AREA OF INTERVENTION
MASTERPLAN
GREEN SPACES AS “TRESHOLDS” The area of intervention is located in Milan,Città Studi. This area is under constant change therefore the aim of this project is to realize a new node for the east part of Città Studi which not valorized enough for the future expansion of the campus. For this purpuse a specific site has been selected, located at the end of Via Celori, a site that will accommodate the new auditorium and many other facilities for the development of university campus culture.

BIM WORKFLOW
WIND & SOLAR RADIATION WIND ANALYSIS
The wind has an almost homogeneous behavior in all directions and on average does not reach high speeds. There is only a small increase of the velocity in the south-east direction. For this reason, in our project the wind can be less considered than the highs temperatures during summer or the cold environment during winter.
SOLAR RADIATION ANALYSIS
The analysis emphasize how the climate of Milan can have significative low and high temperatures during the year. So, differently from areas of north Europe, is not possible to have big openings without sun protection, because during summer it would create problems in order to mantain fresh the spaces. The project will need for sure a deep study of the facade and the systems of protection. average temperature per month

SOLAR RADIATION | ORIENTATION
SOLAR RADIATION | FACADE A first view of the analysis allows us to see how the orientation of the building and the context make the roof and the two facades faced to the south really exposed. Therefore, these faces will be the elements that will need more careful protection from the solar radiation.
With Rhino and Grasshopper it has been possible to realize different panels with openings depending on the sun radiation. An average dimension of the nurbs has been chosen and repeated over all the panels. Followed, an extrusion of the new surface with the holes has been realized. As a result there will be four different facades with different dimensions of the holes of the panels.
The elements more affected by the sun radiation are the south elevations and the roof. To have more information about that elements, it has been useful to do also a study of the Sunlight Hours Analysis but most importantly trying to define a pattern that describes the effect of the sun and shows how much a surface has to be protected. With the realization of some nurbs on the surfaces, it has been possible to see how the facade under the level of the ground doesn’t need a real protection, because the ground itself is creating a barrier for most of the hours of the day. Differently, on the gound level, there will be the necessity of a protection, mostly in the south area.
SOLAR RADIATION | ROOF
The roof has been developed in another way, according to the different necessities. Taking in consideration the problems related to a roof completely glazed (maintenance, solar radiation), a decision has been made in order to make a consistent part of the roof opaque, placing a central skylight to provide daylight and natural ventilation. The opaque area is supported by a main column and a system of cantilevers, while the glazed one is supported by the lateral structure made of glass along the boundaries of the cube. The roof has also the role to support the upper part of the protective panels.

DAYLIGHT VISUALIZER
STRUCTURE One of the biggest challenges of the project was to provide the natural lighting for the levels below the ground, since the main functional areas are located on the underground levels. In order to achieve this goal daylight analyses are conducted several times with different solutions. Three types of methodologies have been adopted : 1- Ground cuts 2- Skylights 3- Voids
The element analyzed in detail is the central cube that goes from the -2 floor till the ground floor. While the -2 and -1 floor are a simple system of IPE 600 and rounded columns, the ground floor is more complex because of the particular type of roof and the 12 meters clear height. Thus at the ground floor there are four main columns supporting the opaque part of the roof and columns at the sides of the cube made of glass, that support the glazed facade and the glazed part of the roof on the boundaries. Cantilever beams (30x30) Beam IPE 600 Glass beams
Glass columns A cut around the main cube on the ground permits the light pass through underground levels.
The void at the center of the cube allows the penetration of natural light as well as it gives the sensation of a bigger space. This element is aligned with the glazed part of the roof.
The skylights let the light go deeper towards the levels below ground at the proximity of the main void to provide wider range of natural light penetration.

