International ideas competition for Services Architectures for Milan Expo2015, 3th prize Milan, Italy
Interpreting the theme of Expo 2015 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life for Service Architectures' is natural and spontaneous idea was to recreate the greenhouse. The manufacturing technology of the greenhouse reminds us of the Crystal Palace, designed and built for the Universal Exhibition of 1851 in London. Similarly, the formal and technological architectures of Service Expo 2015 to "celebrate" the new technologies, but in terms of sustainability in social, aesthetic, technical, environmental and energy. Nevertheless the elongated shape of the building of the slats with the pitched roof, typical of greenhouses, we also relocating locally in both the industrial tradition of Milan, with its warehouses, is the agriculture of the farmhouses.

The type of skin looks translucent, allowing from an internalization of the surrounding landscape and the other pavilions, and at the same time, a complete reflection from the outside. At night, the charm is accentuated, because the service architectures become lanterns,with projections and applications of great visual impact, to inform and attract visitors.
The goal of our project is create a model that is flexible, lightweight, clear, and self-sustainable. Flexible modular design for the spatial and functional organization. The absence of support pilars makes the structure adaptable to the various needs for the different types. The material is lightweight formal construction, defined by the coating and the structural system. Clear as capable of show construction principles, and therefore easy to convey to visitors. Self because the shape and the material gives a value of identity, the image associated with the Expo, without interfering with other structural elements of the Site and connective Eco-friendly because we think of each building, not as an object, but as a body with flow and content of energy and materials.

The market The market organizes itself around two squares, a main for fruit and vegetable sales, and another for fish and meat sales, around which all the stalls are organized. Two axis define circulations and entrances, connecting all the spaces: the Apuana and the Versilia Galleries.
The housing Within the functional program was added to block housing for social purposes for a total of 400 square meters. This is residences, located on the first floor, each with a patio and with independent access from the common ground for families with elderly dependents, who currently are facing housing difficulties. By providing home care services may be conceived in this way, to create a viable alternative to residential structures are allowed only for elderly, often involving social isolation, and resolving, in part, the shortage of affordable accommodation. The redefinition of these spaces, characterized by a greater aesthetic quality and livability, increase the attractiveness of the place and will be an incentive to use, the daily traffic and the promotion of the same market.

International ideas competition for the restoration and reuse of the Rocca historic building and the adjoining park, 1st prize Nogarole Rocca (VR), Italy
The design intent is to restore the Fortess’s monumental and representative character, a stage for crossed activities, events, connections, services, meetings, allowing a continuous flow, day and night, and inter-connected to different users (tourists, young and senior citizens...). The project has three main goals: the rehabilitation of the inner courtyard, transformed into a piazza, the poly-functionalization of the existing buildings and the requalification of Rocca’s Park. Piazza Scaligera "The squares (..) are the formal space of the community, the place where history, cultural movements, artistic styles, material culture, collective imagination, symbolic projections, established rituals, traditions and behavioral habits intersection occurs." (C. Dardi, Place d'Italie, in "Agora", 1, Rome 1987) The redevelopment of the inner courtyard, conceived as a mend to Nogarole’s social and connective tissue, foresees a stabilized earth and stone paving and the addition of chairs and tables, in order to restore its original aggregative potential. The Piazza Scaligera, whose name derives from one of the most important noble families residing in the fortress, is crossed by a pedestrian-cycle path attaching the town’s old road to the Torre Storta o di Roncaraldo. Rocca (fortress) The program for the Rocca’s reuse derives of the historical interpretation of the functional and formal invariants of the buildings. The West and East wings (manor and workers house) keep their residential character, hosting an accommodation structure, while for the remaining wings of the Rock, historically subject to major functional upheavals, a flexible program has been prepared, designed to improve and increase services to citizens. The inclusion of various public services, such as the information desk and welcoming center, ATM,postbox, bicycle parking and renting, promotes and enhances the Piazza Scaligera’s livability, allowing a collective participation of the recovery and preservation of this great historical and architectural heritage. Parco della Rocca (park) The proposal is based on the interpretation of the site’s historical evolution, highlighting traces and relationships. Water, an essential element for landscape design, structures the project for the Urban Park. On the one hand, we investigate through the obvious signs of existing vegetation to bring to light the main water structure, which marked the fortress from 1600 onwards: the lake. On the other hand, the channel, natural boundary of the intervention, is revitalized through simple enhancement of the corresponding vegetable plants, which constitute the identity of the place. This way the palimpsest of the project is defined.

