I am Samuele Agrimi, born in Florence, where I immediately developed an interest in architecture. I moved to study architecture at the Politecnico di Milano after finished my high school. My interests in architecture range from computational design to construction details. For me Architecture is a true passion that goes beyond any other hobbies.
BACHELOR THESIS
In constant search for perfect biomimicry in architecture as a form findinf. Driven by the search for computational methods that can be drawn from nature as a source of already perfect and optimized shapes.

“CANTINA CERESE”
approaching the Ceresé winery, at first only the reddish line of the roof is perceived, with a double curvature, suspended over the vineyards by slender corten steel columns.
Below it, the space of the open square extends, so close to the rows of vines and the surrounding woods that you can almost touch them with your hand.At the center of the coloured reinforced concrete roof, a large circular opening widens leading the gaze to the sanctuary of the Madonna del Carmelo, which dominates the whole territory from the ridge of Montevecchia.
As the slope of the land decreases, three fronts of the building below the square emerge. The facade binds to the tones of the clays of these lands, through the vibrant play of light and shadow, given by the relief texture of the bricks.The work spaces are located there. They are
distributed in four main naves, open in their terminal part towards the wood that borders the service driveway.
Inside, a succession of exposed concrete arches marks the depth of the spaces of the barrel cellar, while the first and last naves receive zenithal light, which caresses the walls, marking the regularity of the design of the formwork. The first nave is intended to house the company’s artistic collections and to promote cultural activities.
Upstairs, a closed volume is used for the display and sale of farm products.
Its windows, which overlook the covered square, reflect fragments of the surrounding landscape and of this architecture which is destined to mark it with its discreet pres- ence.The roof welcomes the local earths, sown with wildflowers, giving greater kindness to the architectural intervention.

“WALKING A/ROUND”
The project was developed in the faculty of Architecture of the Politecnico di Milano at the landscape infrastructure laboratory with the structure calculation modules and a territory digitisation module. Walking around is a project in the northern park of the city of Milan. The problem tackled is the construction of a pedestrian bridge in the northern area of Milan. Right from the early stages of the project, we realised how important it was to have a shape that would connect the three areas divided by the road.
The circle is the minimum shape that encapsulates our design idea, elevated above the ground, to create not just a bridge as a crossing, but a promenade. Two ramps with a 5% gradient, ideal for bicycles, are required to reach the elevated part. In fact, the circle has a concept of infinity in it, so it was possible not only to connect the three areas, but to create an elevated path through
these three different areas, the wooded part to the north, the agricultural area to the south and an area with sports fields to the east. A decisive part of the course was to design the structure. The bridge is supported by 33m beams specially calculated according to European standards.
The same calculation and dimensioning procedure was applied for the abutment, which is formed by custom profiles inside which the water management and electricity cables were inserted. The entire structure consists of 32 beams 33 m long, plus ramps, and it is possible to assemble everything in the industry and then assemble it on the construction site, for fast construction times without blocking traffic on the road below. All the construction drawings of the project have been developed down to a scale of 1:2 precisely to indicate the feasibility of the project, along with all the necessary installations.
The following digrams represent well how the shape is derived from a need to connect the areas, which are disconnected from each other, with the circle, which represents the minimal shape that has in it a concept of Strategy
The representation aims to summarise in a particular way, how the new bridge affects the life of the individual citizen, connecting a neighbourhood, which otherwise would not have access, to the northern park.
with the inclusion of the new bridge we tried to modify the routes throughout the park area, arriving at the conclusion of the plan. The difference
New asset of the park Meeting area
The wooden path becomes raised in the wooded zone Forest zone near the bridge there is a lake to increase the local fauna Lake area
Widening the path to have a larger raised area
The pillar and the structural part remain below ground level in order to have a clean pillar without support elements in the lower part

Photography
Photography has always been one of my greatest passions. The possibility to give a personal point of view in such an impersonal art has always fascinated me. With photography I also combine another passion of mine: travelling. I like to give my photos a personal atmosphere depending on the place I visit.
