2 YEAR BACHELOR ACCADEMIA DI ARCHITETTURA MENDRISIO Fall semester 2009 Spring semester 2010 ATELIER COLLOMB

THE SPANISH WALLS MILANO HOUSING+ LIBRARY on the empty spaces of the mediveval wall. Fall 2009 Pair work: Beatrice Orlandi Cheline Lachelin (all the material was made by both of us togheter, by steps,without tasks divisions)
site model, 1:2000, plaster.
The site is on the trace of the ancient wall; now empty space between two big road. The building has to deal with a slope and some changing of level. The program is collective housing + neighbourhood’s library, as an architectonic object to be placed in an urban scale in strong relation with the city. Our building Is made by two housing block, running on the old trace of the 2 parallel fortifications, and a first floor library, though as the element that would solve, with his perimeter, the difficulty given by the difference of level. The wall that runs along the plot till merging with the first floor façade create also a protected square in front of the entrance of the library.

Our building Is made by two housing block, running on the old trace of the 2 parallel fortifications, and a first floor library, though as the element that would solve, with his perimeter, the difficulty given by the difference of level. The regular parallel concrete structure, passing from horizontal beams and sheds to vertical pillars to, again horizontal floor beams, wraps the building giving it a strong identity that come back on every design step.
model, 1:200, wood, plaster.
On the outer part of each residential block there is an unheated buffer space, connect to the ground by a big lift in one side and by an outdoor emergency staircase in the other side. Every apartment can use as a deposit space and as a common face (dinners, parties). A free positioned small stair connects also the floor in this part of the building. Each floor is divided in modular spaces by the position of beams and pillars. A big range of apartment’s size find place in this system. Every apartment is accessible by a big metal gate that, once open, make possible a nice flow between the families. The plan is free, virtually divided by the set of loggias and windows.

double façade’s system.
In inner façade each module is treated as a glass façade composed by small windows unit. The first window’s row works as a railing, when the other parcels are tilted windows. Another parallel system of foldable glass panel sat 1 m from the façade. This creates a system of double façade that could acclimatize the room and give a flexible small space that can change with the seasons. Similar treatment goes also to the loggias, where the glass façade is simply 4m backwards, with opening glass door.
inner faรงade.
outer faรงade.
The faรงade facing the street is a brick semitransparent faรงade containing the large corridors. This layer is also thought as a sound protection. The self bearing faรงade is made by using only one standard measure of brick, positioned in two layers, one row perpendicular to the other, in order to make a regular pattern of small fissures. The pattern corresponds to the space given to the internal partition and change only to match the presence of a small staircase. All the faรงade is overhanging on the sidewalk of the street, protecting pedestrians from the rain.

“THE STAIRCASE OF SIR ALFRED HITCHCOCK” One Hitchcock’s movie, one character, one thrilling story. House with staircase in Sempione Park, Milan. Individual work.
Agent Secret Alfred Hitchcock, 1939 A man and a woman, journalist and actress in their real life, jump into the role of spies and couple during the 2 World War. After a chain of intrigues a spiraling staircase indicate them the gammon. Acting as a couple, they fall in love.

This is the house for two people that doesn’t know each other and are demand to live really close together. He is a film director and she’s an actress. They live together nearby the set of the movie, so that they work together with adjusting the scenario. The house, that appears as an individual block from certain perspective, is made by the combination of two different minimal size houses. The houses are really thin and the minimal functions are carved in the same material without division in rooms. They sit parallel to each other and are joined in a big and open shared space, that work as a dining room, fireplace and inner yard. Each of the characters owns one of the first floor as a day part and the opposite second floor as a night part. In this way they are brought to cross the middle space and to eventually run into each other.

