PROFILE Architecture student at 4th year of 5 in MA degree, passionate in investigating various contemporary issues, strongly believer into the importance of dialogue and team-working. Experienced various educational and working contexts, trying to build a critical vision of facts and a broader pespective about contextualization and developing of the projects.
EDUCATION Università di Ferrara, Architecture degree Dedicately participating to the student career, I’m currently trying to develop both a solid professional preparation and an inquisitive approach to the several themes proposed. A.A. Visiting School, Berlin Urban Phoenix The involvement in this experience gave me a very significant boost to really commit to discover new themes and to try finding effective solutions. A number of valuable lectures and tutorials and an inclusive environment changed my way of watching at problems.
EMPLOYMENT HISTORY Freelance Growing in a family of furniture craftmen offered me a constant stimulating environment, in which I learned crucial aspects of the work. This brought me to try to work indipendently and relate with other companies, to learn more about various sectors linked to architecture. Internship, O.R.A. Ingegneria e Architettura The internship in a medium-size integrated studio put me inside the reality of the profession. I activley participated to the company’s projects, collaborating to the interior design of spaces.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL COMMITMENTS Student’s Institute Representative - District’s Councillor Both these experiences taught me how to engage in constructive dialogue with very different people, fairly negotiating decisions to achieve higher and long-term objectives.

COMACCHIO
In the Architectural Project Studio Class III the proposed theme was the settlement of a community in an abandoned former monastery in Comacchio, a peculiar small town inside the delta of Po river. The town is part of a complex and interesting system of cities in the Nort-Eastern part of Italy. It has an history of stratifications occured throughout the centuries, all having in common a strong relationship with one site-specific element: Water.
Water is vital and its management is more and more important/relevant in environmental matters. The coexistence with water is something strongly rooted in local inhabitants’ lives to the point that the vast majority of social exchanges and interactions depend on water itself. In fact, this resource gives job to a consistent amount of people, especially in the food manifacturing sector, one of the excellence of the city.
11
Becoming aware of this reality, the first idea was to suggest a community of food reasearchers, cooperative operators and people interested in getting knowledges about local cultivation and cooking techniques. A community of this kind hence needed a diversified program able to provide cultivation, research, learning, housing, exibition and administration spaces. The plot consisted in a combination of juxtposed and heavily damaged buildings and the absence of a “spaced-ordinator”. That’s why the proposal tried to manage the space with a canal grid, even providing cultivation water supply, and to insert the new buildings mostly on the footprint of the old ones, while preserving the church’s facade and the bell tower.

The design of the spaces took into account the need to create situations where work, study and relax could coexist. The main building hosted in the former church footprint tries tries to condense these different moments by hosting research laboratories next to a large community space that develops in height on 4 levels. This space was thought as a dynamic multi-purpose one, in which people can both move and stay.

Analyzing the green connections in via Stalingrado you can see some points where there are leaks. The main problematic areas are: the intersection between via Stalingrado and via Ferruccio Parri, where the pedestrian and cycle path is heavily penalized; the node where the railway and street cross Stalingrad, where there is also a lack of attention to the green mobility.

The deep reading of the area gave the base on wich the strategy was built. The work focused on reconnecting the different layers of the area and regenerating some crucial zones . Among the different planned interventions (even accorgind to the city’s plan) the main one was creating a linear park that would cut the intervention area West to North-East. By doing so a relationship could be established between the three choosen
focus areas: Officine Casaralta, Unipol Area and Parco Nord. The attention paid to the built fabric underlined the need of a large number of industrial building to be regenerated, as well as the implementation of housing districts to overcome the zoning. This new “mixite” would also be equipped with a green system capable of improving the environmental resilience of the area and a new pedestrian-based mobility, in order to discourage the fast car traffic.

STRATEGY

MASTERPLAN
25
As the masterplan planned, the areas next to the linear park were designed trying to offer different uses with intense leisure situations and keeping attention to the human scale. The Officine Casaralta plot hosts a wide program of public functions for Bolognina’s inhabitants both indoor and outdoor, while maintaining the industrial look seen as a landmark. Moving across Via Stalingrado, the linear park cuts through the new housing and student dorms area north
to the Unipol Area. This local housing intervention aims to densify the urban residential fabric graviting around intense public spaces differently equipped and defined. The underpass below the railway is the main access to Parco Nord, thougt as the main water-collecting resource of the area. It presents itself as a “lightlydesigned” nature space, in wich people can find different leisure activities.

