OFFICE BUILDING IN ALGIERS
Ensa_Paris Est Diploma Project 2019_with high honours Prof: Thibaut Barrault, Antoine Collet and Eric Lapierre
The idea of the project is to create a building as link between two existing realities of the Algerian capital: a university campus and a financial district. It is located in an important block of the colonial urban fabric, it joins two of the most important avenues in Algiers. The building, with its 40 meters of depth, covers just a part of the block, in the remaining space there is a large public square, protected from the sun by the edifice. The working and circulation spaces within the building are organized by a system of concentric areas that are adjusted towards north to shade from the sun and to create different depths.
Site plan
On the ground floor a huge lobby links together and regulates the differences in altitude of the two urban fronts of the volume. The working-area is characterized by the alternated overlapping of a typical office plan, with exterior perimetrical balcony, and a deep plan libre with high ceilings. The staircases are four marble objects that permit the circulations of people and fluids. The facade is characterized by two key elements: the white corrugated concrete railings surrounding the building that grow of size while we go up and the double height pillars, that opposite to the railings decrease gradually going up.

BPC SPORT AND LEISURE CENTER
Ensa Paris_Est Master project_ Fall 2018 With Alessandro Nicolai and Robin Rongiard Prof: Tristan Chadney, Antoine Collet, Laurent Esmilaire, Ambra Fabi and Claudia Mion
The semester has as objective the rehabilitation of the modernist village of Clarvivre in the region of Perigord in France, through the introduction of public programs. This ensemble of buildings would install in the site a new experimental college BPC inspired by the Black Mountain College. The Sport center is located in southside of the village and it an ensemble of three spaces which answer to the need of having different locations to practice sports: a gym for indoor sports, a swimming pool with two different pools and between them a plaza covered by a sliding cloth for informal activities and outside spectacles. These elements are disposed

next to each other, following the slight slope that characterized the village of Clairvivre, and let a visual transparency through the spaces. The three spaces are located on a shared podium, which contains all the serving spaces and gives the idea of a unique building. To reinforce this cohesion also the stell structure is continued, and to avoid the thermal bridges, it is exposed outside of the building, like an exoskeleton. The gym and the pools are in a homothetical relationship expressed by the dimension of the beams and the continued stripes that compose the envelope of the building.

“AS FOUND”, THEORY AND PROCESS Ensa Paris_Est Master Thesis_Winter 2019 With Eliott Albaz Prof: Mariabruna Fabrizzi, Eric Lapierre, Fosco Lucarelli
As found is an English term that can be interpreted as: - ‘tel que trouvè’ (translation of J. Lucan, 2015, in an article by Rem Koolhaas in International Architect (1980)) in the sense of ‘finding’ as’ meet, discover by chance and take something, someone , an animal who are or seem lost “(Larousse); - ‘tel quel’ (translation of J. Taricat, in the article “New Brutalism” by Reyner Banham (1955)) in the sense of “any, mediocre, as bad as good, and even worse than good, of little of value, of little consideration. “(Larousse) As found works as an adjective, “it is above all the property of a ‘thing’ - not the ‘thing’ in itself, nor the activity that produces it.” (Lichtenstein and Schregenberger) Pre-existing in everyday language, Peter Reyner Banham and Alison and Peter Smithson, approch it by giving it a concept value. In 1955,
Essay’s page layout
he first wrote the article “The New Brutalism” for Architectural Design, where he defined the characteristics of Brutalist architecture with the third point: “the development of materials for their own qualities, used ‘as found’”. It is necessary to wait thirty-five years before the Smithsons manage to formulate in “The ‘As Found’ and the ‘Found’” a more complete theory representing a heritage of Brutalism. Our research focuses on providing insights for a more accurate understanding of what the concept as found is in its past and contemporary architectural theories and manifestations. By considering it in its architectural specificity, we have tried to define a process as found allowing the designer and the observer to understand its constructed implementation.

