PHENOMENOLOGY
OF
ARCHITECTURE
Investigation of the design processes of Steven holl and Peter Zumthor
Bachelor Thesis Degree sep 2017 Phenomenology of architecture: investigation of the design processes of Steven Holl and Peter Zumthor _Relator
Enrico Scaramellini
Starting from the concept that architecture does not have its own precise theory but there are different types of conceptions, the thesis aims to analyze architecture as perceived space. The focus is therefore on people as users of architectural space. In particular, while living in a space, man is emotionally affected, he has a certain perception of it that makes him live it in a certain way and consequently leads him to appreciate it or not. The designer’s attention therefore shifts from the single element to the space he wants to create, focusing on the light, colours and materials that create clear possibilities of perception. One of the architects who has most developed these ideas of experiential architecture is Steven Holl. After describing his idea of design, design concept and design method based on acquerns through his writings, the thesis analyzes three works of the architect mentioned above to examine in practice the design choices aimed at creating a multisensory architecture. Subsequently, the thesis focuses on Peter Zumthor, another architect famous for his approach to architecture as perceived space. After describing his design idea together with his model-based method, the thesis examines three of his works to investigate in practice the design choices to create an architecture that creates an emotional atmosphere.

THE SIGHTWALK
a walk that evokes memories
Architecture of Interior Design Studio sep 2016 - feb 2017 Project of redevelopment of a part of the Eni Village Summer Camp of the architect Gellner in Borca di Cadore, Belluno,Italy _Location _Drawing scale _Model scale _Tutors
Borca di Cadore, Italy 1: 500, 1:100, 1:20 1:100, 1:20 Enrico Scaramellini, Anna Ferrugiari
The paths, connections and the soul of the village reside in the fact of it being a village. The value that the building brings to the summer camp is that it is part of a chain, that it is perfectly connected to the other buildings. The ramp is the most important element inside the village that makes the Eni village what it is. Therefore the project aims to maintain an architecture that can be crossed (identity of the village) entering into symbiosis and in direct contact with the ramp system, creating a single subsystem in one single pavilion. The identity of the building is preserved by the ramp, the critical re-reading of the structure allows to enhance it and at the same time to preserve the characteristics that are basic for this architecture. Consequently two different systems are generated. The first one is characterized by different polycarbonate “boxes”: more intimate spaces dedicated to students (study areas or after-school clubs) and to the people living in Borca di Cadore (diffused library, cinema and caffetteria). The second system is related to the connection of these different spaces (“boxes”). The main element is a metal walkway that passes through the building and seems coiled to the existing structure.

NATURE & ARTIFICE
the landscape returns as the protagonist
Final Architectural Design Studio mar 2017 - jul 2017 Project for the redevelopment of the enhancement of the landscape in the Stelvio Park in the area near the Stelvio road of the engineer Donegani _Location _Drawing scale _Model scale _Tutors
Passo dello Stelvio, Italy 1: 2000, 1:1000,1:500, 1:100, 1:50, 1:20 1:2000, 1:1000, 1:50 Michele Ugolini,Caterina Gallizioli, Francesco Occhiuto
The aim of the project is to draw attention to the park (the nature of these mountains) making it become a point of interest for tourism. The chosen is in the old hairpin turns of Donegani near the II roadman’s house. The underlying theme of the project is water. The intervention on the hairpin turns of Donegani originates as a deviation of the existing road. Thanks to this deviation people can better appreciate the historical value of the site (represented by the walls of the curves),touching the stones that composed it, and discovering the power of nature with a belvedere towards the waterfall in front. The walkway is characterized by a corten “door way” that becomes expanded metal when it starts to be suspended on beams anchored to the retaining wall. The different materials create a feeling of suspension to the people passing by, and their attention is therefore captured by the incredible sight of the waterfall.

