eARThouse Site: Abetenim, Ghana Project Start Date: 01/07/16 Project End Date: 14/11/16 Project lead: LOAD (Designing Team) Project organizer: Nka Foundation
The project refers to the local patio house and involves the arts production, becoming a platform for cultural exchange. Foundations are made by local granite stones while the technique used for eARThouse provides rammed earth load-bearing walls. To achieve the widest spread of rammed earth, it must become able to compete with other cheap techniques such as cement blocks, in term of costs. For this reason new metal formworks have been made to promote a prefabricated feature, as a cost-effective tool, meant to be used several times. To prevent from direct sunlight the main openings are covered with horizontal canes called Babadua, tied together to make a screen. The project provides a rainwater harvesting system in which the water is filtered and then stored within the water tank which can provide sanitary water. Rubber stripes were fixed directly under the covering sheets, using half garden hose, to reduce rainwater noise. The aim was to find out cheap solutions to be reproduced by anyone from different social status, in order to improve living conditions through simple changes.

OPOKU’S HOUSE Site: Abetenim, Ghana Project Start Date: 01/07/16 Project End Date: On going Project lead: LOAD (Designing Team) Project client: Yaw Opoku
Opoku is a farmer with a wife and three children and he is the first villager willing to build his own rammed earth house. When we arrived at the village the foundations were completed, but unfortunately he ran out of money when he was about to buy the wood needed for the formworks. Since, during another project, we designed metal formworks as a tool for the community, we thought it could have been a great chance to test it in a low-budget situation and verify its actual usefullness. We thus offered Opoku to continue together the construction, since using metal formworks his budget was enough to go on. The project has three rooms, connected by an outside veranda, each room has only a window to prevent from overheating due to solar radiation. The thick walls keep the interior spaces cool thanks to their high thermal mass. Any decision was taken according to Opoku’s budget only and developing userspecific solutions. The walls construction lasted 4 weeks. The construction site is still in progress thanks to international volunteers coming to the village.
KEOPE STAND COMPETITION, WINNER PROJECT
Site: Cersaie - Bologna Year: 2015 Collaboration: “Molteni Studio”
The purpose of the competition was to design a stand for an important ceramics company. Aim of the project was the creation of several scenes where the visitor could experiment different atmospheres, get involved and discover all the typologies of the company materials. This stand is been presented at the Bologna exhibition “Cersaie” in the end of september 2015.

PRIVATE HOUSE PROJECT IDEA
Site: Granarolo Year: 2015 Collaboration: “Molteni Studio�
The project is a private house for a family in Granarolo. The idea is to create two different volumes. The first hosts the sleeping area and the services (bathroom and garage) while the second one hosts daily activities (living room and kitchen). There will be a big terrace connected to the principal room of the house that allows the view of the fields on the back. The structure is made by wooden x-lam panels

GRADUATION PROJECT
Site: Paskuqan, Albany Academic year 2013/2014 Teacher: Romeo Farinella Elena Dorato Elisa Spada
1 Reconnecting Paskuqan and Tirana
2 Retraining the river’s banks
4 Connecting the park and the urbanized area
THE FOCUS: The park
The Paskuqan’s district is located on the suburbs of Tirana and is born after the fall of communism, when there was an uncontrolled growth. The project aims to create a stratecic line for an urban and lascaping regeneration. The main purpose is the connection with Tirana by the natural element of the river and the increase of the public and pedestrian lines. The second aim is the connection between the river and the lake with the creation of green corridors, creating public activities in the spaces of result. The final purpose is to create a park in the area of the lake using only the borders of this green element. The idea is to leave the inside of the park with his rural character.

SHOPPING IN A PARK ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN IV
Site: Ferrara Academic year: 2013/2014 Teacher: Gabriele Lelli Alberto Alessi Gianmarco Bazzani
Strategical position
Exchange is the key word of the project on creating a commercial area in Ferrara. The site is in a strategical position, betweeen the walls and the fields. For this reason, the project composition creates an opening to the centre of the city. Small specialized shoppings characterize this path until the centre of the project, where the big DESPAR supermarket and the restaurant overlook. Under the continous coverage there are small and simple glass buildings that create spaces and the possibility of a costant movement. The choice of glass allows a continuity between inside and outside and creates a natural atmosphere, surrounded by greenery.

SUSTAINABILITY ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN Site: Andalo, Trentino Academic year: 2011/2012 Teacher: Paola Boarin Sante Mazzacane
The purpose of the project is the design of an efficient building, starting from a volume of 13x13x13. The energy efficiency is guaranteed by the compact form, the creation of a greenhouse in the southern side to collect energy and the closing of the north front. This prototipe is reproduced to create a complex of buildings organized on the respect of environmental issues like the wind direction and the solar exposition.

court’s creation
The project aims to regenerate the area “Le Piagge” on the outskirts of Florence. The idea is to develop the main buildings only on the side of the area, to create a front street and to preserve the internal green space. The presence of different functions (commercial, residencial and sports) wants to create a place lived by different kinds of people. Small buildings characterize the ground floor, hosting commercial function and common area of the residences, and they are merged by a same thick coverage. This element helps to divide the public dimension of the ground floor from the private dimension of the residences over it. The idea of creating small buildings aims to produce different spaces between them, characterized by an human scale and a cozy atmosphere.

DARSENA REGENERATION URBAN DESIGN Site: Ferrara Academic year: 2011/2012 Teacher: Daniele Pini Gastone Ave Laura Orsini
The area is located on the South of Ferrara, between the historical centre and the river bank. The purpose of the project is to create a connection between the medieval walls and the natural element of the water. The idea is to renovate this area introducing multi-functional buildings: commercial, residential and cultural. Great importance is reserved to the improvement of the turistic aspect. For this reason the project provides the creation of a museum and hotels in a strategical position. The green element serves as a connector and helps to form recreational areas and to link the water element.
Focus: offices and commercial area
THE PARK’S DOOR
Summer
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION I Site: Trentino Academic year: 2010/2011 Teacher: Pietromaria Davoli Luca Cappellari Valentina Cosmi
The aim of the project is the design of a park’s recreational centre, located in the alpine zone. The idea is to create a compact volume in order to not waste energy. The structure is made completely by wood, a local production material that permites a low enviromental impact. The North side has minimal openings to protect it from the cold currents. On the contrary, the South side offers large windows to allow a great view to the landscape and a natural light. The activities, expecially for families and children, are linked to the near park. There are an exhibition room, a place for meeting, a library and a bar.
