ABOUT ME Since I was a child, I have lived atmospheres linked to architecture and art thanks to my family.

Architecture has always been influential in my life since the first drawings and construction games, until it has become a real passion, matured to the point of making me choose this path for my future career.

I realised that architecture is not just a simple subject to study from books but it is a progressive development of experiences to chase.

I have strong desire to keep pushing ahead and I see a continuous education as a must for my career.

I feel that I have not yet satisfied my urge to learn, especially when there is so much still to learn in this area; and this increases my ambition and need to test myself on always-different challenges and stimulating projects.

Thanks to my Erasmus experience, I have been able to develop new skills and compare myself with people from other cultures, developing teamwork skills and managing different activities at the same time.

A new life for the castle Restoration studio - Tutor: Davide Del Curto, Carlo De Gaetani

09/18 -02/19

The choices made in this restuaro project are the result of an initial idea: the will to centralize inside the court, located on a higher level than the external square and the connecting roads, the main public functions.

The intent of this restoration project was not only to admire the castle from the outside and consider it as a historical relic, but to exploit the spaces inside it to accommodate the functions already present, redistributing the interior spaces.

In this way the castle comes to life again and is reconfigured as an urban reality, retaining connections and routes with the city and citizens.

The court assumes a strategic value as a place of being, a enclosed and intimate place, protected by the perimeter walls.

The project concept involved creating a volume that would fit on a ruined wing after a fire.

The idea of this volume was born from the need to give a concrete and volumetric answer to the two towers of the west wing, and from the desire to insert an innovative body in the historical seat of the castle relaunching the castle towards a new reality.

The volume rises with respect to the seats making it visible from the square, showing itself as an urban reality and recalling the citizens.

The form of the volume derives from the 1914 design proposals that gave rise to the project of a grounding covering facing the interior of the court that was not visible from the outside and did not conflict with the historical building.

Water and tradition memories: The Wash House Design and restoration studio - Tutor: Paolo Gasparoli

03/18 -07/18

Water represents the generator element from which we started. The washhouse represents the symbiosis between the architecture and the presence of water. We chose to intervene using the presence of an aquifer to recreate the symbolic flow of water towards the lake. The water appears in the first tank and is then used to partially feed an aquarium in steps that grazes ensuring a flow of water towards the lake. The water is then channeled to the outside where it runs through a gutter that determines a path that opens onto the lake. The objective is to take back not only symbolically, but also from the natural point of view, the path determined by the soil and the slopes, which the water has always accomplished. Inside the wash-house we chose to separate, as separate are also the tanks, two interventions, one more directed to the memory that takes up the gestures of the wash-house, and another face to accommodate a function that projects the wash-house in a more current context. The first intervention consists of a pool of water that allows the visitor to come into contact with the water that through the light and reflections animates the space. The second is an aquarium that temporarily accommodates various species of fish to open to the knowledge of the lake, with an attractive trick, the greatest number of users.

Construction design studio Construction studio - Tutor: Gian Luca Brunetti, Paolo Di Luzio

03/19 -07/19

This project focused my attention on building architecture and the technological elements that make it up.

Through the construction of this small building that has different functions, the control of the project was able to succeed, in the months provided by the course, to arrive at a constructive scale of the design.

Developing details of structures deepening the wealth of design not only from the point of view of composition but especially in the knowledge of the elements that build it.

The design process was implemented for the success of the detail solutions, such as a Shed in the roof and an internal metal structure for steps in the top floor.

Understanding and choosing the necessary parts and conceiving their assembly by not focusing on the standard solutions offered by books was the aim of this work.

This experience has made me understand how the detail of architecture is important to its success and can be the qualifying element of the project, not content with simple solutions but pushing knowledge and construction towards the architectural results sought.

House on Lake Geneva Interiors design studio - Tutor: Letizia Ida Caruzzo, Mauro Fabbro

09/17 -02/18

Project for a house on Lake Geneva, a creative phase full of architectural and design references that allowed the development of these spaces.

A house that revolves around a collection of works of art contained in the atelier.

The experience varies from the point of view of the project aimed at creating a quality space in complete view of the lake. On the one hand the desire to open up with great pride towards the natural landscape of the region, on the other hand the awareness of the richness of the interior spaces studied and sought after starting from conceptual sketches up to the design of the lighting and furnishing elements.

This project has allowed me to know and apply modern and contemporary references from the very classics of architecture, design and art, aware of the possibilities of freely drawing spaces with an architectural quality; not only for their content but especially for their formal characteristics, for the choice of materials to use and to be able to range in a wider view in a real interior design.

The Urban Theatre Design studio - Tutor: Valerio Tolve, Luisa Ferro

09/17 -02/18

The intervention proposes the construction of a building inside the consolidated Roman plot of the city of Como. The project fills an identifiable urban void as the ancient hole of the Roman “castrum� plant.

The building is therefore composed of three parts linked, in order: a large glass body containing stairs to easily access from the street to the exhibition rooms situated in the first and second floor of the main building, which has a C-shaped development and is visually closed by the last component of the project, that is a tower that constitutes the ideal background scenic of the open central theatre.

The main reference that inspired the project is the urban theatre of Aldo Rossi, an element often theorized by the architect, with the aim of offering a theatrical perspective to urban life in continuous movement.

Particular is also the attention paid to the prospects where through a material suggestion of Zumthor in the laying of the bricks in order to create a partial shielding between inside and outside, balancing full and empty and filtering the daylight, ensuring a lantern effect at night.