FALSE PERCEPTION
an exhibition house in Amsterdam
Architecture of Interior Design Studio feb 2018- jun 2018 Project of a small museum in a void part in a central neighbourhood in Amsterdam. _Location _Drawing scale _Model scale _Tutors
Amsterdam, The Netherlands 1: 500, 1:100,1:50, 1:20, 1:5 1:500, 1:50, 1:20, 1:10 Mikel Van Gelderen,Luca Sarto
The exhibition house “False Perception” takes its name from the theme that unites the pictorial, sculptural and design works on display. False perception immediately guided the design of the building. The radical idea behind it is to give the illusion of a building that is very small compared to the urban context in which it is located, which only once it has entered does it discover an underground world: the world of false perception. The building was designed with an illusory shape in such a way that it looks like a simple form even if it is not. It is in direct relation with the fooring of the urban square that is formed: it has an illusory design too that gives the sensation of falling into a hole: the patio. Every room of the exhibition house has been designed in such a way as to have illusions: the atrium with its impossible staircases taken from Escher’s paintings, the room of the same artist designed with an accelerated perspective, that of Patrick Hughes conceived as an endless space, the works of Markus Raetz exhibited on “ flying” cubes of mirrors. The natural light enters the museum through a central open- air patio and skylights that, thanks to the play of light and shade with particular ceilings, gives a fascinating and surreal atmosphere to the design.

MILITARY MUSEUM
1st prize - International competition
YAC (Young Architects Competition) sep 2018 YAC competition in collaboration with the Italian Government in order to transform the Military Fortress of Capo d’Orso into a museum of the military, marine and navigation history. Capo d’Orso, Sardinia, Italy _Location _Drawing scale 1: 500, 1:100 _Collaborators Matteo Leverone, Silvio Lussana, ZDA Zupelli Design Architettura
The project of the “Military Museum” is outlined as a story, made of narrative sequences that summarize and synthesize the different aspects of the museum experience through a succession of spaces and design operations that work to define an almost “sacred” environment in which the collected and meditatvie atmosphere of the memorial blends with the most didactic and educationals side of the museum. The project was born from the encounter/ clash between the rigidity of the geometries of the project and the rurality of the existing structures, defining a narrative path that brings us, right from the entrance, into a sensory experience able to evoke emotions and sensations of a distant time. The idea of the route as a cognitive element of the site is materialized in the choice of the brass sheet as a material characterizing and recognizable, in stark contrast to the wild nature and rural aspect of the place. A continuous, perfect and regular wire that outlines, in different ways, the entire site: in the restaurant, the sheet metal defines a separated volume by the existing shell, hidden from the outside, from which detaches a walkway completely suspeded in the void that works on several level; in the area of the museum and the memorial, the continuity is secured through two raised walkways, culminating in panoramic cantilevers, which run inside the environment skirting the ancient cells of the bastion, whose characteristic shape has been emphasized in some places by the brass sheet metal cladding. The route inside the site ends with the terraces above it. The seven walls, thanks to their characteristic configuration, become methaphor for the waiting condition of the snetries who waited for the enemy hiding behind a shelter, looking at the sea from small cracks. In this way the path of surprise and learning began at the entrance is completed.

BE FLEXIBLE, IT’S EASY
let change be your ordinary
Design and Construction Studio mar 2018 - jun 2018 Project of redevelopment of an abandoned site adjacent to Politecnico di Milano campus Bovisa. The area will host a new sport centre for the University. _Location _Drawing scale _Model scale _Tutors

The complex of building has been designed to guarantee the maximum demountability, reversibility and lightness. The building used as reception and offices and the temporary residences are prefabricated structures made of light steel framing panels. The residential building, designed with external stairs and walkway, is composed by housing modulus that can be assembled on site and easily disassembled. The block used for sports fields is a concrete ramp that starts from the street, contains the gyms below and leads to the sports hall, which continues with the pool pavilion, defining a rising of the square and a new public space. This structure is made of reinforced concrete columns and beams and prefabricated lightened concrete slabs. This permanent ramp sustains in correspondence to the concrete load-bearing structure a part of the steel pillars that sustain the lightweight roofing. This double system of ceiling is sustained by oblique crossed pillars hinged to the soil with lateral tie-rod. With a hinge they are connected with the Tensairity pressurized air beams that sustained the tensile roofing, completely removable. Sideway a system of tie-rod helps to support the tensile vertical closure.
