This portfolio is a resume of works that i did during my studies at the Politecnico di Milano and at the College of Art (University of Edinburgh) and during some workshops in Italy organised by associations and different universities.

My interest for the architecture meant like a process to develop urbanity defined my view of architectural sciences as the research of solutions in the building constructions to improve the quality of people’s life in specific social and environmental contests.

During my stay in Milan, my work experiences have been influenced by my commitment in the university research, teaching as assistant professor and working in a theatre as assistant director at scenography’s projects.

Those experiences helped me to realize that technology, art and environment ultimately synergize within the study of architecture.

According to the current building industry trends and the existing building stock, I consider that environmental design issues are mean points of the contemporary architectural research and projects.

The studies in Edinburgh have been fundamental to explore architecture as environmental, social and economical challenge to guarantee better architecture quality for the users and the community and to reduce CO2 emissions according to the sustainable agenda.

The task was to design a brand new village, enclosed and self sufficient, endowed with its own public spaces and with the all citizen necessary services guaranteeing environmental sustainability, heritage conservation, infrastructure efficiency, placemaking, “social access,” transit oriented development and human scale.

EM IA

As in the ancient towns, through the north-south axis tracking used for housing development in the fields, in a modern reinterpretation of the founding process of a town, these axes become cicle lines, driveways and pedestrian trails.

The various streams used to irrigate tue fields become the theme of development of a public space.

THE GENERATIVE PRINCIPLE: THE VIA EMILIA AND THE GEOGRAPHIC BACKING

The gradual zooming from the landscape to the architectural buildings has led to the estabilishment of a residential block characterized by different types of housing.

1 allotment: 10x20 m

Through modular structures and specific timber frame cladding the ivy can take place on the north façade giving to the indoor space advantages in terms of wind protection and to the enclosed modules extra insulation. The people can enjoy the terraces with ivy cladding and gardeners can take care about them.

Seagulls and birds in those green walls can find a advantageous habitat where to nest without interfere with the indoor human activities.

OBSERVATORY

The observatory is a landmark that remarks a visual relationship between people and landscape and the crucial position of the project site among different ecosystems. The observatory is a permeable structure in which timber and ivy define an advantageous habitat for birds and seagulls that use to stay on high points of the buildings to nest or look for quarry. Some balconies offer to the visitors a panoramic view to the city and the park or to the docks and the North Sea.

2.5 hectares land for 93 allotments can be provided to Leith citizens in order to develop local food production (carrots, potatoes, onions, strawberries, leeks, blackcurrant) and land remediation. People have the chance to grown their own food or sell it in the market. To avoid that birds and foxes destroy gardener’s work, fences will protect the lands, and feeding birds modules can integrate the landscape. A tree line around the site will protect the area from the salty wind coming from the sea. Cultivation wastes can be used to produce compost.

Beekeeping activity requires good knowledge in managing hives and extract honey.

Being an activity for specialists, it is in a separated area from the main building.

Beekeepers have the opportunity to produce for them and sell honey in the market. Honey made by urban bees is extremely good because of the rich plant variety available in the surroundings.

DAILY PROGRAMME DEPENDING ON USERS WILDLIFE HABITAT A dedicated zone on the land guests the wildlife in order to create a more reserved habitat for foxes where they can burrow their den.

The 2 hectares land of trees and shrubs will also provide part of the needed horticultural wastes for produce energy by a biomass boiler during the winter.

The scenario of Appleton Tower situated in Singapore opens the looking glass to sustainable solutions that not only respond to the specific characteristics of the site, but also follow the principles of the local vernacular architecture in order to enhance individual comfort control systems.

Furthermore, in accordance with Steward Brand’s theory of a building’s shearing levels of change, the facade systems are composed of a series of individual elements, which not only become easily assembled and disassembled but also allow for replacement and future addition of other elements.

The Malay house is often oriented to face Mecca (East-West direction) for religious reasons.

The east-west orientation minimizes areas exposed to solar radiation.

THE MALAYSIAN HOUSE

TOPIC

Through the process it is identified the importance of incorporating these aspects into the project, subsequently rooting within the building a sense of place and identity, as well as adequate response systems that would allow for a more adaptive and flexible usage of space and its components.

ORIENTATION

The elongated open plans allow easy passage of air and good cross ventilation. There are minimal interior partitions which restrict all movement in the house.

Roof spaces are properly ventilated by the provision of ventilation joints and panels in the roof construction.

Ventilation at body level is the most vital area for comfort. The Malay house allows ventilation at body level by having many full-length openable windows and doors at body level.

APPLETON TOWER Appleton Tower in its original state presents a series of oportunities when thinking about Singapore. After analysing the interior organisation, we found it possible to generate a more efficient microenvironment in terms of the building’s layout, coupled with the inclusion of traditional construction solutions, consequently enhancing the functional and comfort requirements of an office or university building.

