jakarta hotel LOCATION Amsterdam (The Netherlands) YEAR 2017-18 WITH SeARCH office
notes: international awards winner, check on www.search.nl
The building, completed in 2018, is situated in a prominent location on the riverside of Amsterdam. The concept is based on the idea of a building open not only for the visitors of the hotel but to the entire city, due to the public program placed in the ground floor. Those functions and the hotel rooms are all connected by the central hall, an open and wide space with a subtropical garden, publically accesible. The building is covered with a glass facade, combined with solar panel and aluminium perforated panels.
The main structure of the building, in concrete and steel, is integrated with a system of prefab wood modules, which are the rooms of the hotel. Higly importance has been given to the sustainability of the complex, which is completely energy autonomous. I have been involved in the preparation of the technical construction drawings, especially for the hotel rooms and for the ceilings of of the entire building, with a special attention to the integration between installations, structure and finishing.

zaans pijl LOCATION Wormerveer (The Netherlands) YEAR 2018 WITH SeARCH

Located on the shore of river Zaan in the city of Wormerveer, the site is a former animal food factory built in 1930 in an area that is going through a larger redevelopment. The existing factory, a solid building in brickwork, is lightly decorated by some details from the Amsterdam School, therefore needed to be carefully treated. The program is to transform it into 65 apartments. These are located both inside the old building (whose interior structure has been demolished and re-built) and in a new volume, clearly distinghuished from the old one by
the use of a new black metal facade, which is placed on top of the other. The same material is used to highlight parts of the building which were demolished and re-built, especially in the old silo. The block has been completed also with a new little house, which reminds the old typical factories around the building. I have followed the project since the beginning, from the sketch phase, through the process of transforming the concept into a preliminary design and then into the executive project.

KAVEL 42 LOCATION Amsterdam (The Netherlands) YEAR 2017 WITH SeARCH
Topic of the competition was the realization of a building in the area of Ijburg, close to Amsterdam. The plot, placed in a central position of the neighborhood, is facing on three sides the water and presents a peculiar streched shape. The idea of the design presented is to create a polarity for the surrounding area, with a mix of public functions on the first two floors, and two different typologies of housing: a block of apartments facing the harbour and a series of town houses in the back. The access area of the plot has been transformed into a public beach.
The public functions (library, restaurants, cinema, theater and pool) are running all along the building on the first two floors, under the cantilever, both inside and outside, directly related with the water and the harbour. From this space is also possible to reach the garden on the second level.

vlietvoorde LOCATION Leiden (The Netherlands) YEAR 2018 WITH SeARCH
notes: winning project
This project is the winning entry for a new sustainable neighbourhood, designed by SeARCH and the Collectief Vlietvoorde, The project consists of 4 different areas: the wood, the creek, the estate and the lake. A unique aspect of the design is that we have chosen not to pump the water away, but instead partially flood the site, giving a piece of the landscape back to nature. Vlietvoorde offers a variety of housing types in a shared environment. Future inhabitants will not have a private garden but will benefit from a unique and diverse natural
environment. In total there will be 130 sustainable dwellings. Each part of the project is characterized by a specific atmosphere. Houses in the wood are sorrounded by a varied vegetation on a modelled but rough landscape. The estate is more designed and refined. Then the landscape opens up letting in the water, where the house are either floating or partially laying.

In the “wood” houses are immersed in a dense vegetation, slightly lifted from the street (in order to have also the parking underneath) but at the same level with the landscape behind. The single unit of house has been used in different ways, either alone or grouped in series of 2/3 houses.
In the “creek” the houses are partially surrounded by the water and a lighter type of vegetation like the reed. The house typology is much more open and transparent. Also here the unit has been used either alone or combined in 2.

DIG-IT DIG IT! is a research project led by Bjarne Maestenbroek, founder and director of SeARCH office. The project investigates the relation between architecture and landscape. In a complex and structured history that evolves from the first human settlements to the most recent realisations of contemporary architecture, including buildings realised by the office itself, the aim is to look for connections among different period of times, places and cultures. As employer in the office I was asked to work in the preparation of drawings for the upcoming publication .

Messina-strait LOCATION Messina (Italy) YEAR 2016 WORK FOR Master degree thesis
notes: I supervisor: R. Farinella, II supervisor: F. Orsini, assistant supervisor: M. Savino

Messina and Reggio Calabria, facing each other over the strip of sea that divides them, have a common history. They share the same territory, with flat costs that raise to the mountains, digged by the valleys of the streams. They have a similar socio-economic and cultural substrate, strongly influenced by the devastating earthquake of 1908 that destroyed both cities. From that moment, the cities needed to expand, too often in an uncontrolled way, on the seaside and on the hills surrounding them. The project works on 3 levels. For the whole area of the Strait of Messina, a strategy was developed at an urban and landscape level, to define new guidelines for the future of both cities. This vision proposes a future in which the cities do not expand occupying new virgin land beyond
the existing borders, but densifying, transforming and requalifying the existent. In this way the landscape and the hills can be protected from hydro-geological risk, preventing the building construction, and at the same time promoted with a network of naturalistic attractions. For what concerns Messina, the purpose is to intervene on the “urban creeks” (where the creeks have been covered with roads), transforming them into green channels. At the urban level I have worked on the south waterfront, called “Maregrosso”. There, the utopia of industrial development caused important damages in the urban fabric, which has still great potential for the future. The aim of the project is to provide a method to regain this neglected space, proposing a new idea of city with a fabric that can integrate/replace the existing one.

universud/ Verso In September 2015 I took part in the constitution of Universud, an association of architecture students interested in the study of contemporary cities. By then we organized a workshop for students coming from different italian universities. During four days of conferences and seminars, the students discussed about urban limits in cities characterised by the presence of informal settlements. The aim was to understand the characteristics of these contexts and the future opportunities provided by these limits. The students were also asked to work on specific topics. After that experience, the association continues to organize events and exhibitions regarding informality and cities, such as “Informal.mente”, a photography competition and exhibition. Currently “VERSO” (new name of the association) is busy designing an orphanage and community center in Benin.

