Sisport Settimo Torinese Completed | Redevelopment of the Sisport sport complex 2017-2018 | Settimo Torinese, Turin | Cliostraat architectural firm Skill set: Autocad, Illustrator, Photoshop, Sketchup, V-ray

The work concerns the executive project for the redevelopment and rationalisation of the locker rooms, the gym and the multi-purpose halls of the service building of the Sisport Sports Center in Settimo Torinese. The project also includes the restyling of the coordinated image, graphics and colour study. Assignment During the design phase, I participated in the realisation of preliminary and executive drawings, taking care of the project on different levels. I followed firsthand the conception and realisation of the coordinated graphics that mark the distribution system of the interior spaces of the sports complex.

University Campus Einaudi Urban Design Atelier 2017 University Campus Einaudi, Turin | Polytechnic University of Turin Skill set: Autocad, Rhinoceros, Illustrator, Photoshop, Sketchup, V-Ray

The project concerns the open spaces of the University Campus Einaudi designed by Norman Foster in Turin. The project area Crossing the different readings it was clear from the early stages of the work how space turned out to be composed of 3 macro-areas, each of which is characterised by its individuality. The three spaces are: - The Mai Street - The Dora Siera Street - The area, half public and half inside the Campus, which is tangent to Corso Regina Margherita. Personal development The project allowed me to extend my knowledge of lighting and acoustics design. Thanks to this work I had the opportunity of searching, studying and applying different technologies, to ensure the acoustic and suitability of illumination for the users of the spaces designed.

Design methodology I chose to approach the topic in two phases. The first, formed by the preliminary phase of the investigation, consists of the acquisition of data useful for the knowledge of the context, regarding its morphological, constitutive and functional dimension. The data obtained from these surveys was directly related to the design choices. In the second phase, more strictly related to design type, many reflections

emerged that led to the presentation of a first solution at the general masterplan scale, and then to the detailed one on specific areas of interest. The design process starts with the observation of the actual state; a rich photographic survey was the first step in the cognitive path of the project area. This work made it possible to identify the primary nodes of the proposed space, highlighting some shortcomings as well as the positive elements present.

The Mental Health Centre of the Future Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Degree Thesis 2017 | Turin, Trieste, Lecco Polytechnic University of Turin | www.issuu.com/silviameterc Skill set: Autocad, Revit, Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Sketchup, V-Ray

My master’s degree thesis is about the relationship that people with mental health problems have with architectural space, and it proposes the Mental Health Centre of the future. Thanks to my research I have come to know Lecco’s situation. There, I was invited to propose the new Mental Health Centre of the city that will be built in the coming years. Work structure The dissertation is made up of three sections: The first part is devoted to the story of the events that characterised the history of the psychiatric discipline. This research has served to build the fundamental knowledge to be interwoven with the studies of the second part. “Towards a Multi-Sensory Approach” is the title that sums up the theories and methodological approaches that we can use in the process of humanising health sites. The critical analysis of the data selected in those two parts of the work allowed us to come up with the third part titled “Experimenting a Multidisciplinary Project”,a project for a Mental Health Centre of the future. Personal growth This work allowed me to arrive a fuller awareness of the effects that architectural space has on those who frequent it. Proposing a real case allowed me to study and understand the regulatory requirements at a technical-architectural level.

Cultural Context The confines that represented the psychiatric institution, it was an attempt to convey the various social problems within the same area, and to treat them in the same way according to the logic of power that Michel Foucault highlighted in his works. The experience I have encountered personally going to see the conditions of multiple realities on the national territory, shows me that today there are still practices of exclusion and containment, violence and denial of the person.

Design Goal By studying the current system, I have identified in the Mental Health Centre the milestone of the entire assistance network. A reasoned design shall consider the people’s needs who live in the Centre, and it can lead us to a sustainable outcome. Today designing by denying the “clear separation” between madness and normality is possible, with a joint action that involves all disciplines and experiences. The best practice to produce a health design is by thinking of the sick as subjects in society, and by considering their needs as rights.

Social Housing Porta Nuova Design Atelier 2016 | Porta Nuova rail station, Turin Polytechnic University of Turin Skill set: Autocad, Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, Dialux, Velux, Termom, Echo6

The project area is identified with space currently occupied by the Porta Nuova railway station in Turin. The city administration plans to dismiss 50% of the existing tracks and to maintain the remaining ones. We need to rethink the structure of this area, now central in the city fabric and of great historical importance, in morphological and functional terms. The site under consideration, with its large size and its elongated shape, determines a big split, dividing part of the city into two areas now connected in only two points. Personal development Working on this project allowed me to increase my knowledge concerning sustainable architecture. I took care when drafting the Itaca protocol, to verify the level of energy and environmental sustainability of the building. I followed firsthand the acoustic and thermal checks.

Design Methodology After observing the context, we highlighted the existing road network and defined a grid that guided us in our work. By exploiting this base, we have been able to investigate many aspects, carrying forward ideas both on an urban scale, in the definition of the park, and at the urban planning level.

According to the project, Turin finally enters the area of Porta Nuova through the aforementioned project. The shape of the buildings overlooking Via Sacchi guide the citizens towards the new public space.

Functional mixitĂŠ The building was designed to contain different functions, on the ground floor there are a series of shops that overlooks a broad pedestrian avenue, that forms the road axis of Via Sacchi, going upstairs the glazed facade also externally marks the areas that host offices. From the main front, on Via Sacchi, we can immediately notice the separation line between the functions described above and the residential part of the project. Passing from these activities to the apartments the facade cladding changes. From the glass, we move to the design of a facade made up of GRC panels, assembled with a regular rhythm, creating a facade free from structural constraints.

WTT was the first fair in Italy dedicated exclusively to virtual reality, home automation and wearable technologies. Two days of hackathons, talk and workshop, startup and private firm exhibition, for a total of 7000 visitors. Assignment In organising the event, I took care of the design of the spaces in Hall 1 of Lingotto fair. I followed the design and construction phases of the individual stands. I was part of the team that created the coordinated image of the fair, where the sinuous elements that characterise the graphics, online and offline, emphasise the innovative concept behind the Wearable Tech Torino.