Meetings in the prison Design studio - Tutor: Andrea Di Franco

09/18 -02/19

The project was born from the collaboration between the students of the Politecnico di Milano and the inmates of the prison of stamped. Through scheduled meetings in prison with a group of prisoners chosen for a project of reintegration in society, a project has been developed with the aim of enhancing the social aspect within the prison but at the same time a dimension of individuality for each prisoner.

Through the development of a comic strip, considered an easy to understand tool for communicating architectural content with external interlocutors, a series of specific interventions ranging from the modification of the prison’s outdoor spaces to furnishing elements, up to possible additional facilities.

The goal sought, always in the dynamics of detention, was to seek a social relationship so that it could be guaranteed, different degrees of relationship between the people detained, from more groups up to reach the individuality of each.

The project aims to provide a response to the movement of people away from cities with the aim of settling in places with a greater relationship with nature. This change in place entails both a change in the way people live and in their needs.

The project proposes the extension of the medieval village of Rions in the region of Aquitaine in the south-west of France.

The goal of the project matured during my erasmus period is to work in close connection with a public service to propose a new way of living in the countryside.

The reference I chose to propose, given the rural typology required by the project was that of the farmhouse, a typical Italian rural typology that through bioclimatic devices is able to maintain a self-sufficiency from the point of view of both food and energy production.

The strategy was precisely to create a pedagogical farm that had the threefold objective of attracting tourists, reactivating the local society and also giving a ‘offer to new citizens in arrival.

Grasshopper Digi-Skills - Tutor: Andrea Mercurio

03/19 -07/19

Through the use of this software I was able to approach the themes of parametric architecture and the new possibilities it offers in project management from the design phase and during the design process.

The ease of use of sliders allows you to keep control of the dimensional parameters of the object going to modify them at any time during the conception phase.

Grasshopper also allows the creation of more elaborate and less usual forms through mathematical algorithms managed by nodes and mathematical functions that regulate the program.

From the design phase, you can also simulate loads that act on structures designed through various plug-ins that integrate software such as Kangaroo or Karamba or lunchbox.

The creation of the so-called Freeforms takes up the studies carried out by Otto frei on natural forms to translate them into installations and architectures.

The potential offered by this software also brought me closer to the design of the product, a new opportunity to chase.

Safe - Design contest for Riva1920

03/19 -04/19

“Safe� is an object that seeks, through its design, to combine its aesthetic aspect with a stimulating utility aimed at all family members.

It is a box which, because of its shape, can be traced back to that intimate and reserved aspect of the family nucleus in which the secrets and affections are kept.

The idea of the safe was born from the need to create a secret space inside an object and that needed a mechanism for its opening.

The reference that guided us was that of the Japanese wooden boxes, real works of art, that artisans characterized with elementary mechanisms but very effective and from a care to the smallest details to conceal any clue about their opening and to give them an aesthetic value.

The objective we set ourselves in the design of this project was to create an object that has its own spatial dimension and that characterizes the space in which it is inserted, enriching and influencing it.

Another key theme in the research and development of the project was to create a use of this object without taking it for granted, but inserting movements that could become the occasion of a ‘playful experience and fun for everyone.

The elementary mechanism is based on three pieces that we have traced back to the archetypal elements of the idea of home or the door, the window and the fireplace that through their interpenetration allow the opening and the discovery of an internal room that turns out to be a glove box or a jewelry box.

The materials we propose for the realization are two different wooden dyes, one as clear as oak and one as dark as walnut, that create a sharp contrast between them and accentuate the difference between moving parts and fixed parts going to confer even more a design of this product.

Teseo - Design contest

05/19 -06/19

“Theseus” born from the redesign of the iconic Rietveld’s “Red and Blue”, so-called the three-dimensional concretization of the figurative principles of De stijl thought.

Theseus maintains the intertwining of lines and interlocks at the base of the design of Red and Blue thus remaining a chair composed of minimal elements and almost no mass or volume. In contrast to the rigidity of the support and seating surfaces, instead, it has a thin stretched cord that emphasizes the characteristic of the starting object, of lightness, not interrupting the space, floating almost in the air.

Office Space for a private - Moro Spa

09/18 -06/19

The project was born as an extension of the existing office of a company that requires the construction of a new space for representation and meetings.

The challenge is in facing the project according to the rules of the local building regulations that imposes limits in size and distances.

But above all, the stimulus that also becomes a project occasion is the presence of the trees adjacent to the building that make the addition become a glass prism that opens towards the garden of the property.

To resume the natural course of the trees the pillars are designed inclined and the total wood covering makes the office assume a natural and welcoming look.

The details have been studied so that the ceiling does not fall on those who live there, but thanks to the inclination, you can open even more the view of the park.

Mario Bellini Internship

03/18 -07/18

During my internship at Mario Bellini Architetti, attended in the third year of my degree, I had the opportunity to observe and make contact with the world of work and with its great variety.

I have been able to follow an executive project in phase of completion for the reorganization of the external spaces and the botanical garden of the Pinacoteca di Brera through a project funded by Giorgio Armani.

At the same time, however, since the week of the Salone del Mobile, I had the opportunity to see many stands and showrooms designed by the studio, going to broaden my vision beyond the architecture.

No less important I was also able to attend some presentations of design products designed by the same architect and followed in the construction phase by the studio.

This experience has served me to understand how the world of architecture is very varied and rich in different areas of interest.
