P R E S E N E TAT I O N
Architecture is constantly evolving, following the shape of the cities through the ages. Is an interdisciplinary entity, essential for the evolution of the society. Is the link between people and space, not just fisically. Architecture is “relation” in different kind of ways. Not just tangible, especially today that topics like instantaneousness, iperconnession and ubiquity are at stake. Today there’s no certanty, no rules, no principles, just contradictions. Everything vanish in a blink! Architecture has always had to adapt to the “spirit of the age”, even if it seems like a Zeitgeist doesn’t exist anymore. Sincet he beginning architecture needed to keep up with progress. Nowadays, that our work environment is overloaded, it has to deal with digitalization more than anything! I actually have more an artistic point of view than a techincal one. But what I learned is that an architect has always to be aware. That’s why I tried to focus on my wickness rather than my strenghts. I devoted myself to learn more about construction techniques, considering that I come from a totally different environment. I learned and I acquired experience in wooden, steel and concrete constructions, because I know that I have to learn as much as I can to be extremely flexible to different contexts. I’ll always be a creative person, so I’ll never forget that architects need imagination first of all. We have to look forward an imagine of the world that doesn’t exist yet. But on the other hand I think we must not forget our craftwork heritage and we have to think about the feasibility of our ideas. Considering the level that technologies has reached, there’s no limits. We just have to imagine.

ENSAMBLE FABRIKA - PETRIFIED RIVER
Ensamble Fabrica is a factory project that the studio will use as production center of prototypes and prefab elements designed and realized through automation systems. The building consists in two lines of 13 pillars that hold up 13 trusses. The construction process is quite simple: a dry assemblation of steel profiles used as container to pour concrete inside after placing a rebars reinforcement. Each truss lifted and connected, step by step, by two cranes with a system of beams to support the structure until the pouring up on the ceiling. The River is a project that follows a series of land-art works started with Structures of Landscape, a project in Fishtail, MT, United States. The concept consists in the emulation of the river path, coming from the mountain and ending in the lake. Three blocks of reinforced concrete represent those three elements (mountain, river, lake) just placed in balance one to another.

HELLO WOOD
TEAM LEADERS: NOMAD STUDIO
The tower is one of the most important archetypes of our settlements. It is a symbol of continuity in time and space that connects the past and the present. Climbing the viewing tower, we can see not only the expanded Csóromfölde with its new buildings from this year, but from its top we can also glance back at Csórompuszta, the former site of Project Village. The tower is on the axis between the current village and the manor in the distance, being located precisely at the end of the high street. It also preserves something of the past in its construction, recalling the first phase of the community’s settlement: the shape of the top of the tower reminds us of chimneys in Csórompuszta, and wood from earlier projects that have lost their function was also used to build it. The project’s symbolic element is reinforced by the fact that it does not just have one entrance, but you can get to the top from any of its sides.

WALICOW PROJECT - SPOLIA PROFESSORS: GUIDO MARIO MORPURGO, ANNALISA DE CURTIS
The end of the war represented the aweking from a collective nightmare for Poland. Only fragments of memories remain of a nightmare, as in Warsaw only few shreds still bear witness of the trauma of destruction. Between the process of destruction and re-construction, these precarious fragments play an uncanny (unheimlich) role: as survivors for the former and as scraps of a fearsome memory for the latter. Today the city wishes to move on, endangering the permanence of the fragments of its past. The project on Walicรณw 14 represents both an act of removal (verdrangung) and protection on an open wound of the city. Dialoging with the material of the former roofs, a monumental lead covering box is lowered over the ruin in order to frame and filter its perception. The act is intended with a critic aim: while hiding most of the building, the gigantic cover puts it in relationship with the bigness of the contemporary city, which has grown meanwhile around it with no care for the scale of the former blocks.

WIREFRAME RESILIENCE PROFESSORS: CAMILLO BOTTICINI, MATTEO FACCHINELLI, PIERPAOLO DONELLI
The project is concieved as a quick and resilient response to the primary dangers that Red Hook will face in the near future: rising tides and flooding. With balanced concern both on this natural threat that will invade certain (predictable) grounds and on an urban reality in which the already unstable structure of a neglected suburban area in New York meets the potential of gentrification, three levels of intervention redesign the city: a protective green ecosystem that acts as a sponge, a scaffolding wireframe to make up for (and even gain surplus from) the losses, and a public shoreline that implements indispensable urban qualities. The utopian nature of this concept that creates virgin lands is made achievable, following the theorical principles of Yona Friedman and Constant Nieuwenhuys, the technological capacities of scaffolding architecture and an attentive approach that involves both public and private figures in design and actualization processes.

NEXT STADIUM TUTOR: PAOLA PLEBA - DAVIDE ALLEGRI
The tesis work attempt to merge the common passion for sport with the research and design activity, setting the goal of defining a new sports infrastructure model that can answer to the contemporary and future needs of sport, its protagonists and the city: The Nxt Stadium. The following realization, supported by constant research and numoerous contacts with scholars in the sectorm is divided into four phases. The first examines sport and its postodern definition, with particular attention to the last thirty years, understood as socio-economical an cultural indicators of a society. Successively in analyzed the evolution of sport’s events and of the subjets involved, outlining the present and the future needs of the world of performance and the new characteristics assumed. This is followed by a survey of the places that host sporting events, how they have evolved both in terms of users and the composition of functions, and in the relationship with the urban context. The analysis, interpretation and cataloging of the case studies, chosen on the basis of the pre-established objective and the outcomes of the previous phases, represent the methodological backbone of the project preparation work. The fourth and last phase collects the tesults of the research and merges them into a design experience, which gives form and content to the new model of sports infrastructure, paying specific attention to its components and links with the historical urban space, hypothesizing its verification in a precise context

THE NEW YORKER ARCHMEDIUM COMPETITION - VERTICAL CITY
New York is a city with horizontal lines but it is growing vertically with the skyscrapers. The New Yorker Tower want to be a continuos part of the city with its life and architecture, a space open to the public reality. Opposite to the anonymous architecture of the skyscrapers that don’t take in account the context of the city, its identity, and the lifestyle, The New Yorker wants to be a specific answer for the city of New York, land where high-rise buildings. A solution for the future of the city and its vertical growing preserving its characteristics and the reality of the city blocks and their specific features.

Cristiano Gerardi Riccardo Gialloreto CONCEPT
manifesto is an independent nonprofit fanzine. Its purpose is to spread bobbling ideas on architecture. It is meant as a loud and direct device of comunication: printed into A2 front-back papers, it is then folded into A5 format in order to be easily distributed as a flyer. Once in our hands, unfolding it you can read the articles and then, flipping to the back, post the manifesto on the wall. find us on:
