01 I Community Center, Italy
Community Center
Approdo dei Calimali, Fagnano Olona, VA, Italy Masters Course, Architectural Construction Studio, 2017 The project consists of rehabilitating the site with a new architectural intervention. Our approach to this was reestablishing the existing functions and keeping most of the concrete outer walls where afterwards a new building is proposed within having a focus on the community aspect where it has a list of multi purpose programs within and loops around the center meeting point of the community reinforcing the idea of a collective community. Different tools were used during the semester while in the design phase where we did a photogrammetric survey where we imported a point-cloud of the site and had a better understanding of the space and the programs also we used grasshopper to model the building to optimize modeling time and have a clear geometrical reference for the project.

02 I Train Station, Italy
Railway Station
Sesto San Giovanni, Milan, Italy Masters Course, Complex Construction Studio 1, 2018 The project is conceived from going through the studies we have made of the site itself and how we could address some of the problems with railway stations, one of which was big crowds. So we thought if we had two bridges that simultaneously act as structural elements in themselves the frequency of pedestrian movement could be distributed efficiently and also would activate the public zones where the start and end of the two bridges would be. The two bridges are distinguished by function also by the envelope or lacking off. As there is one bridge that acts as a pedestrian bridge that is open 24hr where as the other bridge is closed in the night as it also has direct access to the underground metro. Between the arches there is a tensile cover which creates interesting spaces within the platforms also at the entrance as a plaza is created for public use. The different functions are under the cover and also around the entry aligned with the train tracks and platforms. The technical rooms and different amenities are found underground where there is also a corridor that connects from the metro to the elevator at the first platform for easier access to people.

02 I Master Plan & Floor Plan
Master Plan The site of the station was already foreseen in a master plan project by Renzo Piano (RPBW), so we had to take that into consideration when placing the two arches that are the main two axis that connect the new masterplan with the existing context on the other side of the area. We decided to place one main cross bridge linking the main road with the new boulevard and the other cross bridge that would be open and accesible 24hr was connecting the main plaza from the main road to the network of pathways towards the new medical research center and parks.

Grasshopper Model Definition Arch Truss LOD: 100
In this scheme of the GrassHopper tree/ definition, we can see the different groupings made up of different components which link to each other and to other groups with an input-output system which results in a reference mechanism that can be controlled parametrically to get the desired dimension of the structure of the model.

03 I Observatory Houses, Italy
Observatory Houses
Roccascalegna, Italy YAC Competition, Finalist, Team BKMS, 2017 The challenge of this project was to preserve and increase the existing values of the architecture and nature of the city of Roccascalegna, therefore the entire project was conceptualized around the idea of serving to these two important potentials of the area. The program of the observatory houses, similarly as the urban structure of the village, is spread in a grid, elevated from the ground, to protect the existing vegetation and not disturb the wildlife existing on the hill, below the fortress. The grid is a light, modular structure which does not require excavations of the ground, fulfilling the most important ethic of intervention in architectural heritage – reversibility of the intervention. The new intervention stays quiet without interfering with resonance of the fortress as a non-invasive approach but in contrary it complies with its history and story. The accessibility to the fortress of Roccascalegna, besides the preserved, existing routes are created through new added ramps which are extended parallel to the fortress, providing new perspective points towards the castles’ structure and surrounding nature which could not be experienced previously. The added value of architecture and nature (views) through journeys in the ramp will create the sense of meditation and spirituality for visitors. Moreover, the ramp path will solve the problem of accessibility to the castle with regard to age or disability. Intermediate plateaus were introduced during the path to provide tourists with viewpoints where they can enjoy the route and their individual perception and not just the final destination – the fortress. https://www.youngarchitectscompetitions.com/othereditions/view/id/25#winners

03 I Observatory Houses, Italy
The Grid Layout The grid itself and the order of observatory spaces were inspired by the tectonic order the village and their adaptation to the architecture of the castle. Moreover, simplicity of the architectural design is based on the idea of adapting to the existing structure and nature while quietly creating a symbiosis between the old and new. The houses are spread comfortably throughout the grid creating privacy for tourists staying for the nights. Special plateaus were introduced as space for campers to set their tents. The majority of observatory spaces are accessed from the ramps at the back leaving them with full view of the sky and the surrounding nature. Space inside the observation houses is plain, leaving the architecture take individual spiritual perception and give attention to the most important emotion – the stars and the sky. This relation is manifested with the presence of big openings and intermediate spaces such as big loggias and rooftops.

04 I Fluid Subtraction, Design to Fabrication Course
FLUID SUBTRACTION
Design to Fabrication, Assignment The complimentary abnormality of the fluid inside exposed in relation to the exterior to me seemed interesting as a case study because of its relation to not only architecture but also social behavior, and such where the form and colors expressed can also be interpreted accordingly to our outer and inner perception of ourselves and space. The procedure of leaving only 50% of a cube with a dimension of 6 cm was done through grasshopper by having a malleable sphere which changed its shape and size into irregular fluid forms which was later used to subtract with from the cube. All the time whilst changing the parameters of the subtracting object, a panel with the volume of the remaining cube was placed. Using the panel and the parameters i kept changing the form until i had reached half or 50% (108cm3) of the cubes original volume (216cm3).
