Architecture is structure, structure is architecture
Design Studio II - Fall 2016 Trieste, Italy Professors: M. Manzelle S. Russo, L. Ciacci Porto Vecchio is the old and original port of Trieste, is was opened in 1869 and it is characterized by strong identity, every single structure is more like a building of city than an industrial construction. Currently the port is almost complete close and is a sort of void in the city. The goal of the design studio was to find a way to give back to the city this space. To open to the city this space we decided to work first of all in two key elements: new public spaces and with the renovation of buildings, making them attractive poles for new and attractive activities. We identified the new public spaces on the three wharfs that we design like a long and strict telescope which put in visual contact the hill and the sea building a connection between the most two important natural element of Trieste.In the specific I designed a residence and space of study for university student. The specificity of this building is that it needed to be completely rebuilt, for this reason i tried to find the essence of the buildings of Porto Vecchio to integrate the new building in the context. I found the essence of the buildings in the rhythm of the structure that for each of them is 5x5. I design the new building from this idea, using the structure like the way to build the internal space but i reinterpreted it in a contemporary way using the technology and the knowledge of our time to create a building connected with the past but completely new.

Regeneration of traditional vernacular settlements and housing block design in Linxia
Workshop - Fall 2016 Linxia, China Professors: Z. Jianlong, M. Turvani, M. D. Paolucci The project think about how to renovate and preserve a Muslim district in the city of Linxia (China), that is located on the silk road now an important touristic zona for the China. The district is characterized by a compact settlement system of traditional courtyard house that represent the history of the place. We decided to work on possible strategy that could permit to the people and the local government to improve the district thanks a different type of business: a diffuse logging system for a different kind of tourism. The strategy started from the idea to improve the life condition of the people, generate a new income for the family and at the same time attract new tourist on the city. We decided to worked on a prototype to explain this idea and we worked on a particular house characterized by two courtyard and a beautiful garden. We used this peculiarities to create a specific project that in this case is related with the experience of the traditional food, in other case the experience could be related with the handicraft, or with the Chinese decoration in other courtyard houses. To allow the use of these spaces to the tourist and improve the quality of the life of the family we decided demolish the unused building, we improve the quality of the open spaces, the technical quality if the building and to build new sanitary spaces with shower dimensioned for all the people of the houses.

Venice is lagoon, lagoon is Venice
Design Studio I - Fall 2015 Portegrandi, Italy Professors: A. Cibic, F. Peron, P. Zennaro The project is based on the idea that Venice isn’t only the city, but it is a complex ecosystem composed by the city, the lagoon the islands and the land. In the past every single element of this system were strong connected together to guarantee the subsistence of Venice, for this reason to understand the story of the city is important to know also the story and the development of the ecosystem around Venice. The project is characterized by the design of a touristic village situated on the land, in the specific at Portegrandi. This kind of tourism is different from the traditional tourism, it is related with the nature, it is more slow because linked with the rhythm of the seasons. To live this kind of experience the house or better the shelter is designed to immerge the interior space in the nature thanks the big windows the connect the interior space with the external space. It is designed to permit the most possible immersion in the nature. The shelter and the village are self-sustaining thanks the use of solar active system and the passive design of the house itself and thanks the possibility to get the food direct from the land.

A different possibility of tourism
Two different places located on the opposite sides of the Lagoon: they represent the second kind of alternative tourist individuated. Here is possible to live the essence of the Venice lagoon, between the land and sea; working fields, living in community, helping each other, learning from the traditions, eating something typical, do outdoor sports and grow the ground to get food for a self-contained community. In this place is it possible to live another type of tourism respect the more known tourism located in the island of Venice, is it important to show that Venice isn’t not only the “city�, Venice is part of a natural system composed by the city, the lagoon the islands and the land. This kind of tourism is more slow and permit to create a relation with the essence of the nature of this ecosystem.

