UNIVERSITY PROJECTS
REDEVELOPMENT OF AN AREA OF BORCA IN BELGRADE The main goal of my thesis was to reintroduce a concept of Co-Housing to the city of Belgrade, and with it try to answer some of the difficulties of today’s living. The project consists of residential building blocks, one shared social structure and two educational ones.
PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY LIBRARY, LOUIS KAHN Here you can see some of the frames from a 3D animation of a famous Library by Louis Kahn. We tried to demonstrate how it was constructed from basic elements to the colorful brick façade and one of most iconic Kahn’s interiors. https://vimeo.com/524015867
AGRO-HOUSING, FLORENCE Innovative residential complex in the city of Florence. The idea of combining residential spaces with urban gardens, took us toward this project. On a level above semi public green spaces, we have created connected gardens with lightweight bridges. Every apartment has its own area of cultivating land. Rooftops are open terraces with pergolas, a traditional Tuscan element.
NARROW HOUSE This project had a limited width of only five meters, so I elongated the house. I divided it in two parts with the internal courtyard, so all rooms had natural daylight. Supporting structure is a complicated wooden frame that creates a visual difference between inside and outside. Looking at it from the outside, it seems that the house has three instead of only two levels.
UNIVERSITY, OLYMPIC AREA OF LONDON The continuous square shape university complex was supposed to blend nicely within surrounding Olympic structures. The courtyard’s facades are all transparent to give a sense of openness, where the ones that face outside are narrow and almost none exist. The semi public library being the strongest part of the project gives the whole a sense of monumentality.
SAILING CLUB, FORTE DEI MARMI The starting idea for the new sailing club in Forte dei Marmi was a big metallic grid-like structure where the boats would rest during the winter. Afterwards, we applied the same idea to the main part of the club. For the main building design we were inspired by shipping containers and we appended them upon the supporting steel structure as bird cages. We also made the hanging chair in real-life scale, that was supposed to be appended on the steel structure as the rest of the club. The chair nowadays can be found at my friend’s garden hanging from the tree.
SOCIAL CO-HOUSING, FLORENCE The task was to design a socially aware residential complex. This complex had to satisfy the social needs of its residents and to revive social interactions of the neighbourhood. Beside the residential building, the project had to have a swimming pool with a gym, place for hobbies, canteen, and a kindergarten. I placed different services in three separate buildings, in a way to create a courtyard that seemed private but at the same time was also a public space. The residential building has a posterior open corridor and most of the apartments have two levels and a balcony that faces the courtyard.
THEATRE AND A LIBRARY, SAN MINIATO For the first university project we had to rethink a very limited space of two parking lots on different levels with the street passing in between. They were in the city’s historic center. The goal was to use as much space as possible, and blend them in with surrounding buildings. Two buildings needed to be connected, I chose an elevated bridge, so one could easily go from one to the other.
