Spree River Anthology

T

he project site is situated close to the historic urban center of Berlin at the Nordhafen, an inner city harbour which is part of the Spree-waterway-system. The plot is located

at the edge of a large abandoned railyard area that extends as far as InvalidenstraĂ&#x;e, just north of the Humboldhafen and the new central station of Berlin. The area, lacking of a strong territorial identity, has led to a phenomenon of exclusion from the rest of the city, representing a sort of enclave.The whole system of our project is generated by two axis, one along the river and the orthogonal existing roads and the other one following the deviation of the water stream. Thus creating a link between the plot and the other part of the river, taking into account also an abandoned industrial building and a green strip along the coast.

The project consists of three building. The Theatre recall the idea of the monument and the permanence, thanks to its massive character and solidity of the pure volume. The abandoned building, seen in the project as a scientific research centre, has interesting industrial characteristics and the decision to keep it and integrate it in the project try to address an identity to the complex. The Academy is dedicated to the professional education of young actors. It provides spaces for the education of the future professional performers as well as spaces for lectures and workshops to address school classes. It as has its own auditorium and stage, with reharsal rooms and service spaces. In this page: Masterplan of the theatre district, out of scale. In the next page: Territorial sections.

T

he project plot is located on the top of a mountain in a abandoned marble quarry close to the town of CĂłbdar in the region of Andalusia. The program consists of an

art center organized in two parts: an exposition area and a facility for artistic research. The former aims to raise awareness of the importance that marble quarries have had for centuries (they have been exploited since Roman times). The latter is to accommodate six sculptors, on grants for the purpose, who will live in, work, and display their studies having to do with the manipulation of marble. The whole system is generated by several radial axis, traced by the existing cuts in the stone, due to the extraction activity of the quarry.

The art gallery, placed in the most accessible point, next to the road. This building is accessible by a long ramp, that gently leads to the patio and then to the main entrance of the museum. The ultimate view on the valley from the top of the mountain is provided by a big window at the end of the building. The gallery provides also a passage to the lower level, which run along a reflecting pool and goes down in a more private square, faced by two buildings. The six sculptors facilities are divided into two buildings, the southernmost one spreading on the cliff with a cantilever, and the other one laying on one of the biggest platform. Both the building provide workspaces for the artists and an upperfloor where are organized their living spaces. At the easternmost part of the ‘tubes’ are placed two semi-public halls, designed for the artists community life. In this page: Site plan, art gallery and ateliers. district, out of scale.

Through Brackets

E

xamining the area of the Metropolitan City of Milan we focused on big infrastructural nodes, which tend to design the territory incisively. These specific existing tangles of

lines of fast transportations shape the space of these areas which don’t communicate anymore neither with the natural territory nor with the urban patterns. The aim of the project is to redesign the New Gates of the city, to reshaping the spaces which characterize them and to convert these spaces of motion into spaces of stop, of life, of contemplation. Distinguishing the slow transportation network and the fast one, we tried to sew them up to reconnect the two different system in order to give an easier accessibility to the territory and a different perception of the crossed spaces. Managing the interface as a fragmented device widespread on the territory occupying a large area, instead of a single limited point or a shape, it’s possible to reactivate entire areas and also to make readable the difference between inside and outside the city giving a new texture to the entire external tissue of the Metropolitan City of Milan. Considering Ticino and Adda rivers, we focused on another intervention: a light train, which complete the existing network giving the possibility of a public transport along the river and reconnecting the different areas, cascinas or urban tissues, closer to the rivers. Considering TAV system, the railways and the highways as fast trasportation, we chose to use the existing bike paths and pedestrian paths as a slow short-range connection useful for both the linking of the diffused transportation interfaces and the connections between the different functions.

Weakness: Weak interchange system between big infrastructures. Weak connections based almost exclusively on the private car transport. Weak public trasport based only on a single bus line. Weak connection between the natural environment, the Parco Ag3 km ricolo Sud and the Ticino Park, and Milan. The public transport 40 min doesn’t give the possibility to enter in to the slow teritory, characterized by cascinas and agricultural fields. 25 min

Potential: 13 min The very dense existing system of small streets and path could be used as the way of a new mobility. The irrigation ditchies could interchanges create a network of path harmoniously crossing the landscape. l The agricultural sites, such as cascinas and farms, could become m recreational and receptive spaces. San Cristoforo could became a s new door of Milan overlooking at the natural scenery. existing The accessibility to the territory could be increased dealing a new set of railwith station infrastructural connections. The accessibility could be improved by a more efficent trasport system based on the creation of new interchange poles. Design Advantages: Possibility to increase the accessibility to the territory of Metropolitan City of Milan. Possibility to strenghten the public trasport. Possibility to connect Malpensa and Abbiategrasso with the new tram line, Abbiategrasso with San Cristoforo thanks to the existing railway and to connect San Cristoforo with Linate Airport with the new M4 Underground line.

