If I put a sheet of paper in space, I already divide it into
parts and give it colour due to the relationship between the light on the paper and the surrounding one.
And already I start my story and already I start my acro-
batics. So I put sheets of paper next to sheets of paper, or
threads near wires and I can do other things: take the space and divide it, order it - put grey silences in the middle of
cascades of light, cut it with blacks and make it deep holes,
make it fly or make it weigh: I can do every acrobatics with space like musicians with sound. I can play the violin or
play the drum - I can play the violin and the drum along with other things.
The question is only that I know how to move the space there is no formula - to take this matter from below and raise it, set it in motion and tell you a story where men
discover that the matter has been won, that it has given
meaning to it , a soul: then men are gradually led into this adventure and they pale and they slowly bend.

Advance architectural design studio Theme: Strategy for Inujima island, Okayama (JP) Date: 2018 Typology: Academic Supervisor: Kazuyo Sejima, Jonas Elding
The aim of the project is to find a new function for the little island of Inujima, located in the Seto inland sea of Japan, where Kazuyo Sejima has designed the Art House Project. Our proposal is to transform the island into and art school, following the latest art trend of the island. The school is composed by several building that are connected by a path that run through the whole island crossing the main village. The architectural concept takes inspiration from the existing quarries of the island, indeed the ground becomes a part of the building through the process of excavation that is used in different way to obtain architectural elements of each building that are eventually covered by a light structure. Another important feature is the sensitiveness to the natural landscape which we try to exploit using reflective material to hide in the environment and transparent or semitransparent one in order to embrace the nature and the sea. We Have designed several building, some are strategies and other have been further developed; here I’m showing some of the buildings we have developed. 4

Design Principle merging manifactured and natural landscape
The island is famous for its stone, which was plenty used in the construction of several historical Japanese buildings. The constellation of quarries is the result of decades of extraction process. We start from this manufactured landscape, turning it into the design principle of our intervention. All the building are rooted to the ground and then covered with a lighter structure. . We also wanted to be sensitive to the natural environment, therefore we used reflective or transparent materials in order to dissolve the building within the landscape. We tested different materials and eventually decided to use two main materials: for the base and containing walls we choose a smooth white concrete mixed both with finer stone aggregates extracted from the island (5mm to 1cm), and a powder obtained from the same aggregates which give the material the colour of the natural stones; for the facade we choose to cover the light structure with reflective aluminium sheets.

Radicarsi (2nd Prize) Theme: Villard:19 - Urban regeneration of Alcamo Marina, (IT) Date: 2018 Typology: Academic Supervisors: Guido Morpurgo, Annalisa de Curtis, Andrea Gritti
From 1999, Villard is an architectural travelling seminar, organized each academic year by a team of selected Italians and foreign schools of architecture. The aim of the seminar is to design in a specific area proposed by public administrations. For this reason the seminar is strictly related to the complexity of each territory. The theme of Villard:19 is the reconstruction of the coastal landscape of Alcamo Marina, the coastal fraction of the municipality of Alcamo located in the south-west of Sicily. Alcamo Marina is predominantly a recent district, that was born in the late 20th century out of a unregulated period of illegal construction that has cemented large part of the southern italian coast. Many of the former illegal houses are now regular due to “building amnesty� that succeded through the decades promoted by different government. We started analyzing the territory both in the morphology and in its usage. We found out that the privatization is widely spread into the whole area, and both exploited by residential buildings and agriculture plots. The topography was another fundamental fact, therefore we begun making a model of the territory in scale 1:10000 in order to evidence the feature of such a complex territory. The historical city of Alcamo was another important element that we examined because it is the result of a very accurate planning, especially into the medieval core that has a strict cartesian footprint. After many considerations we have developed a strategy and focused on the design of some specific building that has an important role in the general vision we have proposed. The strategy is based on two new systems that follow some of the natural crests of the territory and connects Alcamo to Alcamo Marina, trying to transform these two entities in a unitary element.

Museum of the Mediterranean new functions for the public city
The museum of the Mediterranean is located where the central crest climbs down to the sea. This is an important area because it is a new anchor point that links Alcamo to Alcamo Marina. The architecture is formally influenced by the topography, indeed it is composed by several terraces excavated by the exhibition rooms of the museum. When the museum meet the Meditarranean sea, the main volume is intersected by a linear one that provides beach facilities and a new train station.

Market the edge of the historic city
The project of the public market is located at the south-western border of Alcamo, in front of the historic walls that contain the old city. The aim is to mitigate the defined border with the agricoltural landscape. All the different functions of the market are organized in a series of enclosed and outdoor spaces that follow a clear structural scheme made by a repetition of bearing walls. The reference is the “Baglio�, a vernacular architecture for agricoltural production that has a courtyard typology with thick perimeter even though it’s a building that stand alone in the countryside. The Market and the landscape contaminate each other and generate a new gate to the city of Alcamo.

As Found Theme: Kindergaarten + Hamam + Pool; Milan, Italy Date: 2018 Typology: Academic Supervisor: Giancarlo Floridi
The theme of the Design Studio was to design a building with an hybrid function in Milan. Our project merge a kindergarten, an Hammam and a swimming pool in the same building located in Sant’Abbondio street in the periphery of Milan. We started to reflect on the ancestors of our project, finding historical typologies that hosted similar functions. We started from the typology of the Roman baths which were complex that contained many functions, from leisure to learning and that actually represent the real ancestor of the Hammam, which could be considered a rework of the Roman baths in a religious key. Finally after the first part of research we choose our typology and started to rework in in relation to the site and the some architectural features we wanted to stress. The Sant’Abbondio area is a residential area full of post war social housing complex, some of them very high and all brick coated. The issue was to find a good solution in a very hard plot like ours, which is not surrounded by any quality feature. Our proposal is a building that can be considered as a neighbourhood device, because of its functions and opens spaces that acts has catalysts for social life of the area. Since most of the building around the plot are high tower we have considered the roof as the fifth facade of the build and the most important; indeed the roof of the building is a playground for the children that face the outdoor park and the inner courtyard that is a new a more intimate space of the neighbourhood. The reworks the austerity of the surrounding facade but at the other hand is very open toward the inner courtyard, therefore exploiting a double urban attitude. Finally the Hammam is a stand alone building that acts also as the background of the inner square and breaks the courtyard scheme in two points.