POP-UP REFUGE LOCATION Mazara del Vallo_Sicily (Italy) YEAR 2016 WORK FOR Competition_Periferica WITH Fabio Fanelli
notes: mentioned project
26
Pop-up refuge is a temporary shelter, designed to be used with the greatest flexibility, easy to move and store and constructible with low budget. The refuge is composed by 4 parts: the central core; the 2 platforms; the accordion coverings; the beds. When the refuge must be stored or moved these 4 parts can be united in only 1 element. When needed the platforms can be attached at the bottom of the core (but also used by themselves), the coverings fixed to the core and opened with the accordion system and the beds used
for the night. The structure has high flexibility and can be used in differnt ways both during the day and the night. The materials are simply and cheap: wood for the inside frame and the cladding: polyester for the accordion covering. The dimensions are very little: 5m x 2m x 2,69m opened 1,1m x 2m x 2,69m closed

12 hours LOCATION Preikestolen (Norway) YEAR 2015 WORK FOR Competition_Rethinking
28
The contest aimed at creating a panoramic space, with simple services, near the “Preikestolen� (pulpit rock), a cliff overhanging a fjord. Despite the usual visit to the site is short and temporary, the purpose of the project is to encourage a fully immersed experience with the fjord and the rock, in order to reach a deeper and intense connection with the landscape. Indeed, the panoramic point has been divided into two elements: a central base for welcoming and services, and ten cabins spread in the surrounding area. The cabins, simple and minimal, can be
used up to 12 hours., for an intimate and individual experience. Both the base and the cabins are made with a light and simple wood structure, that can be moved and can be adapted to the condition of the place, as they are just laying on the ground, preventing any permanent damage. The impermanence of the project allows even the complete removal of the structures.

via del chionso LOCATION Via del Chionso_Reggio Emilia (Italy) YEAR 2015 WORK FOR University WITH Fabio Fanelli

Via del Chionso is situated in the suburban area of Reggio Emilia, between the city and the countryside. The project aims at connecting the two systems. Three approaches were planned: densifying the limit (where there is a missing element in the borders of the urban fabric), infiltrating the green system into the fabric and reinforcing the routes in direction city-countryside. In the routes, the road section was widened and the private citizens were allowed to build new “parasite� buildings in front of the pre-existing ones. The buildings have to be bu-
ilt up to the limit of the public path, therefore removing fencing and the space in front of the building. These routes will be renovated also using a new flooring in coloured cement, that will permeate also in the open but covered private areas. Some parts of the area will be densified with new public buildings for leisure and commercial purposes.

34
The Tassoni Palace is a Renaissance palace in Ferrara, which hosts today the Department of Architecture of Ferrara. A portion of the complex is yet to be renovated and the aim of the lab is to plan the renovation. Some parts of the building were analysed fully, from the analysis of the deterioration to planning the interventions. The general project is aimed at renovating the whole complex. At the end of the project, a new building was planned, which connects vertically and horizontally the parts of the complex.

ex distillery LOCATION Doro/Mizzana_Ferrara (Italy) YEAR 2014 WORK FOR University WITH Paola Caselli, Caterina Dallolio
38
The area of the ex-distillery is west of the centre of Ferrara, outside the walls and beyond the rail station. Here there are abandoned factories, close to the suburban area and in an area with a high potential, thanks to the proximity to urban areas and to the rail station and to the Burana River. The project is aimed at re-functionalizing the old factories, recovering some of the abandoned buildings and creating a new urban public area for the citizens. The place will also host some university activities. In order to consolidate the area and according to the current
planning instruments, two new building complexes were planned for housing. Core of the strategy is the reconnection of the area with the surroundings, favouring soft mobility instead of car mobility.

chroma LOCATION ZIP_Padua (Italy) YEAR 2014 WORK FOR University WITH Paola Caselli, Caterina Dallolio
42
East of Padua, there is an industrial area (ZIP). The aim of the project is to create a space that, unlike the nearby lots, will be semi-public, creating a path that connects two main roads and the new buildings inside the lot. In the north area, there are three office buildings while in the south area there is the company nursery. The element that connects the two, which is in a central and therefore more sheltered position, is the most public partof the project. This area is close to the nearby lots and is connected to the pre-existing service centre of the area. The use of diaphragms, dif-
ferent according to the necessities, enables to create enclosed areas, both for the buildings and for the public space. Unlike the surrounding area, the volumes are placed on the fronts of the lot, leaving a more protected, open and green space in the centre. The parking area is under the buildings and is directly connected to them.

RIVER HOLES LOCATION Darsena_Ferrara (Italy) YEAR 2013 WORK FOR University WITH Paola Caselli, Caterina Dallolio
46
The aim of the project is to create a new public space in Ferrara, in the docks area. The idea at the core of the project is an eroded rock coming out of the river. The block was divided into three separate elements, with a common open space in the centre. The blocks have been carved to ensure visual permeability. The closest block to the street will be the auditorium, with day and night activities, while the other two blocks will be connected to the university. They will become students’ residences and the block on the river will host rowing activities organized by
the CUS (university sports’ centre). In students’ residences, there will be common areas dedicated to free time activities and studying, and three room modules, which can be used in both buildings.
