PROFILE Nature, football and outdoor sports lover. Curious and impatient to discover, I spent last years of University studies around Europe by collecting workshops and practical experiences both. Back in Italy in 2010 I team up with a local Young Architects Association in Terni, participating in the realization of two editions of FestARCH Umbria, a relevant Architectural chermesse in Italy. Since 2011, I’ve been also working with the DDA architects firm in Terni . Along with some colleagues, I was one of the founder of a “Econologico” start-up, for the design, study and distribution of passive buildings made out of wood structure and strawbales envelop. Today I’m just seeking for new experiences that could improve my knowldege over architecture and improve my skills with new opportunities.
E D U C AT I O N Graduated in June 2011 La Sapienza University of Rome, Faculty of Architecture +110/110 Thesis: Refurbishment of an ancient military building in Timisoara (Romania) Erasmus at San Pablo Ceu University of Madrid in 2007/2008.

C O M P E T I T I O N S During my work experience mainly with DDA and also with other colleagues I had the opportunity to take part on working team experiences made mainly of human exchange and of course of different working approchaes. We got three memorables first prizes on different projects and no one of them got realized. That’s why i’m looking other reality, that works better, where to feel the importance of what we think and about what we spend a lot of time for.

#SCUOLE INNOVATIVE
Oberdan secondary school - Terni - Italy 2016 From an idea of the Italian Government, in 2016 #scuoleinnovative borned as a national call for both renovate and in some case extense 52 schools across the country. For the project we have chose to collaborate with “Semillas”, a Peru based firm, that focus his work on building schools in poor areas of the amazzonian territory. Due to our proximity with the site we together decide for the proposal on the extension of the “Oberdan secondary school” in Terni. The concept was focused on the relation between the school and the neighbourood. The public space as took part of the project with a decisive role. It has to get inside the building without becoming just property of the school, it has to beeing permeable from inside to outdside and vice versa . Other point it’s to manage all those activities that the school can hosts especially in the afternoon’s hours. Forms follow functions without becoming a limit for those activities whom can be allowed in the same place but in different time of the day.

CONCEPT - HALL Italy is the country where fewer children get to school by them selfs: we are at 7%, Germany and England at 40%. Roads are seen as an unsafety space invaded by cars, thus contributing to increase the feeling of danger. Yet, 70% of urban travel is contained in about 3 km on urban roads that represent 80% of public space. #sharethestreet

STRUCTURE The structure of the extended part will consist of prefabricated laminated wood producted as modules and composed of 4 components: vertical and horizontal elements, wall and ceiling completion. This type of “frame� constructions, together with the type of natural padding made with dry straw bales, makes assembly quick and facilitates the construction, besides reducing labor and safety costs, making the structure elastic and therefore effective during seismic events. In the existing building there will be structural consolidation and adjustment works aimed at a general improvement by means of seismic devices such as hoops and chains at the level of the floors.

FONDAZIONE CARIT
Palazzo Montani Leoni - Terni - Italy 2014 The considerations that led to the main design choices have been constrained by the desire to play with the role and the communication of an important private institution in respect of its territory. Everything starting from the analysis of the characteristics of the historic building located in the busiest street of the city, which is the main meeting and citizenship exchanges place. We are experiencing a revolution, the world of information technology is forever changing the relationship between citizens and the physical environment of the city. These will increasingly have to know how to communicate, welcome and return the flow of data and information concerning their business. Increasingly active and protagonists, users will participate in the virtual square of the city and the institutions that represent it.

The HALL Inspired by the connexions existing in the ground floor between the permanent exposition and the polyfuncitonal space. The interior design of the entrance hall was basicly designed by using as principal element a new metal perforated skin. All the door’s splay are covered by a gold metal sheet.

THE EXIBIT The most important goal of the competition was to re-think the biggest room of the entire building to make it become something not only related with the art’s exibitions. Our concept is to use all the windows as a big LED panel. We have propose to create tall and narrow panels coverd by gold metal sheets in one side and with Led panel in the other one. The user, depending on use, can decide wich configuration to use.

startup - Italy 2017 Econologico is becoming a start-up and it’s adventure began in 2015 for the design, the production and the construction of low ecological footprint buildings. Mainly Econologico is a prefabricated building system with high energy and seismic efficiency, composed of certified wooden modules, assembled to form the supporting structure who’s fully filled with straw bales and finished with a blend of earth-lime plaster, according to thermal issues. The market of this construction type it’s living an increasing of request. In response of that it’s also increased the quality level of production and prototypation.

IN-SITU
Località - Città - Italy 2017 ECN_ring is a fully modular building system based on the ECONOLOGICO structural engineering. Its 25 ring stock can be shaped to form one or multiple buildings freely scattered to reach different design possibilities. Modular forniture allows many functional setups. Any ring can be assembled to be a roofed and fully closed habitat or to define an outside space. ECN_ring is collapsible and can be moved in partially unassembled elements. Its small disassembled volume allows to be shipped using small vehicles and can be delivered in small or crowded places without much effort. All the joints in the structure are engineered to be as simple as possible to be able to build each ring quikly in a few steps. Assembly doesn’t require specialized builder and can be done by simple workers with just a little training using basic equipement.