International competition "A Room for London" London, England
Coined in 1817 by Scottish inventor Sir Eoin Cussen, the word "kaleidoscope" is derived from the Ancient Greek καλ(ός) (beauty, beautiful), είδο(ς) (form, shape) and -σκόπιο (tool for examination)–hence"observer of beautiful forms."
Spending a unique night in a one-bedroom temporary home/hotel perched on the top of the Queen Elizabeth Hall roof should not be an ordinary experience but a rather extraordinary architectural adventure. Our proposal attemps to redefine the relationship between interior and exterior. There is no inside nor outside, instead a so called “enterior” (exterior+interior) space - conceived as a porch from where, warmed by an outdoor (bio) fireplace, you can contemplate London and its magnificence.
Costeras - S.C. dei Pittinuri 1st prize Cuglieri, Sardegna, Italy
The simple observation of the topography let’s us build a contemplation interval and imagine the territory as a scheletrical structure upon which the village was created therefore emphasizing the consequent changes made to it. The walkways along the valley have always served as communication paths: water streams become generators of environmental/archeological paths. By following them it’s possible to arrive to the inumerous archeological and naturalistic sites of the area. The three proposed parks work as a connecting system between the the coastal ecosystems and those of Monti Ferru. These parks will vitalize the surrounding areas thus enabling it’s free use and offering spaces for leisure and other functions. These parks, wet areas of extreme ecological importance, will act as biodiversity densification “lines” of great relevance to the hydrological balance of the territory. The three parks will be connected to each others through a pedestrian walkway that unifies both physically and visually the most relevant sites on the landscape and on the the built environment, like the spanish towers that emerge on each promontory from Santa Caterina to Torre del Pozzo. The landscape in it’s biggest scale becomes a theme for reflection, a tool to solve urban indefinition, environmental and architectonical degradation.

Tower house, Molfetta, Italy
The building, a narrow northeastern-oriented enclosed lot in the old town of Molfetta, is a rare surviving example of medieval popular housing units. This type of housing, named "tower house" was destined to various families, who used to live on separate floors, connected by a common stairwell, with a barn and a water tank in the basement. In fact engineer Giangaspero, author of the recovery plan drafted by the City in 1934, wrote: "In functional terms it were promiscuous, where the steep flights of narrow wooden stairs were not reached by means of landings, but through the rooms inhabited by the other housemates" . Its morphology is characterized by a predominantly vertical cell with a strongly sloping roof, with more than two levels above ground floor and a basement. The main technical and structural characteristics of the block are easily identifiable: dry stone walls, masonry rubble vertical structure, arched masonry slabs on the street and basement floors and wooden slabs on the upper floors, fireplace on the rear of each floor, gabled roof with balcony towards the main road. Project The set of planned interventions is aimed at the protection and enhancement of the building, The project preserves the residential use, maintaining the logic of the old distribution system and the main characteristics of the original building. Instead of housing different families, each floor will be dedicated to a single functional use:the ground floor for living (living room/study), the first floor for eating (kitchen/dining room) and the second floor for sleeping (bedroom). The basement will house a small interior pool and the attic a small reading room.

"A long history of insecurity and, perhaps, lack of water points led to the concentration of population" We propose the creation of a new cluster of buildings, which, through its typological, morphological and chromatic characteristics respects the context in which it operates and the relationship with the environment, maintaining and restoring landscape's interest. This new group, consisting of six volumes, one for each one of the programmatic units, with volumetric differences deriving from the different intended uses and the plot's natural slope, suggests a small region's typical urban settlement. This fragmentation and lack of correspondence between the various volumes also allows better management of relations between the units and the construction of some courtyards, an important characteristic of local architecture.

This type of settlement is closely related to the type of culture and the dispersion of buildings imprints well defined characteristics in Algarve's landscape every dwelling is like the center of agricultural activity of its inhabitants, in addition to their home ".( Arquitectura Popular em Portugal, SNA 1961 )

Our proposal is to construct a set of buildings that dialogues with local architecture, whose main characteristic is "its simplicity, which is manifested in appearance, with a great purity of shapes and surfaces and arrangement of component parts"1. This new group is composed of four bodies, one for each of the functional units (accommodation / reception areas, different types of accommodation), grouped in two volumes, and integrated into a single architectural entity by a common basement, consequence of earth movements necessary for its implementation, it proposes itself as a typical region's settlement 2. The basement allows the configuration of these courts as activities center (leisure, monitoring and knowledge of agricultural production, etc).

Floating Swimming Pool, Lisbon, Portugal
Before its water became so heavily polluted the river was a great place for swimming, since then people were forced to move to nearby beaches. Each summer, thousands of people make this daily commuting everyday. Bringing back the beaches and the ability to swim in the Tagus river would avoid the need for a daytrip to the beach, and contribute to the construction of a renewed relationship between Lisbon and its river. This improvised beaches consist of existing and currently unused barges regularly used for carrying freight or dredging waste, transformed to accomodate a swimming pool, a sun terrace and a bar on it’s deck as well as the necessary supporting services on it’s bilge. They act as extensions to adjacent parks over the water. People go to these beaches in the way they go to regular ones rather than indoor swimming baths. Not necessarily to exercise, but primarily to socialize, play and enjoy the sun. Imagine walking across the city’s promenade on a sunny day afternoon in summer and seeing hundreds of people dressed in swimwear, sunbathing and smiling as if they were on a sandy beach.