Following the first analyses it was seen that these initial three methodologies had to be modified to increase the daylight efficiency at the underground levels. Therefore a new system of skylights and void are applied. With these adjustments the results of the daylight analysis are improved however they couldnt reach the optimum levels.
The number of the skylights has been increased.
Steel round columns
MIDAS model The simulation with Synchro emphasizes the interesting aspect of building underground. It starts by the demolition of the existing building. The construction has a bottom-up approach, starting from the foundations of the main spaces. The cube has one more floor underground, so will be the last element that will be completed.
Additional skylights followed a tubular system which could distribute light more The void around the main cube has been transformed into efficiently in smaller a wider void by creating an additional level in the void. This diameters. approach has allowed more natural light for the -2 level but also created a more suitable space for the users by cancelling the deep narrow void effect.

EXPO 2020 | ITALIAN PAVILION
SITE & MASTERPLAN
THE FOLLOWING PROJECT IS A PROPOSAL OF THE ITALIAN PAVILION THAT WILL BE PLACED IN EXPO DUBAI 2020. THE CONCEPT IS TO REFLECT ITALY IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE BY SHOWCASING ALL THE SECTORS THAT REPRESENT ITS VALUE. FROM FASHION TO INDUSTRIAL DESIGN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY STUDIO|A.Y. 2018/2019 MILANO | Bachelor’s of Architecture This project is a result of a group work. (group of 4) futuristic paintings of Giacomo Balla
The form of the pavilion is inspired by spiral shapes that frequently found on futuristic paintings. Symbolically the spiral represents evolution, growth and progress. Therefore it is found to be suitable for representing Italy as a country that embraces and absorbs what comes in the future.

SHENZHEN OPERA HOUSE
MASTERPLAN As one of the fastest growing economic cities of the world, Shenzhen is designated to be one of the cultural centers. With this aim the city of Shenzhen has launched the construction of ten new major cultural facilities and the opera house is placed as the most important one among them. The site is located in the Bay area by the waterfront, in a point that can be seen as a gateway towards Shenzhen, that can also be observed from the Shenzhen Bay Bridge and the neigbouring mountains. One of the biggest problems existing in this particular city is the fact of the exclusion of a part of the society that causes the great difference between urban developments of rich and poor areas of the city including the useful green areas open to public use for all the citizens. Taking into consideration all these factors the masterplan of the proposal is carefuly designed to address the issues and offer an urban complex surrounding the facilities for the opera house.
SHENZHEN IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GROWING CITIES IN THE WORLD. THIS FAST GROWTH IN POPULATION AND FAST URBANIZATION CAUSES THE LACK OF IDENTITY AND SOCIAL EXCLUSION AMONG ITS CITIZENS. NEW OPERA HOUSE PROPOSAL AIMS TO CREATE A SPACE THAT WILL PROVIDE AN IDENTITY FOR THE CITY AND A HIGH QUALITY URBAN AREA THAT WILL CREATE CONNECTIONS AMONG CITIZENS OF SHENZHEN.

GROUND FLOOR PLAN
CONCEPT The opera is located by the seaside which gives an advantage on using the proximities of the site to create natural connections. With this proposal the aim is to create a hypothetical green connection while maximising the view points towards the sea and within the built areas of the complex. The area is designed to be the new urban hub for the people of Shenzhen. Much more than just an opera house, it offers an urban complex which will bring its users an experience that creates connections: between themselves and between people and the nature. Looking at the symbols which have a significant meaning in traditional Chinese, the building complex forms are inspired from a giant bird of Chinese mythology, the Peng. To give a dynamic environment, the building forms are made intentionally in a segmented and angular way that together complete a whole. The orientation of the buildings are decided by taking into consideration the sun path, the view towards the sea and the view towards the big green areas in the proximity of the site as the mountain and the Bay Park. Considering the most important issue of Shenzhen being the exclusion of some societies and the big difference between rich and poor environments, the new opera house complex aims to connect the people from every background and offers an urban area wide open for public use.

EXPERIENCE
The urban corridor that divides and connects the theatre building and the arts and exhibition center is an important part of the project emphasizing the relationship between exterior and interior spaces. While at the ground level it accommodates the entrances and the commercial areas on the first floor level it connects the two buildings by providing a communal living space for the users. The facades facing to the open plaza are a combination of different materials from wood to pv panels integrated into the design.
