Expansion of University San Tommaso in Pavia: redistribution of the interior spaces, retreive church to library, project of media library and conference hall. (Master thesis)

“La vita degli edifici si fonda sulla loro architettura, sulla permanenza dei loro tratti formali più caratteristici, e benché possa sembrare un paradosso, è tale permanenza ciò che permette di apprezzarne i cambiamenti. Il rispetto dell’identità architettonica di un edificio è ciò che ne rende possibile il cambiamento, ciò che ne garantisce la vita.” Rafael Moneo, La vida de los edificios.
This is the project’s starting point: work on the building and his context respecting their architectural identity. So I’ve worked on the existing and on unoccupied spaces that were able to receive new architectures. First step was to change the internal distribution, after studying historical maps (Giuseppe Piermarini) and according to the university needs (classrooms, conferance hall, library): the main corridor was modified, and the north courtyard’s facade was doubled to restore the original proportion that were square (altered by Piermarini in 1700. Look at page 8). This new body is a portico on the groud floor and on the first floor it takes part of the corridor. The most important operation concerns the ex Church of San Tommaso (1200) that suffered a lot of changes, like demolition of the righ aisle and the chapels. Now is a sort of “multifunctional container”, the intent was to retreive the church to his original volume with a recustruction of the right nave, two chapels (minimal form) and demolition of the floor. Here is located the new University Library. I’ve repeated some typical elements taken from the Dominican tradition: subdivision in anterior and posterior church. This will is shown from the roofing (that was chanched) to the plant where a wooden septum surrounds the reading room. So in the first and dark part there’re shelving while in the brightest area is located the reading room: “A man with a book goes to the light. A library begins that way.” Louis Kahn. Along the anterior church’s perimeter the books are exposed like the XVIII libraries’s wall system. A starway located between two brick walls leads to the first floor where books are the main characters. Afterwards the project included an expansion to the city: the first building was created by extruding the transept whose boundary is imposed by the Roman isolated. Here is located the media library with offices and some pc workstations. Other building is the extrusion of the main corridor (first floor): here is the conference hall for 360 people. On the ground floor we find a covered square that is bordered by massive pillars,which remember the Roman buildings.

Exhibition pavilion into University Campus Milano Bovisa
20
The project area is located into Bovisa Campus (Milan), is a green site with some irregular trees and it’s bounded by a gate that denies the direct relation with the road. Now it’s unused because there aren’t any equipment and attractions. The park is originated from the aim to keep a green area in order that it will become an attractive point for the students and not only. The park’s paths are determined by people’s flows and there are three different areas depending on the relation between the park and his surrounding. The space close to the street is paved and it’s equipped with benches and trees. The exhibition pavillon is located in the middle of the park becoming a covered square that hold a cafeteria (ground floor), a big and versatile exhibition hall that involves some paths on both levels, and a bookshop (under ground).
PLATES Three big square plates are overlapped to define two spaces: a covered square (ground floor) and a space where is located the main exhibition hall (under ground). PILLARS A regular grid of pillars was applied to set the spaces (distance 9 mt). VOLUMES Then the volumes were inserted between the plates. The cube connects groundfloor with the exhibition room that fills all the basement, excluded patios. The other volume contains the cafè. HOLES The plates were perforated by three holes which allows light to reach defined points. These were opened over the patios to guarantee illumination and to look out from different levels.

Light studying Artificial light illuminates volumes that are made of translucent glass. They become a sort of lanterns when the sun goes down. Natural light is used in a direct or a indirect way as needed.

Bioclimatic building used as small architectural studio
26
The project consists in a small building for an architectural studio. The bioclimatic principles were adopted for the whole design, so I’ve treated fronts in a different way, according with the orientation: the south front has a big window to profit by solar energy, but partly protected by sunscreens; the north front has only one small window to guarantee natural ventilation. Others fronts are completely closed. The building is composed by two floors, on the ground there’s a small library and a bathroom and on the first floor there’s the studio. Interior comfort is guaranteed through “chimney effect”: air comes in and gets out of skylight on the roof. Versatily andquick installation are the main features of the project also low cost and low environmental impact take part in a creation of a sustainable project. The whole volume is made of wood: this material is renewable and recyclable, it consumes a little bit energy during production and installation, it doesn’t release emissions and toxic dust. Use of wood leads also energy efficiency: wood’s transmittance (U=0,13 W/ mK ) allows to minimize heat bridges and it improves hygrothermal climate because wood absorbs quickly and releases slowly humidity. Finally the building is raised from the ground to allow ventilation and to avoid thermal exchanges.
a) The south front absorbs sun’s heat: in summer solar position is about 70° and sun’s rays partially filtered by brise soleil; in winter his position is about 24°.
b) The aeration system allows cross ventilation that cools the building: air comes in through perimeter windows and it gets out across the skylight on the roof (“chiminy”effect).

Hydraulic toll in Parabiabo and Villoresi canal: new center for promotion of culture and water
30
The project is located near Milan, exactly in Parabiago. This interesting area is a nevralgic point thank to the hydraulic toll and the join between Villoresi canal and his secondary canal. The project has improved this place through the creation of a museum with an educational park (for promotion of culture and water), an hostel , a restaurant and a bike rental. This area takes part in a wide argument: it’s included in a system that links different parks (gravel pits, WWF Park and Roccolo Park) through cycle paths. The project started from survey and restoration of the existing buildings. It consists of a green area made of podium and a cycle paths that links the existent park with the canal towpath. The first building (already existing) contains infopoint, bike rental and the guardian’s home. The ex historical archive is used as a restaurant with a view on the canal. On the other side there’s an open space delimited by the street that becomes the threshold. It keeps a visual and functional link between the two sides. Here develops the plaza-buildings system which follows the secondary canal and the existing building. The south area is delimitated by the existing wall that surround workers garage.