NEW YORK - VERTICAL CITY
Competition ArchMedium 1ST PRIZE_Summer 2018 With Giulio Galasso and Loris Perillo Jury: Studio Ames, Cadena Studio, MOS Architects and Raad Studio
New York is the emblematic city of professional progress, great ambitions and large corporations. People spend a third of the day or more in workspaces and most offices were designed to increase productivity regardless of the spatial quality or well-being of employees. We propose a new tower with a mixed-use program in the city of New York. A large hybrid building that generates quality work spaces, temporary housing, cultural and leisure spaces. A small vertical city for the city of the 21st century, where urban life is condensed and integrated into the public spaces in New York. Different volumes for different functions.
Photo of the site
The structure is provided by reinforced concrete serving spaces and vertical connections. The project is composed by two main different elements: the Long-lasting elements (banal rational narrow towers hotel and office with the same structural grid) and Temporary elements: dry light-weight volumes which contain the services, the innovative functions, and the accessible areas of the project. Each volumes is linked by suspended corridors, and, though their playful colours, they permit Clear paths in the built system. An unexpected environment for New York.

GUISE - FACTORY GODIN
Ensa Paris_Est Master project_ Fall 2017 With Catherine Lamarre and Odilon Ottinger Prof: Ambra Fabi and Giovanni Piovene
An ideal world of public buildings in Guise has been examined, in order to reassess the reality «as found», through the substitution of the existing by architectures and desirable uses. The actual factory Godin is substituted by a place of transformation made of five different sectors with different lengths. The length of these sectors varies according to the duration of their transformation processes. However, all buildings keep the same width given by a frame capable of accommodating several configurations. The structural frame is doubled to include circulation spaces and technical spaces, fluids and networks. A courtyard is reserved for the logistic between the different production buildings. The production site is linked to a storage area that is used in the assembling workshop.
The Familistere seen from the Factory Godin
The workshop through glass elements dialogues with the greenhouse that overlooks the town and the Familistère. In the greenhouse are located offices, serving spaces and refreshments. The relationship between the greenhouse and the plant is bilateral: if the greenhouse gives the constructive typology, the factory is used as a warming element of the space through the heat coming from the transformation of the materials. This concept is leveraging the logic that already existed once between factory and public baths. This relationship of mutualization between the different spaces of the same building, allows to include the building into the category of permaculture. In this case the link between the different cropping systems, makes all elements of the project have several motivations.

GUISE - HOUSING SHELTER
Ensa Paris_Est Master project_ Spring 2017 Prof: Ambra Fabi, Eric Lapierre and Giovanni Piovene
The project is a courtyard typology building, used as a shelter center, which has a 12 meters depth. The location of the project is in a central area of a modest french countryside city, Guise. The shape of the building tries to put together the several fronts in a way that it starts from a urban prospective as a straight line to then turn round in front of the parkside and draw a round courtyard. The building has 3 different floors, they all follow a striped pattern of composition and they answer to the different needs of the refugees. The central one hosts the service area and the internal circulation. This served space is perceived as the border between shared and private spaces. The radial concrete structure is made in a way that the increase
Site plan
of the private areas also increases the common areas to which they are linked. On the ground floor, the day area is located towards outside, with a small garden that works as a filter between the shared/common circulation and the house. On the first floor, from the day area facing the courtyard, you can have access through an inner corridor to the different rooms made of a sequence of alcoves that gives continuity to the space though a system of panel doors creating a sort of a small dormitory. On the upper floor, the residences are made to be used by 4-5 people family, where the rooms face on a patio-terrace shared between 2 rooms.

MARGHERA GROĂ&#x;STADT
UniversitĂ IUAV di Venezia Workshop WAVe 2016 With Andrea Cibin and Carlotta Floreano Prof: OnSite Studio (Angelo Lunati+Giancarlo Floridi), Milan
The project provides an overall scenario of the harbor of Marghera, with a time horizon of 50 years , based on different densification strategies, reconnections, gradients of transformation, according to the different aptitudes and vocations of the single pieces. The scheme pragmatically provides an assemblage of urban patterns taken from many European metropolis being a varied set of different spatial and morphological situations, typical of the metropolitan condition. Then, a tower building system is dotting along the new urban landscape without a general pre-determined design, but on the contrary being generated by the specific con-
The Harbour of Marghera
ditions in which buildings take place. A sequence of 13 urban buildings, individually and all together express the deepest energies of the new metropolis. The new character of the buildings is the result of the hybridization of a tower and a basement piece, so that through this new ensamble it is possible to establish a system of relations at different scales with the surrounding urban situation. Programs are related with cultural production, research, leisure or harbor facilities; these are located on the basement building and are hybridized to the generic condition of housing and office spaces, organized instead through typical plan in the vertical element.
