ISOLATO urban scale project Ferrara,2013 Architectural Design Laboratory partner Maurizio Brambilla professor Alessandro Gaiani
The earthquake of 22 May 2012 struck violently Ferrara, it left behind some tough urban voids. Theme of the project is to fill one of these gaps with different functions: residential and commercial. It was an opportunity for understanding the inner nature of Ferrara starting from its history. Ferrara is a city with two faces: inside and outside the walls. Our analysis starts from here: the project area is located outside the city walls and the design process can be read as a critic to the fragmentation of the newer part of the city. The void is settled up in a relation of rejection with the criticized surrounding: simplicity of form, introspection and randomness become the main features of the project. The space came out from the relations it creates and no more because the functions it offers. No matter where the home or the store or the school are placed, the core of the project is the relationship between the citizen and the spaces in which he lives every day.
SUTURING THE CITY urban scale project Ferrara,2014 Urban Design Laboratory partner Giuseppe Macaluso and Giulia Nisi professor Venturi Marco
The project concerns the rehabilitation and the re-use of a neglected area adjiacent to the historic center of Ferrara but cut out by the raylway path. The inexistent relationship between the city center of Ferrara and the land beyond the railway sets a fracture of the living space of the city. The premise of a punctual intervention to rehabilitate the decadent industrial area is to face up with the fracture set up by the regional infrastructure. Our reflection focuses on the role of the infrastructure: could it became a link or it will always be a strict separation between two different sides of the city? We design a new connection system made by a pathway that connects the two main poles of the intervention: the train station and a new pedestrian subway. These two are the new connection points with the north side of the city. Our proposal focused on the train station and on the suspended pathway linking the historical center with the university campus raised on the dismissed industrial estate.
MBOKA BILANGA
urban scale project about the urban enclaves in Kinshasa the case study of the Selembao valley Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, 2016 Master thesis partner Giuseppe Macaluso professor Luca Emanueli
Mboka Bilanga are two words from Lingala, the main language spoken in Kinshasa (DRCongo) and it means the mixture of city and agricultural fields. Our thesis proposes a model to manage the demographic explosion of cities such as kinshasa that are facing food insecurity, informal appropriation of land and geological fragility using the tool of urban agriculture. Analysing the city we identified four main different kind of urban landscape: the metropolis city center, former white city, actual economic HQ of the city; saturated areas, still part of the colo- nial city, but just for black workers, nowadays completely saturated; urban hybrid, post colonial expansion of the city, basically built on the unstable land that the belgian colony used as a limit; rural hybrid, satellite rural town that little by little are becoming part of the megalopolis. We focused our work on the urban hybrid because we consider it the root of most of the geological problems of the city and because even if it is geographically part of the capital it still doesn’t guarantee the access to the right of the city.

A FLEXIBLE CONSTAINT
a strategy for a flexible and anarchic developement of the Kunda Kindu market and bus station in Kitui, Kenya 2016 UN-Habitat international competition partners Michele Spatari, Giuseppe Macaluso, Rocco Marafatto
The aim of the project is to create a clear hierarchy of the space taking into account the necessity of a great flexibility that a lively expanding site as Kunda Kindu requires, not only because of the mixed functions that it welcomes but also in anticipation of the expected urban transformations. Kunda Kindu is a turbulent and unorganized space afflicted by the absence of public equipment and a poor management of public space. Despite this the area is vitalized by different functions, market and bus station overall that cohabit and interact in an advantageous way. The project follows through the growth of the market with the gradual combination of two elements: The Module, made up by an elemental steel frame, represents the skeleton of a basic informal cell that dominates the life of african cities. The space defined by the geometry of the skeleton is willing to host the needs of its occupants: flexibility is the key feature. The Grid is the basic infrastructure. Kunda Kindu can gradually take shape on the grid following the needs of the city and its inhabitants.

This is a project of virtual representation of the Brandhorst Museum of Munchen. We have been asked to redraw the entire building from the volume to some details and to represent it with a 3d model and some renders. The software we used are Allplan for the virtual model and Cinema4d for the rendering. left-up: an exposition room ; right-up: the stairs at the entrance of the expo ; left-down: a view of the facade ; right-down: the detail of the facade.
ISTANBUL (LAND)SCAPE artwork about urbanspace explioitation photographs on cardboard, 70 x 70 cm camera: Olympus OM10 film: Tudorcolor 200 Istanbul, 2014 Architecture, City and Cinema
This work is a reflection about the city of Istanbul and the representation of its spaces through the medium of photography. Nowadays the public space in Istanbul is confined into a stiff grid of regulations, laws and ordinances in order to decrease the risk of public gatherings and to keep an “adequate security level�. Among this constraining grid take place the ordinary life of the people trying to escape all this restrictions and looking for a free exploitation of the urban space.
INFOGRAFIC (for TAK)
infografic about the design process of a design firm Istanbul, 2014 Logic and Theory of Design partners Adrian de Miguel Simon and Soner Gunay
During my erasmus in Istanbul I had the opportunity to collaborate with TAK Kadikoy, a creative innovation space that welcomes citizens, designers, volunteers, students and supporters establishing national and international collaborations to create ideas and products for public good. As an independent organization it creates programs and projects based on volunteering and collaboration with the contribution of a variety of designers from different disciplines. The purpose of the collaboration was to assimilate the notions to comunicate TAK’s design process through an infographic.
PAESAGGIO AUTOGARFO stereoscopical mapping of Kinshasa Ferrara, 2015 Landscape Design Laboratory
This map superimposes different factor by their own figure ground, in order to better understand the dynamics who underwave the city of Kinshasa. The overview of the city get depth through the overlapping of different layers: it shows the relations between the main factors playing different roles in the social and economic dynamics of Kinshasa. It is an attempt to tell by the representation of the urban scape something more than physical information.
