 6 m for higher masts as fundamental constraints for the design. The proposed bridge consists of a seven-pieces truss structure, which is bolted on site and fixed to the sunk-in-place concrete foundations, a floating deck composed of hinged modular elements, and one void concrete “pocket” at the opposite side, which allows the deck to slide (up to 2 meters) back and forth over the water. The last panel is specially shaped to fit this pocket thus preventing the deck to be adrift, while a steel flap covers the small gap between the bank and the deck in order to make the surface easy and continuous. When the bridge is “resting”, sunbathing is possible on the deck thanks to the gentle slope on both sides of each panel. The bridge implemented is not just reinforcing and refining the national cycling route but also paying tribute to the heritage of mechanisms and machines of the cultivated Dutch landscape. In fact, on one hand the proposal tries to blend the bridge silhouette with the plain landscape through a continuous floating deck, on the other hand to establish a visual, volumetric and semantic relationship with the landmarks (Eendrachtsmolen 1727) through the introduction of a self-balanced rolling-basculade mechanism. In Greek mythology, Glaucus was a prophetic sea-god - protector of sailors and fishermen - who used to be a fisherman but was transformed into an immortal merman and forced to live forever in the sea for having eaten a magical herb.

About Doel’s Eventual Destruction in the Post-Anthropocene
Year: 2020
SCALE: XL
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT
Within the main geographical contexts of the North Sea and the Scheldt estuary, the Doelpolder area stands out for the conflictual relationships between human settlements, environmental crisis, and man-made infrastructures, which are all paradigms of the so-called Anthropocene era. The site comprises the village of Doel, the natural reserve of Saeftinghe, the nuclear power plant of Doel and the largest dock of the Port of Antwerp in a 2 km long prone-to-flooding area, which is currently facing some anthropic phenomena such as pollution, infrastructural expansion of the harbor and dismantlement of the nuclear power plant. In its process of northbound expansion at the expense of the estuarine territory and the polder-land, the Port of Antwerp has turned Doel into a ghost town by means of expropriation and economic pressure, while the flora and fauna of Saeftinghe are endangered by the alteration of their brackish habitat caused by pollution and water level rise due to both infrastructural growth and climate change. This everlasting dichotomy between natural and anthropized processes poses here the dualistic problem of extinction/preservation and if/how can architecture depict a self-healing survival scenario for this specific site in the Post-Anthropocene, attempting at climate change mitigation and nature metabolism at the same time. The project first addresses the aforementioned issues within a regional strategic and energetic plan which foresees the “de-polderization” and “de-nuclearization” of the area, its transformation into a controlled tidal zone for soil and water recovery and the simultaneous expansion of the natural reserve. On the architectural scale, the building here implemented is a “knowledge ark” with laboratories and academic-related spaces, a facility which can exploit not only the world-level Port infrastructure for an optimized logistic (coldchain) but also the proximity of the natural reserve and the former agricultural vocation of the area. This repository building consists of a seed vault and a frozen zoo for the conservation of species through cryopreservation technique, but most importantly is an architectural object designed to resist or accommodate time and territorial transformations, for guaranteeing a possible rebirth of both nature and culture. In order to do so, the building is physically linked to the water-level-rise process: when/if the level of the Scheldt rises above 2 meters (storm surge scenario), the whole area will be flooded and any human survival unlikely. In these circumstances, the water will trigger the self-destruction of the facility, spreading the seeds contained in the vault all over the area and thus favouring the rebirth of nature in unpredictable climatic conditions. In the end, the Seed Vault/ Frozen Zoo constitutes, like Doel, the nemesis of the Port but, also like Doel, will eventually evolve into a ruin in case of defeat of humans in the fight against, pollution and climate change.