The location is the 3000 inhabitants village of Grottole, in Southern Italy. Here, the contest requested the transformation of the abandoned “Church Diruta” , a monumental church on the edge of a dense building fabric, into a new theater for the city. The solution tries to increase events configurations. Also, by proposing an openable roof, the project aimed to offer different use possibilities depending on the season. Via della Resistenza

The theatre can host events and can take advantage of the the flexible interior equipment, such as a modular stage and a retractible stage lighting system.
OPEN SET-UP
The open configuration can be seen as a new public square and can easily become an outdoor event space during the summer without the need of expensive MEP supply.

As the Construction Studio Class I proposed, the theme of the project is the design of a small motel as part of a diffused hotel in Apulia coast, using advanced wood building techiniques. Efficiency and durability have been the governing principles of the design. To pursue this objectives, the proposal tried to start from a basic stratification of layers all around the existing concrete houses. At the same time the intention was to provide all the rooms with a view over the sea while hiding the cars below the building and at back of it. The roof design is even central, screening the building from the strong solar gain of the area.

LACK OF GOOD PUBLIC SPACE
The AA Visiting School in Berlin challenged participants to propose ideas to reactivate the iconic I.C.C. shut for 7 years. The house, centre of very different wants from the large number of stakeholders involved, represented a serious issue for its hard regeneration and expensive maintenance. Moreover, it’s located on a complex area of the city where large highway branches go through as inhomogeneous urban fabric. Starting from the complex stakeholders scenario, the work investigated the actors at the focus of common attention about the building, getting that the citizens of the area were really on the background in the discussion. The scheme on the side tries to show how the proposal wants to find a way for negotiate the number of interests over the building, trying to give back to the citizens a say in the matter. 42

Its partial dismantling would in fact lead to a double benefit: on one side the realization of a new public outdoor space, on the other the possibility of reusing the dismantled construction material to build new equipment for the surrounding minor public spaces. The time vision even wants to open to a reflection over the house reuse: If there are momentarily no funds and technologies to efficiently activate the building for an fully indoor use, in some future these funds could be put in place, and the maintesined skeleton could newly host indoor programs.

TENNIS CLUBHOUSE In collaboration with: Arredotenda Snc Ruggeri Srl
Year: 2020 Location: Tolentino (MC), Italy Status: Completed
Final render
52
This work included the design of the clubhouse and reception spaces and the branding for a new tennis center in Tolentino, Italy. It was realized in collaboration within two local companies: ArredoTenda (upholstery) and Ruggeri (wood and metal furnishing, lighting, and bar servicies). The clubhouse, shown here, needed two separeted areas to consume food and drinks, but also some degree of flexibility of configuration: the furniture had to be suitable for different kinds of events. A media station to display tennis matches was also requested. All this led to organize the space around a central screen support, setting the lounge and the dining areas on the sides, with the bar in line with the entrance. Materials, colours and shapes aimed to transmit a sense of energy that’s inherent with the sport itself. The collaboration between all the actors produced a fine space respecting budget.

FURNITURE SHOWCASE In collaboration with: Arredotenda Snc
Year: 2018 Location: Tolentino (MC), Italy Status: Completed
56
This showcase was realized around the idea of enhancing the high quality handcrafting in upholstery of the company while including some fabrics and wallpaper it wanted to advise. The work combined two different ways of crafting: regeneration of modernist pieces and new realizations. It’s been possible due to a close dialogue with the craftsmen that, that were able to insprire the design with their knowledgeknowledges about materials and techniques. It wasn’t a top-down design but a trial to mix crafting knowledge with conceptual design. This way of design gave an organic unity to the parts. The most interesting pieces are the wall lamp, realized through laser-cutting a wood panel to blend it, obtaining a “wave” light diffusion and the modular drawers, composed by multiple indipendent modules that offer the possibility to easily organize items and space.
