ABOUT ME
I was born in Rome on 7th June 1990,
I graduated in January 2016 with final mark 110/110; my thesis topic was the riqualification of the Lisbon riverside. I consider myself a dynamic, creative, ready to work alone and in team. During my studies I was reliable, accurate, I had a strong sense of duty and I am sure to be able to carry out satisfactorily the tasks assigned learning quickly and enthusiastically. During 2013 I moved to Lisbon at the Technical University (FAUTL) for one Erasmus year. In 2014 and in 2015 I have been selected as a member of the Italian team at EASA. Erasmus, Easa and other international experiences have allowed me to refine my skills and my optimistic attitude.

In the northen part of the area there is a very important circulation sistem, Avenida Infante Dom Henrique. The Avenida create a main link path between the residential center. At the beginning of the 19th century began the construction of the railway line and the tramway line that draw a not-permeable barrier between the city and the river itself.

Library external view The first part of the project concerns the design of the library. It was developed as a translucent tower element. I chose a simple shape in order to consider it as a river landmark without entering into
conflict with the Alfama district. The Interior has been organised in order to have more free space as possible by giving to the furnitures the task of dividing the rooms.

Museum external view The second key element is the Museum an element developed in a horizontal way. The project idea was born by enclosing a large garden through concrete baffles, the building itself
is born by developing environments beyond these elements. Even here the spaces are large and simple in order to ensure maximum freedom for future interior organizers.

DESIGN PROPOSAL workshop Nida, Lithuania - costruction workshop 2016 fellow student for collective work: Elena Sofia Congiu, Marco Noli
“Obsessively I dream of a small, clean labyrinth at whose center there is a jar that I almost touched with hands, which I saw with my own eyes, but the roads were so twisted, so confused, that one thing appeared clear: I’d be dead before you get there.” the Aleph, JL Borges
The workshop was designed within the context of EASA. The city of Nida (Lithuania) was chosen as the site of student Symposium in which 500 students from all over Europe can partici42
pate. A common theme is chosen each year, and each workshop must abide; This year has been selected as “not yet decided” by the organizers.
We saw the “Labyrinth” as something that could better embody the theme . I developed mainly the graphic part by creating collages that could trace the sensations inside the maze.
43
Concept collage: Misplacement
Nida has got an incredible number of different landscapes. The connection between the water, the dunes and the forest is always determinated by the nature, and the border among them is often
44
well defined. To conveying and capturing this border we need something that can pass through the edge, without breaking it. The goal is to underline the line between different landscapes and
to live that boundary as a different experience. How can we do that? Creating a third element, that is not a space, but is a pathway, that can introduce you unexpectedly to a new landmark.

In this workshop the task was to design a futuristic development of the EUR towers. The main objective of this workshop was to give an immediate response from an architectural point of view.
We wanted to maintain the modernist image of the towers by applying a green faรงade system that had however a link even with the interiors. The old towers had a mainly ad-
ministrative function, we wanted to give new life, creating a vertical city, with residences, schools, an indoor market area, and coworking areas while preserving the structures

In this workshop I worked mainly on wood and soil, I learned how to identify the problems. The workshop lasted for two weeks and I honed my sense of team and learned basic con-
struction techniques. In the first part of the workshop we prepare the pieces of wood. In the the second part we prepared the ground by digging a hollow, in order to position the pallets.
Besides having worked with an international team and have made friends, I have learnt to work the material, and achieve my aims.

Yo! is a construction based workshop planned to build a floating platform that can houses various recreational activities. The main material used was metal. The whole structure was composed of metal that we cut and
soldered with right tools. During the early days of the workshop tutors have taught us to weld and working small pieces of metal, in order to be able to get more practice. Then we cut out all the pieces we
needed to bring them together, giving them the shape suitable to float. As a last step we painted everything with multiple layers of blue paint in order to protect the whole structure.