Hybrid Revitalization

Hybrid Revitalization

T

he proposal envisions total demolition of the existing buildings, not because they do not have any significant architectural value, identity or spatial quality, but for this form

of energy and structural study it is suffice to do so. On the thus vacant site we propose a complex of buildings with a configuration, which reminds somehow the previous urban texture of the area, but at the same time allows to improve the traffic problem on the adjacent crossroad, opens passages and views to the park, and increases density of the dwellings. The provided dwellings differ in size, type and configuration, thus stimulating the diversity among the inhabitants (students sharing apartments, persons living alone, small and big families, artists living in their workplace, etc.).

On the east side of the design is as a result of two twin buildings, twisting in front of each other, thus creating a communal courtyard of an interesting shape, adapted for undisturbed coexistence of various activities. For the programmatic distribution the gallery-system is chosen (as a reference to the previously existing typology on site, but also due to the economical and functional advantages of the gallery distribution). The ground floor of the buildings is used for various shops and services. The rest of the building is solidly residential. The west side is composed of two linear elements. The primary one is designed as a series of workshops & laboratories (a function that already existed on that same place) with an attic level and compact facilities block for living. The second element consists of a platform with stores and services, and a residential tower of four floors with a habitable roof. In this page: Underground parkings level of the housing complex.

Tubiformis

S

tarting from a compact grid, the path and the space of rest expand into an organic form inscribed in the pure geometry of the solid. Tubiforims module describes its

dual nature: outside a parallelepiped, inside an excavated, chaotic, ancestral path. The competition proposed by the laboratory involved the meta-projecting of a small pavilion to be realized with plastic plumbing pipes, with the aim of delimiting a fragment of space and suggesting its function. The project site (and then the construction site) chosen is the large lawn in front of the library, inside the Campus in Via Durando, Bovisa.

This sort of alcove carved in the cross-linked parallelepiped, thanks to the weave of the tubular tubes, acts as a sunshade, allowing the parking of the bicycles. The structure can also be used as an exhibition stand, or it is suitable to be placed side by side in several modules, so as to constitute a short gallery. The structure is a network of tubes that extends in three dimensions creating a ‘full’ thickness. The accesses were obtained from the mass through a work of ‘smoothing’, rounding and modelling of the internal shape, made possible through the use of pipes of different lengths. Possible inserts of waxed canvas have been provided to make the structure waterproof. The pipes were assembled by means of 90° constraints in the space, through the use of electrician’s cable ties.

University Island

P

oveglia represents a unique opportunity to design a new campus for researchers, students and citizens. Due to the strong image of the island itself, the project aims to

enhance the existing condition with few strategic actions. The genesis of the new Campus starts a reinterpretation of the existing 3 islands: the idea is to distribute the program into three different and specific environments. The former productive island is turned into the student housing building accommodating as well all the sport, leisure and productive fields. The Former Citadel is converted into the university with all activities for studying such as classes, laboratories, auditorium, the offices and department etc. Finally the “octagon”, which represents the former military defence of the island, is turned into the exclusive library of the new Poveglia University Island. Three specific architectures and landscapes are proposed to inspire the student housing, the university Campus and the public library: the Inhabited Bridge, the Hidden Garden and the Shell. In order to give to the islands openness to the city of Venice, a hybridization of the program is envisioned. The main student and professor activities happen in the “secret garden”, while the mineral square in front of the historical tower becomes a public square for the visitors. The public flow can benefit form some buildings dedicated to culture/exposition and conferences (the new auditorium). The public might benefit as well from the sport and leisure activities inside the “Inhabited Bridge”. In this page: Masterplan, out of scale.

Ragging Domesticity

T

he project investigates the limits of the idea of domesticity. By splitting the household activities and rooms

The standard show ragging domesticity

into individual chambers/cells, the inhabitants-specta-

tors are letting free to experience an untipycal landscape performance that emulate limited domestic surroundings. The Truman show reference is undeniable: spectators became actors, and thanks to the amplifier device, people and spaces are connected to each other to define an unique environment. The characteristic disposition of the rooms are defined to allow actors to stroll about different spaces into an unlimited landscape where familiar occurences are repeated infinitely, and the unmatched activities sounds remind people of the narrowness/ scarcity of the domestic boundaries. The project was presented in the form of A2 format posters, pretending to be an official publication by the Triennale di Milano museum as part of an exXXI Triennale International Exhibition Milan 2017 27.03-12.09 21st Century.
