TATAMI HOUSE waterfront row house with Stefano Banfi
The subject of this project is a row house situated on a long and narrow lot - 16,00 mt depth and 6,60 mt width - in an urban contest with high building density. The building has only two fronts, a street front and a waterfront. The row house was designed for a family of at least four people. According to the project, the lot has to be divided into three spaces in order to create a central vacuum. Every room in the house is directed toward the vacuum and this solution allows a better lighting of the internal spaces.
The tatami room is the peculiar element of the project: a double-height space, a projection on the canal. The size of the room is given by traditional Japanese floor modules. The room is peculiar because of the tatami modules position, in fact the elements are set at different levels in order to optimize the room height and enjoy the view on the canal. In addition, the structure of this space is made of steel covered by wood, while the rest of the building is made of exposed concrete.

BAMBOO PAVILION Architectural pavilion ETSA Universidad PolitĂŠcnica de Valencia
It involves the design of an architectural pavilion in an area between two very busy roads. The area is currently used as a parking. The curvy shape is the answer to the dynamism and the monotony of motion that dominate the infrastructure hub, one of the main entrances to the city of Valencia. The curved surfaces created by the repetition of vertical elements of different length and inclination define spaces covered or opened to the sky. In the construction of the pavilion are employed natural
materials. The wood, the bamboo and the intense Mediterranean sunlight arise an atmosphere characterized by deep shadows, reflections, textures that is aimed at an emotional sensitivity proper to the human being . The light structure and dry assembly confer flexibility to the construction of this temporary exhibition pavilion. The only restriction imposed was the prohibition to occupy more than 15% of the available land, giving importance to the open space design.

SCOPRIRE, SENTIRE, VIVERE IL PAESAGGIO Agrifood dissemination and exhibition centre with Stefano Banfi e Guya Poli
The guidelines of the project are the results of the researches and surveys we made to understand this place. Inside the Parco Tecnologico Padano people are working for and with nature. For this reason the project has an holistic approach, in order to make people live nature and landscape. The PTP nature and architectural system depend on the relations between these two elements and can’t be considered only a sum of the parts. According to the previous observations, we chose to separate the functions in order to give more relevance to the above mentioned relations and enrich them
thanks to the connection with the ground and the air. This decision is based on the idea that people should enjoy every aspect of nature. Giving relevance to the relations also implies giving them a value. Inside the project, the position of the volumes and the presence of hedges closes the view to the landscape from north to south. This closure expresses the idea that the landscape has to be discovered and won. The wall is a metaphor for separation, it divides and links at the same time. The position of the buildings generates backdrops and perspective giving value to the space.

VIVERE LA CORTE OGGI Social housing and co-housing with Stefano Banfi e Simone Marmori
The concept is based on the reinterpretation to the building type of the court. Three buildings, the southern one is a cohousing building and the others two are social housing buildings, placing defining a semi-public open space around which revolves the project. The aim is to connect the courtyard with the park in order to make this open space continuous. The buildings are situated next to the most consolidated part of the urban context and this solution determines an increase of the park area. The courtyard is at the same time a space shared by residents and a public space. Since there will be a new flow for vehicles – given by the new buildings and the related car parking - relevance has been given to viability and traffic control. The project is designed on a modular grid that change direction in order to connect with the axes of the urban context and to allow the green permeability. The main theme of the project was the techno-typological
flexibility in response to the rapid changes and the variety of lifestyles that characterize contemporary society. The modules of the buildings permit a more flexible internal organization. The social housing buildings have a different orientation but they both have loggias on the internal part of the courtyard and a more solid front on the opposite side. The direction of the living area is toward the courtyard while the bedrooms are situated in the western and the northern parts of the building. The buildings distribution depends on stairs and lifts orthogonal to the front of the building. This solution gave us the opportunity to situate all the service spaces next to stairs and lifts and made it possible to create different combinations of internal spaces and change the dimension of the apartments. While designing the green spaces, a lot of attention has been given to the surroundings. The main element of the urban project is the continuity of the green public spaces.

ARCHITETTURA DEGLI SPAZI INTERCLUSI Progetto lungo l’asta del Sempione a Gallarate Thesis of Master Degree in Architecture. Supervisor Prof. Ilaria Valente with Stefano Banfi e Simone Marmori
The project started after the researches made during the design labs and the integrated courses on the following topic: relation between infrastructure, city and architecture. The propose suggests an intervention in a peripheral district of Gallarate and was developed after a meeting with the public administrators of the city. The project area is situated at the southern limit of the city and it is characterized by the intersection between the railway, the new layouts for the Pedemontana project, the Sempione and the Malpensa routes. The intervention is on an existing closed space between the railway and the Sempione and on a new interstice created by a connecting layout between Pedemontana and Malpensa route. The aim of the project is to give a new interpretation of the relation between infrastructure,
city and architecture. The method used for this project permitted to develop a strategy in order to obtain the increase of the different scales relations and the rise of correspondences between different means of transport. The base of the project is the infrastructure itself. This work wants to create a relation between the buildings and the urban space in order to obtain a positive transformation of the closed spaces. Indeed, the aim is to give birth to a huge dynamic center strongly included into the landscape and the territory. The project wants to demonstrate that it is possible to make interventions in the areas surrounding infrastructures or between them. The strategy gives value to the relation between infrastructure and city, protects the existing open spaces and creates connections beyond the infrastructural layouts.

