WORKING EXPERIENCE June 2011 - Mar 2013
Doepel Strijkers - Rotterdam (NL) architect At Doepel Strijkers I could approach a range of topics and design situations which is highly representative of the time we are living: urban design in the existing city in order to make it climate-proof, resilient and sustainable; projects of so-called social design, in which the business case and the viability plan is as important as design features for the success of the intervention; conversion and reuse of existing buildings, which undergo changes in programme, reducing their ecological footprint but enhancing inherent quality. I had the chance to work on all the phases of the design process producing materials ranging from drawings and diagrams to videos and models. I improved my computer skills and developed new ones from rendering to GIS data processing. Very often I had to personally deal with clients, suppliers, advisors and reasearch partners.
Feb 2010 - Feb 2011
Defacto Architectuur en Stedenbouw - Amsterdam (NL) intern + assistant designer During my time at Defacto, I had the chance to expand my knowledge about waterrelated urban issues both on a design and research level. The period was quite rich especially for what concerns the variety of experiences I could have besides working in a young and dynamic office: research in partnership with universities and cultural institutions, visit to the site of Europe’s most advanced projects related to the topic we were working on, lectures and conventions, competitions, publications.
Feb 2008 - July 2008
Sergio Pascolo Architects - Venice ( I ) intern As an intern I took part to the production of materials for an international competition aimed to re-think the city centre of a Finnish city and to the conversion of a monumental building. Sustainability issues were dealt with at different scales in both cases.
