TRANSITIONS

Proposals for sustainable transformation of a former industrial district in Hong Kong Architecture Master Thesis, UniversitĂ di Ferrara Hong Kong, 2014

This project is about a land in transition, both physical and social. It is a physical transition because it involves the transformation of one of the densest and most urban district in town and it is also social because it investigates the chances of intertwining social layers.

100m

After Kai Tak airport close-down in 1997 real estate pressure increased in the surrounding areas. One of them is a former industrial district, Kwun Tong, separated from the runway by an almost closed water basin where polluted runoff water concentrate. Because of industrial relocation to Mainland China, Kwun Tong presents a considerable underused building stock.

Water, culture and industrial heritage are the three elements shaping the project.

Many plots near the water are publicly owned and waiting to be reused. The project proposes a water infrastructure running parallel to the coast that creates a public space, that at the same time diverts polluted drop-off water form the closed basin, fosters biodiversity and offers a changing landscape for public enjoyment. It changes with seasonality of rains because water can flood and create different situations.

The second phase of the project also deals with built environment, highlighting two building complexes that have strong characteristics for cultural reconversion and occupy a strategic position in the district. http://issuu.com/saradd/docs/transitions_tavole

BE WINERY Wine making is an ancient process requiring deep knowledge and mastery. Wine, unlike other agricultural products, has a high symbolic and cultural value. The Bordeaux chateaux were monumental and communicative architectures embracing this noble activity.

Wineries became benchmarks in an armonious landscape made of vine rows. Landscape was kept organized through human industriousness. Architecture is signifier of this values and makes wine excellence coincide with excellent space.

BEING WAREHOUSE In Valpolicella Negrar, excellent wine does not at all correspond to building quality.

While wine making is a signature activity of the region, shaping its landscape and promoting the human industriousness, the warehouse typology has lost distinction from every other place of production. This building has no dialogue with the surrounding landscape and the groove of vine rows is suddenly stopped by a missing beat.

Briefly, this is not a winery.

THREE STEPS Envelop - Acting from outside allows the reconfiguration of the limit between building and landscape. Leftover spaces are gained. Production does not stop.

Develop - The winery regains its role as physical as well as cultural benchmark. Additional functions enrich the winery and open it to context, research and visitors.

Take root - Acquiring the rules that shape vine landscapes and mold the building consequently in order to lighten the impact of the construction.

CONSENSATORE DI ATTIVITà

WORKSHOP INTERNAZIONALE

The main theme that the project deals with is changing perception of the space underneath a flyover from rough and neglected to gained shelter for public activities.

CONSENSATORE DI ATTIVITà

WORKSHOP INTERNAZIONALE

The medium is a tridimensional red coloured stripe, 9 meters wide that unifies the ground, the pillars and the upper beams. It runs diagonal because at both ends of the stripe there are public parks that hardly manage to attract a few people a day.

Inserting this public spine will not only bring back attention to the existing parks, but also increase visitors and make the parks linked by what once divided them : the highway.

WORKSHOP INTERNAZIONALE

Indeed, the district used to be cut in two by the road infrastructure and the project tries to reconnect the two halves by providing outdoor spaces as well as small buildings for local organizations.

The rhythm of pillars creates five “chambers” and the project deals with this clear separation of space by assigning different functions to different chambers. These chambers are further marked by the red stripe. On one side of it there is vegetation and public buildings, on the other, sport fields, a skatepark an artificial hill.

BUILDING CONNECTIONS

Proposal for reusing the Kai Tak airport Urban Studio, KTH Stockholm Hong Kong, 2012 with Aude Grattery tutor : prof. Bojan Boric, Marta Bohlmark program

This project represents my first contact with the metropolis of Hong Kong, that will later become the set of my thesis work. It was influenced by the fascination coming from its specific urban environment, presenting one of the highest density in the world and a very tiny space to build on.

These characteristics have caused the creation of a peculiar urban model where every inch is to be exploited, groundfloor is not easy to access and most life happens in indoor air conditioned shopping malls.

When the close-down of Kai Tak airport made available more than 80 ha in the urban area, that was thus a chance in a century.

After investigating different case studies about connections in the city both pedestrian and vehicular we started focusing on the surrounding areas as for distribution of amenities (education, culture, sport, commerce, public services) to build up the program for out project.

The different networks coming out led our design. Indeed in quite a provoking way we passed from connecting different programs to making programs the connection.

The results of this work were exhibited during the Kai Tak River Green Art Festival in summer 2012 organized by prof Wallace Chang, who would later become my thesis supervisor.

Project for a business complex in landscape Design Studio, UniversitĂ di Ferrara Rovigo (IT), 2011 with Anna Branzanti, Arianna Palaferri

The project of an office building in the outskirts of Rovigo, in the Venetian plain gives the chance to reflect about the relation between buildings and surrounding landscape.

The lot is included between the railway ballast and a small canal, it has an elongated shape that stretches among the agricultural fields all around.

The project develops with the idea of mixing up buildings and landscape, shaping the building organically and clearly controlling natural elements within precise shapes. The observer is thus puzzled when looking at the plan, where buildings are hardly recognisable.

The built objects organically spread on the ground and are composed by four lower units and one office tower twelve storey high.

All buildings are glass walled and have a second skin made of synthetic fabric that helps protecting from solar radiation and gives a natural vibration to the facade when hit by the wind.

The volumes of the tower are grouped into four, each one cantilevering and withdrawing, giving shadow the ones underneath. At level two an elevated square connects the tower with the smaller volume of the company restaurant.

SINGLE DWELLING

HOUSING LAMBRATE

Project for a residential district in Lambrate, Milan Design Studio, UniversitĂ di Ferrara Milan (IT), 2010 with Piera De Nicolao, Maddalena Spagnolo tutor . prof. Alfonso Femia

Lambrate is a former industrial district where the Italian industrial boom took place in the 50’s because of the production of the famous Lambretta.

Many of the old industrial buildings are empty today and many lots await transformation to make Lambrate, in the first suburbs of Milan, a new culturally alive residential district.

The project concerns one of these lots, characterised by an existing warehouse around which the residential intervention is going to find place.

The townhouse typology is used to combine the idea of mass housing with that of the urban location. The houses are laid upon a ground level of shops and offices. Two parallel cantilevered walkways give access to housing. There are different type of houses, as for dimension, height and distribution. All of them share the same principle, though. That is a strong rhythm given by the metal staircase. Indeed, a recognisable element stands out in the facade : the staircase, enveloped by a metal grid. To it, the volumes of the house attach and slide forming different combinations.

The conversion of the old cinema in San Giorgio di Pesaro means the creation of the only cultural centre in town which needs to absolve to different functions.

Energetic considerations ask for creating independent spaces that could be activated in different moments and thus contribute to control energy consumption when not in use.

The building is composed by three main parts that are a technical volume carved in the front, where is the town cafe, the main volume of the theatre and last, a terrace open to the valley obtained on top of the air treatment unit room.

Technologically the outer walls of the old cinema are maintained but a new steel structure is added from the inside since the overall existing volume should be kept as it is.

On the roof, four openings work as wind towers, fostering natural ventilation and heat control. The different heights of the two main volumes are joined up by a cladding made of red recycled plastic sticks that also make the connection between the building and the square. Improved energy efficiency, use of low impact materials and greening of the urban surface contribute to the building retrofit.