Workshop - Summer 2014 Marghera, Italy Professor: Fabrizio Barozzi In the past Marghera was one of the most important industrial harbour of the country, now the most part of the industries are closed and there is the necessity to rethink it before it is completely destroyed like a new contemporary city. Fabrizio Barozzi has interpreted the workshop with a personal idea, working on the “Urban Archeology� that means to rethink the great industrial cathedrals, today in ruins, which hide potential not only for functional recovery but also and above all for their urban scale. Each group of the workshop designed from an architectural and functional point of view, a large industrial building, to create fireplaces, within a modular and widespread urban fabric, from which Marghera’s regeneration would have originated. We were assigned some common warehouses, that were developed in length and not in height. The warehouses did not build a strong bond with the other industrial buildings and so it was necessary to build new buildings and rethink an adequate entrance. We designed 20 residential towers that could in this way relate with the other large industrial buildings and at the same time build the context of a new piece of city.

Design Studio - Fall and Spring 2013/2014 Napoli, Italy Professors: M. Vanore, M. Barucco The design studio was focused on the urban project. The area taken into consideration constitutes a former industrial area in Naples. In addition to the advanced state of degradation, the area is characterized by a strong hight different (14m) between the two opposite side of the area. We have identified two main issues that subsequently turned out to be design ideas. The abandoned industrial area is mainly responsible for the breakdown of the urban fabric of the city, it is like a great void that breaks the basic bonds of the city: moving and interacting. Secondly in the area there isn’t an open public place where you can transit without the traffic jam. From these observations, goals have been drawn: to build a system that at the same time allows to be recognized as an attractive public place for the district and as a means to reconcile the disrupted urban fabric, bringing together two pieces of the city through a new ground. We needed to work with a building that took advantage of the hight difference and therefore would have hidden innumerable activities inside, so it was necessary to build with it its opposite: a tower that could act as a visually attractive element. Two elements, two opposites defined by Koolhaas in “Delirious New York� needle and globe, two opposites that synergistically can build the contemporary city.

Synergy
Needle and Globe “The needle is the thinnest, least voluminous structure to mark a location within the grid. It combines maximun physical impact with a negligible consumption of ground. It is, essentially, a building without an interior. The globe is, mathematically, the form that encloses the maximum interior volume with rhe least external skin. It has a promiscuos capacity to absorb objects, people, iconographies, symbolisms; it relates them trough the mere fact of their coexistence in its interior. In many ways, the history of Manhattanism as a separate, identificable architecture is a dialectic between these two forms, with the needle waiting to become a globe and the globe trying, from time to time, to turn into a needle - a cross-fertilization that results in a series of succesful hybrids in which the needle ‘s capacity fro attracting attention and its territorial modesty are matched with the counsummate receptivity of the sphere.” Delirious New York - Rem Koolhaas

Urban planning - Fall and Spring 2013/2014 Longarone, Italy Professor: Stefano Munarin The urban project deals with the railway line that connects Venice to Calalzo di Cadore, in the past it was an important connection, which until the 60s led up to Cortina (important tourist center), but now due to the state of degradation and because it is not so much use by the people, the government is thinking to tear down the whole line without thinking about the potential inherent in the path itself. The idea is based on exploiting the tourist and economic potential of the various countries crossed by the railway line, in the area there are large industries and various possibility of practice sports related to nature, the line can potentially be used both tourists and workers, but to be used it was necessary to work within each station to improve its attractive capacities and services in order to manage the more or less frequent flow of commuters and tourists. Our subsequent reflections focused on the design of a case study: Longarone, as we considered it an excellent starting point to trigger the process of global change given its great attractive potential. To do this, however, it was necessary to work on the biggest problem of Longarone: the difficulty of safely passing the northern part to the south part of the country caused by the fast road. The project is based on the construction of a system of ascent and descent that at the same time can offer spatial experiences take advantage of the naturalistic context and that concretely allow the connection between the two parts of the city.

Rendering
I think that the use of the render to represent the architecture is one of the best way with the plastic model to explain the project to the people. It is a method of representation extremely fast and intuitive and I think that the key is the feature to be able to represent the atmosphere of the project.

Learn from travel
I think that the travel is a necessary for the formation of an architect, it is a way to improve my knowledge about architecture, about how to build the space and work with light in different ways. In these years I had the fortune to do different trips that allowed me to study many architectures in person. In particular, trips to China and Japan were very significant because I came into contact with very different realities from the European one, where I was able to study a different way of doing and seeing the architecture that changed significant my vision about this discipline.