Typical plan

STRATEGIES

Subsequently, adaptability and immediately flexible solutions become the core of the proposal, in accordance with multiple sustainable design discourses.

At heart, the proposal seeks to optimize the overall performance and potentialise the user’s ability to modify and adjust his or her surroundings to suit their most basic needs.

A thorough analysis of site in terms of climate, resources and tradition, gave us a base on which we could mould a coherent and strong proposal.

Special attention is paid to the roof in order to protect the indoor spaces from the solar radiation and the frequent storms.

SEASONAL FACTORS

PROFESSORS: John Brennan, Remo Pedreschi, Ranald Boydell

ROOFS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WALLS

Use lightweight construction in wood and other natural materials with low thermal capacity so that few amounts of heat and cold is transmitted into the house during the day and the night. The attamp roof is an excellent thermal insulation.

Louvres can serve as a wind barrier, decreaseing the speed of the air coming inside the building. The system also has fixed open louvres at high and low levels, always allowing the air to circulate freely. This way, the outside air comes in at the bottom and the exausted air, extracted by a fan is expelled at the top.

CEILING PANELS Acoustic perforated ceiling board (topakustik topperfo panel 2.04 x 0.96 mt)

louvre

It is a porous gradient ceiling that forces the air to enter through the end of the room, guaranteeing homogeneous ventilation throughout the space. The kind of ceiling chosen responds to two other issues: the first is to direct the air directly through the fans and the second is to protect the working space from the noise produced by the fans, due to the acoustic nature of the material.

dessiccant filter to regnerate with exausted air The air crosses the ceiling that has a progressive porous surface, which forces the current of air to reach the back area of the room.

dryer air incoming humid air

DEHUMIDIFIER silica filter panels RD Silica gel 20 kg/m3 - dimensions 57x70 cm Silica gel (SO2) is an inert chemical and a non-toxic material. It is able to dehumidify the incoming air up to 20 gH2O/kg dry air with an infinite life in terms of the ability to absorb or desorb moisture. It is possible to regenerate the panels through the hot outgoing exhausted air. The material can have a cyclical rotation by interchanging the eight panels in each room between top and bottom every 90 days.

EXTRACTOR FANS 14’’ 220 V - 50 Hz. 1 room has 4 fans.

The use of fans responds to two demands. The first is to guarantee air ventilation by a negative pressure in the indoor spaces, and the second is to regenerate the dessicant panels because extracted air will be warmer than the air coming in. The need for fans is also to regulate the interior air velocity in spite of different temperatures and different dynamic pressures on the façade.

CLOSED LOUVRES AND CLOSED PANELS

FACADE WITHOUT LOUVRES We were interested in comparing the valuesin lux with or without our facade proposal. With this analysis we found a higher percentage of luxes inside the space, althouth the circulation space is helping by buffering some of the radiation.

OPEN LOUVRES AND CLOSED PANEL With this analysis we found that the closed panel with open louvres allows he most natural light into the spaces, out of the three presented facade options. This is due to the distance of the facade plane (at 1.80m from the interior room facade), as well as the angle of the louvres, wich allows direct sunlight to enter the building’s circulation spaces.

CLOSED LOUVRES AND CLOSED PANEL OPEN PANELS When the panel and louvres are closed, we

receive the least amount of natural light inside the space. A partial amount of artificial lighting may be progressivelly required towards the back of the room. This type of scenario, however, responds adequatelly to other factors such as wind and rain protection.

SUNLIGHT: analysis by Ecotect

OPEN PANELS Although it would seem this fourth option would be the most efficient in providing high amounts of natural light for the interior spaces (because of its openess), it seems that since the facade plane is being virtually extruded even further away from the interior facade, less naural light is being able to reach the class spaces. It can vary, however, by rotating the louvres in a favorable position within the open panel.

REFUGEE’S ITALIAN PROGRAMME BY STEPS FROM THE ARRIVE TO THE END OF THE ASYLUM

LITTLE ACCOMODATION AND CHARIATABLE ASSOCIATIONS? Effects MEDIA IMAGE: Project’s promotion for an opened and multicultural society. Events and exhibitions in the refugees centres organizated to involve the comunity in knowing and acting with and for refugees. There are different productive and sensibilization activities fo refugees.

The little centres are often well managed by qualified people.

LITTLE REFUGEES ACCOMODATIONS AND LITTLE SERVICE CENTRES WELL CONNECTED AMONG THEM

REFUGEES: fast integration, space appropriation, contacts with the city, efficient individual job, education, social and integration plans.

REFUGEES CENTRES: MEDIUM SIZE OF ACCOMODATION CENTRES AND SEPARATED SERVICE WELL CONNECTED AMONG THEM

The proposal for an urban action strategy, considering Milan context, wants to develop a method of action through which the refugee from host in the city becomes active part of it.

