Theme: refugee camp | Location: Mosul, Iraq | Year: 2018 | With: Edoardo D. Stuggiu, Lorenzo Bertelli (competition phase)
Thesis supervisor: Paolo di Nardo | Thesis correlator: Tessa Matteini
The trauma caused by war, by the destruction of the personal intimacy and of everybody’s personal story were faced looking for a balance between a complex structure, the consequent uniformity of the total and the research of the recognizability and the lost intimacy of the single as a whole family.
Investigating and understanding the painful past, the aim of the project is to guarantee that similar events would not happen again: “to build a shared future from a divided past”.
Mosul’s Forest, offers welcoming and protection to a disjointed society, in a motherly way, which has been robbed of its identity. Vegetation delights the sight and the taste in the aesthetic of the senses, providing fruit and shadow. Its path and its configuration recreate a defined geometric system which offers several opportunities of life and development for the community.
The reconciliation of society cannot be quick; it requires the ability of evolving and adapting to new challenges and opportunities.
The project aims to define a community based on principles such as discussion, disagreement, compromise and collaboration. All of these main pillars should work in a system which allows to opposite thoughts to peacefully coexist in a democratic society.
After the reconciliation, the memory of the past and the free understanding of the spaces and of the future functions will take place.
Development and social sharing trough each unity. The spaces develop thanks to the reconciliation of different communities.
In order to define the living space, the selfconstruction of the main fronts of the accomodations is forecast, allowing people to make them their own respectfully.
The designed spaces take form by assembling the kit.
Identifying the areas of the forest with a low density vegetation, already recognizable in its topography, the functions of the welcoming camp will be placed following a structural grid.
The “tent-roof” becomes the real roof and the camp begins to come to life.
The refugees can build the main façade on their own.
Rescue teams assemble the three façades of the shelter.
LIVING THE CAMP
there are 3 types of shelter in the camp: S (1 person), M (3 people), L (6 people). Each shelter has its own private garden overlooking the self-built front.
THE HOUSE OF THE CULTURE
this building is a new container of the culture for the rebirth of a civilization destroyed by war and by the Islamic State, who burned thousands of books trying to erase the history of this people.
THE PARK OF THE MEMORY the self-built front of each shelter represents a memorial for those who have lived in the camp. The vegetation takes over and the structure allows a free future interpretation of the space.
Theme: urban design international competition in 2 phases, second price | Location: Prague, Czech Republic | Year: 2021
Project leader: Branimir Medic (partner) | With: M2AU, LOLA Landscape Architects
Urban Heritage in Prague is recognised as world heritage for the way in which landscape and architecture have worked together to make each other more visible and consequently more beautiful. Prague’s urban growth has historically involved striking the right balance between four principle elements all of which contribute equally and uniquely to the creation of Prague’s socio-geographic aspect. Prague’s topography, Prague’s waters, Prague’s transportation requirements and finally Prague’s urban heritage, are the real stakeholders or, as this proposal prefers to reference them, the four ecologies.
The Florenc Area urban design competition brief highlights what is the key problem of Prague’s urbanisation, around which there has been a professional discussion for more than a century namely that Florenc is a critical locality, a multi-layered junction and a meeting point. Cities today are not only places for people and must ensure other species of vegetation and animals can live and thrive.
“MY Prague” masterplan revisits the idea of emphasizing the importance of an overwhelming green landscape on which buildings are carefully laid in a legible structure that respects both natural and urban topography thereby preserving and emphasizing the distant and axial views and the key links of Florenc to historic Prague, urban Karlín, old Žižkov and Vitkov Hill.

Theme: Housing complex including 280 units and 2200 m² office | Phase: VO | Location: Hilversum, The Netherlands Year: 2022 | Project leader: Erik Vrieling
The project is located near the center of Hilversum, about 700 m south-east of the central station, and the south border is delimited by the railway line. By defining the main north-south axes at the limits of the project area, the urban complex relates to the neighborhood respecting the calm and peaceful nature of it, mainly composed by single-family houses. For this reason, the mass grows higher towards the southern area adjacent to the railway, where there are currently no houses. Furthermore, by defining the east-west axes, 3 zones are marked out: the neighborhood park, which marks the entrance to the complex; the blocks B and C including the large open courtyard defined by block C; the spoorpark area, where blocks A and D are located, the most expressive of the entire project.
Given the industrial past that characterizes Hilversum and specifically the project area, the buildings present certain characteristics that refer to this tradition, such as the typical shed shape of the roof of blocks A and D. Furthermore, the plinth of each building follows the same concept and has the same materiality, in order to compose a single recognizable urban complex.

Theme: tender for a new lyceum up to 1100 students, first price | Location: Sluisbuurt, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Year: 2021 | Project leader: Marten de Jong (partner)
The high school student is a person in transformation. This transformation is accompanied by insecurities, overcome fears, acquired pride. The school is the spatial condition in which all this takes shape: it must allow the student to express himself in every moment of his growth and provide a place where he feels comfortable.
The well-being of the student is certainly not achieved only thanks to the “fashionable” image of the space, but it is a sensorial condition, determined by factors such as the indoor climate, acoustics, scale, rhythm and the overall vision.
The building thus offers a multitude of spatial conditions in which the student can choose to live the experience of growth and learning on different scales, with the right social interaction necessary in those important years. The building is designed in such a way as to provide very small and intimate rooms, public spaces on a larger scale, and all the stages in between. Furthermore the school, which can accommodate up to 700 students, is designed in a flexible way so that it can be extended in the future to reach a capacity of 1100 students.