33 MODELLI DI ARCHITETTURA Exhibition design with Filippo Abrami, Giuseppe Giuliano and Valentina Rao
In spring 2012, the “Scuola di Architettura e Società” of Politecnico di Milano has been invited to contribute to the project 40,000 Hours, during the 13. International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale - Common Ground directed by David Chipperfield. 29 projects were selected. Projects have been developed for the thesis of master degree or during the workshops. The program included the construction of models exclusively on white cardboard. models could not measure more than 500 x 500 x 500 mm. The exhibition would have been without the accompanying texts and preserving the anonymity of the authors: the models
would be prepared “out of context” and together with those made by students from other international schools. The exhibition was a testament to the impressive work, to the research, to the intelligence that architecture students from all over the world dedicated to the issues of contemporary living: common ground, indeed. We took pictures before the models left for Venice. This exhibition aims to reconstruct the thread, returning through the collected and ordered images of the models a significant segment of the research of our School. The authors of the projects are revealed and, with them, the teachers who followed them in their design process.

New Frankfurt School campus international competition project OAB internship ∙ my role: model-making ∙ design proposal ∙ cad drawing ∙ graphic support
The chance to work at the design of such a project came during the internship at the office OAB - Carlos Ferrater & Partners, in Barcelona. In fact, the office had been invited to take part in a competition for five international firms including Rem Koolhaas, Sanaa, Henning Larsen and Dominique Perrault. The new design concept aims to develop a dialogue between the new Frankfurt School campus and the surrounding area in the Adickesallee, while at the same time paying tribute to the old regional tax office (OFD) building. Like the former OFD building, the new campus building will be 120 metres long, forming the kind of homogenous, compact structure that best reflects and embodies the Frankfurt School philosophy. The exterior of the new structure is simple and bold. Its interior, on the other hand, is multi-layered and complex, to reflect the equally diverse and complex activities that will take place
there. Light-filled atria, internal corridors, double-height floors and galleries together create a separate world, or microclimate, inside the building. This combination of compact exterior with multifunctional interior is a defining feature of the “vertical campus”. The spacious atrium on the west side of the building, with its abundance of natural light, opens up full vertical access to the building, so users can quickly find their bearings and travel between the different floors by a series of escalators. The agora is the beating heart of the campus, a large lounge where users can meet, share ideas, network, and let their thoughts run free. The inspiring atmosphere of the agora is created by natural light from a variety of sources: diffuse light from studio-type windows; direct sunlight from the skylights in the main atrium, and from the large glazed area in the southfacing facade.

La Poste du Louvre projet de restructuration DPA internship ∙ my role: cad drawing ∙ graphic support
At present I am working on the restoration project for the Poste du Louvre building in central Paris. In phase PRO I was involved in the design of the four main building sections (scale 1: 100) and in the design of the stairs’ core details (scale 1: 50). Currently I am developing the permis de construire modificatif (PCM), focussing on fire security, disabled access, demolition plans, and the dossier for the comparison of plans, sections and elevations of the building of Julien Guadet, the existing and the project. « … Restructurer c’est se positionner, prendre parti pour une historie plutôt qu’une autre. Restructurer c’est faire des choix, juger les éléments du passé pour retenir ceux qui composeront les bases d’une nouvelle historie. Si l’architecte ne prend pas position pour une historie, il ne restructure pas, il conserve, il
réaménage. La restructuration au sens plein du terme, telle que nous la comprenons dans le cadre du projet, possède une doble dimension : la dimension médicale du rétablissement, de la remise aux normes, elle vise la santé de l’édifice, son bon fonctionnement. Mais la restructuration est également prospective car en même temps qu’elle soigne, elle prolonge la vie, offre de nouvelles voies, élargit le champ des possibles pour écrire de nouvelles histories. L’histoire que nous racontons est celle de la transformation d’un ilot a vocation unique, industrielle, en un ilot urbain, opération rendue possible grâce aux qualités patrimoniales intrinsèques de l’immeuble de Guadet et à son insertion au cœur d’une séquence urbaine remarquable, donnant tout son sens au projet de restructuration. » Dominique Perrault, extrait de la notice de concours, avril 2012