The strategy aims to create new urban settings, ranging in public areas and disused sites in the city center, stimulating the imagination for a shared creativity: creative citizens, already included in the territory, are given the opportunity to manage space and innovative projects, while temporary citizens, refugees have the opportunity to work in contact with a reality of professional excellences.

TOPIC In the last years, the intensive revolution in technology, economy and social habits have forced the existing building stock to swiftly adapt to these changes in order to maintain its utility in the built environment.

The use of demountable components, accessible systems, user control of the space and passive design solutions will be shown as valuable design principles for more sustainable adaptable and flexible spaces in the specific case study and generally in the context of educational buildings.

Looking at sustainability as a key point in the adaptation process, different feasible future uses of the space are subject of the interviews with ECA staff members and tested through building simulation models. The aim is to record the achievable improvements of the existing space through passive design strategies to provide a comfortable indoor environment while containing the operational costs and CO2 emissions.

The proposed work looks at educational buildings as the typology to analyse with the aim to evaluate the opportunities that design for deconstruction, adaptability and flexibility offer to existing building stock or to new building design to limit environmental impact and optimize the performance according to a sustainable agenda.

The “Hole in the Ground” space (as it is known colloquially) at Edinburgh College of Art is used as a vehicle through which to explain these issues.

The sky lit space has good daylight levels, not optimum for studio activities or exhibitions which require, according to CIBSE, an illuminance range of 300-500 lux. It is suitable as well for auditorium use.

Shading 2/3 of the skylights it is possible to achieve a variable level of lighting. It is suitable for conferences, or performances (depending on the type).

Shading all the skylights it is possible to use HIG as a dark room for cinema projections or performances depending on the type).

The adopted strategy of “Earth Therapy” project was to save the old exhisting buildings replacing all the interior walls with new ones made with adobe constructive technique.

The interior structure is indipendent from the exterior one in order to make easier future extentions or refurbishments.

The hospital wards are organized according to the uses and the types of deseases to care. The ward for infectious deseases is separated from the one for long hospitalizations and from the maternity one.

The main character of the project is the landscape. The local population is used to live the exterior spaces more than the interior ones, then, was really important to give a better organization to the exteriors making them comfortable: the hall and the public spaces have shelters and trees for make shadow during the warm days.

The ground is a succession of terraces with a system of roofed ramps that connect the different levels.

Important elements of the project are the triage and the services for guest’s families (baths, kitchens, wells) because is necessary to make familiar a place like an health centre arising again a life model close to the local culture.

TOPIC

07

The district of “Case Nuove”, situated in the town of Rosarno, in the last few decades has become a residential area populated by a multi-ethnical community.

From an urban aspect the neighbourhood is characterized by a poorly equipped public areas.

Public spaces are represented by the roads, in which it often seems very difficult to recognise a clear hierarchy between driveways and pedestrian areas.

The chosen project area is a disused water tower. This place is abandoned but potentially it could become a public space.

The main goals were: to redesign public areas, through a multidisciplinary approach, developing an interaction between disciplines like city planning, art, landscape designing and urban design; to design and manufacture equipment and art installations using recycled materials and scrap waste.

Moving from this assumptions, the disused water tower area was divided in five slices for different actions.

I worked in the lounge slice. The objective was to create a living room and bring inside this area the habitant’s habit to sit with their chairs in the street during the hot summer evenings chatting.

For this, on the wall beside the slice there is the sketch of a living room and the sits (made with recicled pallets) form a circle around a table leaving space for other chairs (then other people).

During the work, habitants came helping us and bringing us food and ideas. Their collaboration was the best result of the workshop.

TUTORS: Ecosistema Urbano, Ivan Tresoldi, Francesco Careri

POLYSTYRENE BOX

TOPIC The workshop was organized to make an advertising campaign for the revaluation of neglected spaces of the city and make aware the inhabitnts of Ferrara about the state of abandon of some public spaces.

The programme was to make a land art installation for one day to represent the potiential change of specific places in Ferrara.

NYLON PEBBLE

GREEN WEEDS

MATERIALS FOR THE INSTALLATION

ADVERTISING “IF THE RIVER CANT GO INSIDE THE CITY, THE CITY COMES INSIDE THE RIVER” TO PROMOTE THE REVALUATION OF THE “DARSENA” AS A PUBLIC SPACE

I chose the river and in particular the old harbour called the “Darsena”: a place where people usually go running or canoeing.

This part of river is dirty and the weeds create an uniform green cover. In my group we wanted to make a joke about this dirt and look to the green weeds as a green garden where live.

Then the installation was to populate the green garden with little white houses and with white ballons to make the little houses more visible from both the sides of the river and to catch the attention of pedestrians walking on the river side.

WORKSHOP

Besides we made fliers to give in Ferrara main streets with spots about how the harbour can have a new life if the citizens repopulate the space and contribute for a better safeguard of the landscape.

The result was that curious people came to see the installation and to discuss about the future of this urban area.
