01 Herta and Paul Amir Building

Architectural Design and Drafting II 2012 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Benedetta Ferrari, Francesca Mulazzani, Giulia Fanin Softwares: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop

The Herta and Paul Amir Building is a new wing of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art built by the architect Preston Scott Cohen in 2011. This exam required the use of AutoCAD and 3d modelling softwares in order to obtain graphic arts of a famous architecture.

02 The shelter

Technical Architecture I 2013 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Benedetta Ferrari, Elia Sargenti, Francesco Pagani, Guido Bruno Softwares: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop

This exam required the use of a quadrilateral as beginning shape to design an outdoor shelter. The technical restriction was the use of structural continuity for the model that had to be verified with load tests.

03 Archiscope

Architecture and Architectural Composition I 2013 Softwares: Revit Architecture, Photoshop

The aim of this project was to design a new complex of apartments and offices instead of a gas station. It was the first composition exercise and different restrictions and site aspects had to be taken into account, from giving value to the view on the downtown of Bologna, to an efficient inner partition of the apartments.

04 Ex Caserma Mazzoni

Urban Planning 2014 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Caterina Morganti, Luigia Cipriani, Francesca Mulazzani, Giulia Fanin, Benedetta Ferrari Softwares: AutoCAD, Artlantis, Photoshop

The purpose of this exam was to suggest a urban renovation for Parisio area in the Santo Stefano district of Bologna. The first part consisted in the analysis and overview on the area characterized by an old barrack. Later, the urban planning normative was studied, in order to elaborate a rearrangement of the area. 11

05 The preservation of the memory

Architecture and Architectural Composition II 2014 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Benedetta Ferrari Softwares: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit Architecture, Illustrator

The project has been developed after the earthquake occurred in Emilia-Romagna in 2012. The main topic was to revitalize the ruins with the creation of a tower, the historical symbol of the countryside in this region. The tower is thought as a viewpoint towards the countryside. A cylinder made of wooden listels supports wooden boxes hosting recreational activities and open balconies. The whole construction acts as a 360Â° eye on the surroundings and behaves as a social collector. 13

06 San Giovanni renovation

Technical Architecture II 2015 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Said Quqa, Cristiano Benfenati, Elena Soli, Francesca Mulazzani Softwares: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Cinema 4D, Photoshop

The objective was to design a new arrangement for a group of buildings in San Giovanni in Persiceto, a small town near Bologna. It was important to maintain formal coherence with the surroundings, but at the same time, propose different innovative structures as platform-frame and concrete blocks.

07 Steel and Concrete Structures Construction Technique 2015

Softwares: AutoCAD, grafiCAD, vcaslu

The task of this exam was to design the structure of a steel warehouse and the skeleton of a reinforced concrete building. The regulation followed in order to calculate the structures is the italian NTC 2008 that follows the Eurocode. Concerning the reinforced concrete structure, moment and shear stress diagrams have been elaborated in order to calculate the required steel reinforcements. 17

2 ∅10

Filicori Zecchini is an internationally known coffee brand. The task was to design a flagship store that could promote the label and show its value. It was important to fix a principle that had to guide the evolution of the concept and shape. The Seattle Central Library with its in-between spaces and ‘The Oblique Function’ by Paul Virilio and Claude Parent were the main influences on the project. 19

09 Villa Gina

Architectural Restoration 2016 Project Team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Elia Sargenti, Enrico Bruni, Giacomo Ramini, Guido Bruno Softwares: AutoCAD, Rhinoceros,VRay Renderer, Photoshop

Villa Gina was built by Attilio Muggia in 1900 and it is located in Borgo Panigale, near Bologna. Several steps led to the restoration project of the Villa: the metric survey, the photographic reconstruction and the analysis of the deterioration.

Sustainable Design 2016 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Giulia Fanin, Fabrizio Ungaro Softwares: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhinoceros, Vray Renderer, Ecotect Analysis, Microsoft Excel

This exam required the elaboration of a an energy and architectural renovation project for the Bologna Case Study of ABRACADABRA Project, that has received funds from Horizon 2020, in order to verify the effectiveness of the add-ons strategy. Volumetric additions on existing buildings are useful in order to counterbalance the investments needed for the energy renovation of the building stock. Different volumetric and economic scenarios were developed in order to widen the field of action of the investment.

11 Guest House

Restoration and Preservation of Buildings 2016 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Giulia Fanin, Francesco Pagani Softwares: AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Vray Renderer, Microsoft Excel

The aim was to design a structural, architectural and energy renovation for a building that once hosted a stall and a barn; also a fire escape project was elaborated. The project included technical details of reinforcement of the existing brick wall structure and a new side roof covering new stairs connecting the ground with the first floor, giving shape to a Guest House for visiting professors in the University of Bologna. 25

12 Bastia

Urban Planning Techniques 2016 Project team: Maria Sofia Pitulis, Giulia Fanin, Cristiano Benfenati, Said Quqa, Elena Soli, Francesca Vecchi Softwares: AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Cinema 4D

The project consisted in the review of the urban planning normative for the area of Casalecchio di Reno, near Bologna. The objective was to design a new assessment, concerning new green areas and new functions for the buildings. Moreover, an economic valuation and a participated plan for the renovation were elaborated.

13 Energy and Architectural Renovation towards nZEB The Dutch Scheveningen Case in the ABRACADABRA Project Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thesis 2017 Softwares: AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, Vray Renderer, Microsoft Excel, Ecotect Analysis, Illustrator, Photoshop Internship at TUDelft OTB Department - Research for the built environment Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment Link https://issuu.com/mariasofiapitulis/docs/master_s_thesis

ABRACADABRA Project proposes the add-ons strategy in order to counterbalance the energy renovation investments on the building stock. It foresees the creation of new volumes, as faĂ§ade extensions, rooftop additions or assistant buildings, under the nZEB target. The Dutch Case Study is located near the Port of The Hague, and it is composed by five neighbouring buildings (block A) and one detached (block B). The biggest criticality of the area is the lack of permeable soil and the buildings are all made of brick wall structure. 29

Wood fiber insulation is added to the existing roofs, floors and walls so that the energy label changes from G to A. Different sustainability and economic parameters were fixed as main guide lines for the project. The main goals were the creation of permeable soil and the addition of value to the existing. As for the economic perspective, two approaches were considered in order to widen the field of action of the investment: the rent and the sale. N

The structure of the additions is thought as a glue laminated and cross laminated timber structure for, respectively, pillars and beams and wall and floor panels. The entire building process is characterized by prefabrication and flexibility, in fact, an abacus has been created in order to obtain different faรงade configurations. Personalization can be obtained by the addition of balconies or winter gardens to the southern faรงade of the rooftop addition.
