Architect

years, exploring various phases of design and scales ranging from urban to architectural and interior ones. I chose the master degree in Building Architecture for its interdisciplinary approach and to deepen my particular interest in the construction detail and the executive aspects of the project, aspects that I would like to investigate also in the workplace.

PALASESTO to the 2026 olympics Sesto San Giovanni. Milano prof. Tomaso Monestiroli Design Studio VI I-II sem. 2018/2019

software used: Revit, Termolog, Midas, Ces, Photoshop main task: plant design, 3D views, masterplan challenges/achievements: management of a complex project in all technological and executive aspects

The project for the new sports center in Sesto San Giovanni is located exactly where the current Palasesto is, as the idea is to replace it and expand the current offer in order to create a place that is suitable to host some of the activities planned for the 2026 Olympic Games in Milano-Cortina. With the design of our project we wanted to recreate a relationship between two parts of the city that have been separated by the railway for a long time but that will necessarily have to return to dialogue in order to re-establish a unitary and organic vision of the city. First of all we have bordered the lot with a single-story volume positioned according to the grid of the historic city, the one to the north-west of our lot. This volume collects all the service and public spaces, protects the activities that take place inside and at the same time acts as a filter between public and private space. The sport activities take place in separate volumes; the main one contains the ice rink provided with seats to accomodate up to 3500 spectators, the second volume contains the swimming pools and another one is the climbing tower. All this three buildings emerge from the fence to be visible and easily identifiable from the street working as a landmark for the area, they are also rotated in order to reconstruct the axes on which the Falck area was set and finally recreate at least within the lot a synergy between these two parts of the city.

Spa Hotel **** Ceuta. Spain prof. Carlos Ferreira Design Studio V II sem. 2017/2018

software used: Revit, Photoshop main task: 3ds view challenges/achievements: high slope of the land

We are in Ceuta, a nice city on Mediterranean coast where different traditions, lenguages and religions cohexist from ages. The reason is that it is a spanish autonomous city but on the North Coast of Africa. As a result of that strange combination, the city reveals itself to be an extremely multicultural city, rich of history, in which various architectural styles cohexist. What I am asked to do there is to replace the old public market with a new receptive activity that hosts an Hotel*****, a SPA, a restaurant and other additional services for tourists, as tourism is slowly increasing. The challenge was to face with a context that was completely different from the one I was used to work with; starting from the architectural technologies and materials, until the high slope of the land that was an absolute new entry for me. I decided to take the most out of this opportunity trying to experience something new. I studied the history and the characteristic of the islamic architecture in order to enrich the spaces with a local atmosphere and to keep as much respect as possible in this big intervention. Moreover, the level difference between the two opposite sides of the block finally reveal to be successfull in the differentiations of the flows between one more public access that faces the seaside and one more private side where the hotel rooms overlook. [with T. Corti]

CONCEPT

The concept developed from the idea of a fence enclosing the block into which three volumes are inserted (SPA, hotel rooms, restaurant)The main purpose was to recall the traditional islamic constructions with some elements: a space closed to the outside but open in the interior with various courtyards, the materials and the color.

PERSPECTIVE SECTION 20

The infrastructure project In the contemporary city

Milano. San Cristoforo prof. Bruggi Matteo, Folli Maria Grazia, Fassi Francesco Design Studio IV “Structure and Infrastructure in the Landscape” I sem. 2017/2018 software used: Sketchup, Photoshop, Recap main task: concept development, masterplan design challenges/achievements: the ability of taking complex design decision integrating coherently the functional, economic and socio-cultural perspectives

The project main purpose was to face the problem of the infrastructure design in the contemporary cities; particluarly in the context of the reconversion of the former disused Milanese railways. The area of intervention in fact is San Cristoforo, a suburban neighborhood of Milan that runs along Naviglio Grande and that once represented an important point of exchange for the trains that were coming from the south of the Country. The Naviglio represents the most relevant landscape element of the area which determines the design practice, beside the linear park requested by the PGT. In addition to the design of the park that will extend until the construction by Aldo Rossi for a new railway station that had never been finished and that is now completely abandoned, the area will be provided with public services and infrastructures that will made a new attractive pole of the city out of it. The design of the new railway station has developed from the concept of “volume zero”, as an interpretation of the urban renewal with an attention not to implode volumetrically the already dense fabric of the contemporary city. This led us to the creation of a spatial element rather than a building, a landmark that with its scanning of modular elements helps to provide a measure of the space and the landscape in which it is immersed.

Renovation of an old summer camp Borca di Cadore. Belluno prof. Scaramellini Enrico, Ferrugiari Anna Interior Design Studio II sem. 2016/2017

software used: Sketchup, Photoshop, Autocad main task: Axonometric and 3d views, furniture detailing challenges/achievements: intervention inside an existing building that has to be maintained in the structure and volumes.

The site of this project is an old summer camp designed by a famous italian architect named Edoardo Gellner in the ‘50s for the Eni employees’ families. This place has been abandoned for a long time but is still full of charm and poetry and what we tried to do was to bring new life in this definitly suggestive and beautiful place. Starting from the analysis of the place we’ve tried to meet the needs of the locals giving them back some functions that are missing in the area. We’ve planned to use one of the dorms as a residence for teachers from far away who need a place to stay. The space has been designed with the main pourpose of maintain the original spatiality; the little spaces originally intended for the children become the private housing unit of each resident. As the space is very minimal, we’ve thought to maximize it combining partitions and furniture. The other activities as working or eating are located in common spaces. The other activity we want to bring in this place is a public library for young local students who have asked for some spaces for studying in. This is why we’ve deserved an other dorm for this function, dividing the levels according to different needs and kind of study, from an individual one to a group one. We think that this activity would easily be supported also by the presence of the teachers who live there. [ with A. Santoro and N. Baratta ]

Project in an extra-urban context Dormelletto. Novara prof. Talamo Cinzia, Sangiorgi Claudio Construction Design Studio II sem. 2015/2016

software used: Sketchup, Autocad main task: roof detailing challenges/achievements: face the construction in the most executive aspect being able to search for solutions and products that meet my needs or adapt what is available to achieve the desired result.

The project concerns the design of a small building, located in an extra-urban context, intended for small-sized B&B. I started searching for references in which the relationship with nature and context was brought to the fore. Once the volume was defined the research moved to materials, construction elements, executive techniques and environmental and functional requirements. The most interesting aspect was to learn how to govern this system of relationship that guide the architecture configuration process leading it to the executive solution. I had the opportunity to consult technical sheets, contact manufacturers and adapt the solutions on the market to the needs of the project. All this process is very near to the real professional practice and made me passionate in the construction survey and research.

[with C. Vecchione and R. Dellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orto]

CONCEPT All the design process developed from the observation of the context and the place we were working in. We figured out to be in a very strategic and special place, the lake view right in front of us and the mountains rising right behind us. This starting point guided the shape of our small construction to follow the ground level curves and the shape of the mountains. The final configuration of the house in fact mimic it with a kind of open arms towards the lake.