model, interior, aereted concrete.
Picture from the short movie. Making a short movie is also part of the project. The movie shows the dynamic of the house trough the movement around the staircase and the ambience that it creates.
The middle space is partly elevated over the house’s ground floor, in a platform with different levels that give different kind of spaces and function (tables, sits, stairs, private courtyards). The two houses block, thought as a lively wall, sustain the roof by a cantilever structure. This structure changes shape and leans following how the opening in the roof is designed. These blocks enclose the common space giving it the image of an outdoor domestic space made by subtraction of mass.
2 section showing the changes in the structure.
The two house’s blocks are closed on the outside, and develop a more open façade to the inside. In this way the visual contact between the two characters is always in act. Every window is thought to frame the other’s everyday life, let one watch over the other without being seen, and create a subtle interlacement between the guests. The staircase, excavated on the façade give a space where the movement are naked in front of the other.
2 section showing the changes in the structure.
The faรงade of the house looking at the most open part of the park is thought as a modular gate, which can open in several steps according to the season and the use. It can be folded up or totally enclosed, or just partly open to create railing and to frame the landscape in different ways. The hole house, in a certain day, could work also as an open air theater for the public in the park.

ERASMUS Stockholm, KTH 2010-2011 PRACTISE BASED STUDIO Ori Merom - Robert Petren
VITTORIA, RA, SICILIA. PROJECT FOR THE REVALORISATION OF AN ABUSIVE NEIGHBOURHOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE URBAN FABRIC. (Parasite architecture, spontaneous architecture, where does the Italian city born from?)
site model, scrap material, wood, cardboard.
2-18 October 2010 workshop in Vittoria with the architect Maria Giuseppina Canizzo Grasso. Site’s and territory’s analysis. Intervention strategy.
In my proposal the existent is not demolish, but become a base for the new development. Structure, material, dimension, differences are the guideline of the process. The role of the architect is to deal with the given tools and the upcoming necessities to boost a healthy growth.
Axonometric of the plot, to read anticlockwise from the up left corner, showing the growth over time.

The existent houses stay private. A modular and extensible metallic structure give rules and define the existing structure, so that a new addition is now possible. Walls and floor are prefab construction element to decrease the costs. The materials are various and the range can change during time following the technologic development. In any case they are material produced locally or even scrap material coming from the close by industries. The local economy is promote and the transport is cheap.
section through the block.
The public space and functions are going to be replaced some of the building that need to be tear down. The wreckages, contained and made structural by a metallic cage, are the physical base of the new growth for the community facilities (church, hospital, schools..) This building have a different character: a simple stone shell, ready to survive the time and to host different functions, becoming symbolic for the community.
zoom on the section, showing private houses and public buildings.
My working method tries to reproduce this process. Once traced the starting points, I decide to work following this directions like they where given, adding day by day, without going back or deleting anything. Growing a kind of vision during time, where the final product is the image at the moment when my personal work stops, but that is suggesting an unpredictable furtherance.

Façade and restaurant plan, Lara and Beatrice
A wooden footbridge, supported by various pillars of different dimensions, cuts the valley rising towards the museum entrance. The building, 4X12 meters on 10 floors, is conceived as a white concrete shell that’s bearing the floors together with a self bearing wooden core, where all the services, staircase, minor rooms, are included, letting the concrete floor empty.

Faรงade from the street. Print on glass.
The project, playing with a range of overlaying layers, tries to imitate the different perspective and point of view inside the movie industry. The guest pass trough the steps of cinema production. A concrete blade supports the metallic and plastic structure, hanging over the ground. From the street the museum, with his semitransparent plastic faรงade, look like a television switch on in the city, where one can perceive the movements and the light coming from the inside.

A small storyboard: a way to tell about my project to the public.
storyboard.
My only talent, if you can call it that in my case, is that I love this little world inside the thick walls of this playhouse, and I’m fond of the people who work in this little world. Outside is the big world, and sometimes the little world succeeds in reflecting the big one so that we understand it better. Or perhaps, we give the people who come here a chance to forget for a while, for a few short moments, the harsh world outside.Our theater is a little room of orderliness, routine, care and love.