Building G Theme: preservation of modern heritage Harar Neighborhood; Milan, Italy Date: 2017 Typology: Academic Supervisor: Andrea Canziani
The theme of the architectural preservation studio is to face question the value of the modern heritage and the right techniques for its preservation. Modernist building show a set of prefabricated materials that are easy to perish and that show many problems even though their life span is short if compared to traditional heritage. The studio work comprehend a mix of practical and theoretical research that strive to question what of those building has an historical value therefore need to be preserved for the future generation. We worked on the Harar neighbourhood in Milan, one of the first social housing project for the city, that belonged to INA Casa program which aim to reconstruct Italy and improve the dwelling condition in after world war II. Many important architects of the time took part to the design of the neighbourhood as Giò Ponti, Figini and Pollini, Bottoni etc. Our case study was building G, designed by less known local architects, Reggio and Tevarotto. Even though the architects were not the most know ones, the building is one of the most iconic of the district, because of its rationalist facade and most of all because it’s the most close to the San Siro stadium. The approach is very sensitive because is based on site survey, archive research and has involved many dweller, veterans and fresh, which helped us to reconstruct the history of the building and on the other hand to image its future development. As final result beside the architectural interventions, we have also produced a photographic project that collects the vibe of the people/building/ area and a video project that collect the words of the dwellers. The project acts on many part of the buildings; here I present the main one, which is the refurbishment of the ground floor that in the original idea was a free walk through space that was connecting all the building of the neighbourhood, and today is just a neglected fenced area.

Reactivating the permeable courtyard
Restoring the cultural significance of the ground floor An attempt to give back the residents the value of a real courtyard, as it was experienced in the early life of the building, but adjusted to new lifestyles. To achieve this value, four interventions can be defined : Changing the access to the building to south; replacing the storage rooms on the perimeter; bringing new collective areas; generating a unique paved area.

Fading Borders Theme: Strategy for the public city of Milan Date: 2017 Typology: Academic Supervisor: Nicolò Privileggio
Main purposes of public city existence is its own possibility to be available for everyone. On contrary to that, today’s situation is based on clear distinction between different statuses of people. Here, we considering both the residential ones and immigrants. The first issue that we are dealing with is the money and housing problem from where all other problems come from. Facing those problems requires the variety of approaches. The most difficult approach was understanding the social position of immigrants. From beginning the final result was clear – the integration. Steps that leading to this goal represent the complexity of possibilities and needs. In order to create the clear image of situation that is present and The one in the future, the observation and understanding of the immigrants functioning is inevitable. Analysing the mentioned is the main issue but in relation to the situation of the rest of the citizens. In order to achieve that, mapping of the services for immigrants and the ones that make public city is the next step. This part of research led to overlapping of two completely different situations and to creation of new perspective areas that can be used in new purposes. Culture mix is one of the ways to achieve mentioned goal and succeeds in integration of immigrants and residential ones. Regard to the city and areas around, all datas show that the biggest density of both immigrants and refugees is mainly in the city of Milan. Considering that, we strive to generate a new network of public city for these categories extending the notion of public city to every individual belonging to different ethnicity of the city of Milan .

Cadaveri Eccellenti Theme: A strategy for illegal settlements, Alcamo Marina (IT) Date: 2019 Typology: Academic Supervisor: Matteo Umberto Poli
The interest in the issue of illegal housing is focused on the analysis of the phenomenon as a social fact, or “historical document� of a process that brings into play practices, the territory and actors in a given historical period. The dichotomy legality/illegality, usually used as the main line of interpretation of illegal building, will not be our guideline as a simplification of a process that in its historical evolution puts into crisis the dichotomy itself. This research, on the other hand, aims to highlight the contradiction and complexity of the phenomenon itself, its multiple causes and solutions, through a multidisciplinary perspective capable of historicizing the process by focusing on the Sicilian coasts. The coastal landscape dominated by endless and disordered agglomerations of small houses is part of the contemporary Mediterranean coastal landscape, as are the wild coasts, the ancient historical cities on the sea and the tourist resorts. Also Sicily, therefore, contributes to the image of a continuum of cement which, in various forms and types, has irreversibly changed the Mediterranean coast. However, if one exceeds the romantic attitude for what has been, one can realize that, however, this landscape offers the opportunity to be rethought; a challenge that is not exclusively the prerogative of urban planners and architects, as it was in the second half of the 1900s, but of all those categories of professionals who can contribute to a change through their contribution; because the project in these places is transversal, it exceeds the categories, or perhaps mitigates them. The design strategy is based on the analysis and reinterpretation of the local architectural tradition, especially looking to the city of Alcamo. Re-reading the tissue of the historical city of Alcamo can help to highlight some principles of the public space that today seem forgotten, overwhelmed by the most cruel privatization. Modernity has not been able to relate to the the territory, but we can still refer to the past, drawing its settlement principles and reusing them to respond to today’s necessities.