Theme: children’s hospital | Location: Pisa, Italy | Year: 2019
Design team: ARX Srl, Heliopolis 21 Architetti Associati
The architectural organization of the new Stella Maris hospital takes inspiration from the synthesis of the “triangle” as a generating element of the whole building system in order to optimize its functions. The main concept is the “tent” as a container for a “family home”. The three arms shape allows to optimize the internal distributions through a central core and to give an elongated and non-impacting shape to the hospital system. A “non-static”, yet dynamic architecture for the shape and exterior elements such as the glass, that defines the elongated arms, and the “eyelids” of white KRION. The aim is to create a buffer space between the double glazed façade and the exterior skin, in order to guarantee the maximum hygrothermal building control. The choice of this language makes it possible not to give the architecture an image of a classic hospital, but to appear as a new scenario that welcomes people like a curtain.
Theme: competition for a market built on the remains of an ancient Roman theater, first price | Location: Bologna, Italy
Year: 2019
The thread of history. Bologna, a land of passage and history, hides the remains of an important historical memory under the current city tissue, the Roman Theater of Bologna, built in 88a.C., classified as the first Roman theater built in brick in the history. The temporal stratifications have now eclipsed it and the time, not forgiving, almost made it forgotten from the population. The project aims to focus attention on the archaeological ruins of the theater. The building that now embraces the archaeological site is formed by 3 floors articulated with paths, open spaces, enclosed spaces and double heights; the goal is to channel the visitors flow into a path that leads to the ruins, from which all the other spaces then branch out. The theme of memory and temporal stratification takes shape in the new layout, turning into a golden “lace”, a symbol of sharing, purity and identity, which envelops all the interior spaces of the building, restoring a unitary image to the intervention. The historic center of Bologna, in relation to the traditional Roman architecture, brought out some common elements such as the arch and the portico. The theme of the interior set-up aims to recreate a “traditional” atmosphere (through the archetype of the arch) reinterpreted in a contemporary key with today’s materials and technologies. The new Italian Tradition Market will host Made in Italy excellences, offering the public a unique experience through the history of Italian tradition, starting from the Romans to the present days. The new project focuses on Italian culture through the good food, the excellence of the handicraft and the ancient history of Rome.
Theme: Exhibition spaces | Location: Los Angeles, California | Year: 2020 | With: Lorenzo Bertelli, Pietro Bergamini
Taking as a base the masterplan design proposed by Weiss/Manfredi, the project of the new campus aims at enhancing the existing buildings, integrating them with the masterplan. Considering the value and popularity of the museum campus within the Los Angeles community, the design idea craves to give the buildings a new identity. Thus, the will is to maintain the current shapes and improve the overall layout of the complex.
After a detailed functional and strategic analysis, the critical issues that currently limit the usability of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art have been highlighted. Through a few specific design steps the public and community function of the museums has been enhanced. The project integrates the buildings with the design of the new masterplan and improves the current connections through the insertion of a range of connective and exhibition spaces. This aims to valorize the recognisability of the museum complex. Furthermore, the exterior walls of the buildings have been replaced and a double exterior skin has been added. It can be seen as an improvement from an energetic and environmental sustainability point of view. Thus, the project introduces a new iconic value to the complex: the buildings seem to arise from the organic traces of the Weiss/Manfredi’s masterplan.
Theme: adaptable tree house | Location: France, several locations| Year: 2020 With: Lorenzo Bertelli, Pietro Bergamini, Gianmarco Paglierani
The tree house represents the ideal shelter for the children, a safe, fairytale place, in full harmony with the surrounding nature. Vibrac, Mothe Chandeniers, Ebaupinay stand as perfect scenarios to fully express the concept of the tree house: it is from the traditional architecture of the place that the project takes shape.
The French castle archetype, with its spiers characterized by vertical profile, and the fusion with nature have led to define a flexible architectural model that is adaptable to various contexts. From the Module 1, the tree house module, the concept of the Module among trees was born: it uses the same basic elements by proposing a variable configuration depending on the context in which it is located. Construction simplicity, flexibility, modularity and adaptability are the main concepts on which the project is based.
The functional spaces of the house have been defined individually starting from 2 basic modules so that they can be assembled in endless configurations. A simple wooden structure anchored to the tree acts as a container to freely arrange the various rooms of the house connected to each other. Finally, the exterior net creates an archetypal environment, defining the formal aspect of the building and at the same time allowing a full immersion with the surrounding nature at any time of the year. This element, literally wrapping the house, allows the building to adapt to various scenarios and to anchor to the tree regardless of its characteristics.
Theme: landscape, urbanism | Location: Sesto Fiorentino, Italy | Year: 2017
Prof: Tessa Matteini, Luisa Bravo, Giovanni Bartolozzi | With: Edoardo Daniele Stuggiu
The project involves the re-activation of the territory potentialities and the emphasis on its archaeological and historical-cultural values through a “transversal seam” that connecting the macro-lands of the municipality of Sesto Fiorentino aim at encouraging the use of eco-sustainable means of transport, acting in opposition to the fast-moving mobility axis.
The Zambra Archaeological Park is in the center of the intervention, acting as a new strategic point of reference for the surrounding area, a connective “fiber” in which the aspects and the character of the landscape of Sesto Fiorentino come together. The landscape features of the Villa Torrigiani Park and the Villa Stanley Garden, adjacent to the Zambra Archaeological Park, flow into the project area, thus framing a large central strip that connects the north and south park areas. This is a way to define a new itinerary that allows direct access to the Etruscan tomb of Montagnola, which has not yet been valued because of its difficult access. The organic framework of the park and the vegetation with the wooded areas, the gardens and the vegetable screen on the west side towards the graveyard, will guide the visitors to the main focal points and allow them to take advantage of various spaces recalling the character of the hilly area of Sesto Fiorentino.
