TEA-MBER TRADITION IS INNOVATION .site SHIRAKAWA-CHO, GIFU, JAPAN .course 4th year - Politecnico di Milano - 2018 Construction and Sustainability design studio .mentors L. M. Fabris, R. S. Adhikari .partners Group project of three With the gradual depopulation of Japanese biggeer cities in favor of the countryside, the village of Shirakawa-cho aims to offer new possibilities to the youngest population. The offer is student’s dorms, workshop facilities and local experience facilities. Tea-mber has the role of being a bridge between the new educational facilities of the village and the existing population. The design takes advantage of the village’s thriving production of tea and wood, used respectively for function and structure, to create a teahouse which jumps from traditional cerimonies to new engaging workshops, making it local for the residents but also be attractive to tourists.

OASIS THRIVE OF SUSTAINABILITY .site DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES .course Green building course - Europ.Education - 2021 .mentors Yoel Karaso .partners Group project of two Dubai, hot desert climate, a challenge for vegetation and sustainable architectural techniques. Oasis, to figth the climate uses a mixture of passive techniques such as massing, ventilation and natural shading, and active techniques such as water cycle, solar panels and geothermal pumps, to help lower the impact on the energy consumption of the building. Still, the sustainable approach is found in the contruction site organization that is minimized by choosing local materials that are quickly producable and by prefabrication.

Minding the issues brought up by the urban studio, it was also importan to visit the site and interview passengers and residents to better understand such a peculiar neighborhood. After that, Cultural Sprawl has born with the aim to regain the pride of Hongkou in three phases in order to attract both public and investors interest.

MULTI-HUB ARCHITECTURE GUIDING SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR .site SHANGHAI, CHINA .course 5th year - Politecnico di Milano thesis - 2021 .mentor Chen Zhen In the middle of Hongkou, the site stands between traditional architecture and new high-ride buildings. The lost sense of community of the locals defines the project and its purpose to create a social hub of different activities that attarcts people of different age, social background, etnicity and gender. The multi-functional and multi-purpose design aims to be active all day between the buildings and the park. The visual of the site tries to keep the palette and textures of the overall neighourhood, but trying to include also newer technologies and techniques.
