After completing my first degree in Architecture of Building Constructions ( M.Sc. 5years) in Italy, I extended my education with a post-graduate in Urbanism (M.Sc. 2 years) at TUDelft, Netherlands. My initial education taught me the technical understanding of construction processes and allowed me to develop the care for detailing ad craft-works, as well as fascination for traditional architectural typologies, and morphologies. The education I had in Holland sharpened my understanding of the complexities behind the urban scale, which I consider as a valuable addition to my architectural education. After the studies I had been working as urban designer at Mecanoo architecten (Delft, The Netherlands), where I was involved in many different processes and international projects. The responsibility to bring on a project from competition phase to development, within a young, international environment was 'another education on its own. In 2018 I moved to work as architect at TALUD (Leuven, Belgium), where I was mainly involved in private residential project, entirely developed in Archicad, from sketch design to building permissions. More recently I worked as designer on a various range of architectural projects at OSKAR, were the entire workflow was based on BIM, mainly Archicad, but also Revit. My academic and professional experiences, together with the passion for travelling, brought me to work and live in a multicultural context, where the teamwork had been fundamental. Communication for me means proficiency in the language, as well as in the graphic where I usually focus, and spend most of the time. Finally the experiences throughout various architectural practices, brought me proficiency in the use of BIM software, which I intend to pursue and strenghten through the combined use with visualization software.

The competition aimed to select a project which would be a landmark, and a functional library, for the metropolitan city of Tainan, with the exibility to provide a scheme of a further expansion. Our idea was to provide a cantilevered structure, noticeable from distance that would also leave a wide open space on the ground level, and isolate the library from the city's noise with a green belt of selected species. Both the architectonic and landscape were conceived together, and as a result it was a winning design, carried out with good BIM management that created a fast and smooth process with the local Taiwanese partner ofce, from competition phase, until submission of the detailed design.
The water refelcts towards the cantiliver, whereas vegetation rises towards the exterior.
The enclosure made by the vegetation opens strategically to allows view of the facade, and to mark the entries.

Given the professional experience in Taiwan, we were asked to nd a solution for a long dismissed railway, centrally placed in the city, and elevated on a dyke, that was recently replaced by an elevated railway. The linear area, and its strategic position gave the idea for a pilot project of a green infrstructure line, for pedestrians and bikers, together with a multifunctional park, that would give sport elds, leisure green areas, and public spaces for market and gathering.
The railway line, before a barrier with some gates for cars, become a place more frienldy to other means of transport, and a place not only to cross, but where to stay.

ZUTI
Small private residential project. The clients had the desire to extend their living area towards their property, mainly covered by en extensive crown of trees, and a small, kitchen-garden style, wineyard. The opposite side faces the entrance alley, and a provincial road, for which the client asked to be hidefrom. Having these principles in mind, the extension is thought to be visually light and massive, made of simple steel-wood builtup. The demolition would regard only non load-bearing elements, allowing both a strategic division of spaces, a lower budget, and the possibility for the owners to cooperate in the project’s development. 0

Having already had the countryside villa already renovated with TALUD, the client, a dance teacher, decided to transform the unused barn into a dance hall that would comprise a bar-reception as extension. The main element, the tower and the wall are both an iconic remark for the changers, technical room, and bar, and are stratefic structural element that allowed to have a less invasive demolition, and lighter builtup. The arrangement of the dance hall, technical core, and bar are made to grant a diverse accessibility for the private living area, and the client-guests area.

LETI Tienen, is a small Belgian city, which perifery is already a strategic location for residential and commercial expansions of surrounding bigger cities.The client asked to densify the lot providing a renovation for the existing family house, new family houses` typologies (private entrance) and offices, to be combined in a private inner courtyard rather than the common, banal street access.

The client, owner of a lot with already existing logistic activities, asked for a masterplan in order to ask permissions for a mixed use project, that would disrupt the existing monofunctional vocation of the entire area. The site, in the outskirt of Brussels, near the main airport among many other amenities, and in between existing industrial, and residential centers, has a strategic position to host a mixed program that would boost the entire area and attract new users.

1 Ater many schemes, we decided to propose one where the industry seats back along the rail for better and faster connection, and the fron of the main road is dedicated to a more friendly, slow area, oriented for pedestrian and commercial activities. 2The whole vertical development lays on a “green” plinth which both separ ates the frenetic logistic, and give access to more private areas. 3 Cut operations allows different degrees of green and privatization, thus a more flexible scheme in case of project phasing. 4 Further cuts and pulls are made to follow natural sunpath, and an easier perception of the scale. 5 Finally the massing is adjusted to ensure exposition along the axis, and lay a solid base scheme on which is possible to have a discussion between the actors and foresee what are the possibilites.

GB-Lot 1st prize competition. The school in Lot (BG) comprises the kindergarten and the elementary school. Due to an increase number of alumni and an outdated functional layout of the structures, they asked both for a spatial extension, and a change in the layout. Considering the diversity of the two architectural element, one brick classic long element, and a modernist set of prefab boxes, we decided to add some more rational element that would directly highlight were the extension would be. The rest is a work of material and landscape, making both the layout, and the architecture more simple in the way it will be used by students, and teachers. My involvement was primarily in the management of the Archicad file, the set up of the existing situation, the design for the old brick compartment, and all the vector planar, axonometrical export and their final visualization.

1st prize competition. The competition for the extension of this college convinced the jury for its functional and simple design, an approach based on 2 phases scheme, and its sustainability. The playful outdoor space, once just an unutilized green area, becomes the center of the childrens’ activities, were numerous soils variation are created from the soil excavation materials, as shown in the diagram. My involvement in this project, among others, was on the design of the outdoor spaces, visualization of the diagrams, masterplans and plans. The entire project has been set up in Archicad.

Border's condition of the small, rural settlement, was the subject of the thesis' studio. The term border meant not only the physical conditions at the edge of the village, but also a situation of decay, where the links between nature and urban areas, which always characterize these settlements, were lost. The village of Baunei is characterized by a strong and particular identity, which roots in the steep slope where the village settles on. Poverty, recent crisis' condition, land exploitation, are common ingredients in the region of Sardinia, that lead to bad residential, and urban development . With the project I aimed to propose an architectonic, and urban re-interpretation of the original texture, that would embed a social and economical renewal as well. The qualities of the vernacular features are mixed to the contemporary needs for an economic redevelopment.
The picture is taken from the top of the ridge, the position of the settlement allows natural enlightenment, proximity to water sources and hunting areas, and control over the underlying crops. 40
Antonio Sanna | Portfolio
Photography was the starting point, the incredible bond between the powerful, and wide natural context, I thought should be the backbone of the design solution. The steep conditions mean a complex network system, e.g. the roads parallel to the slope are the main vehicular axes, whereas the tiny and perpendicular alleys, are the perpendicular connection made in steps. This create an organism where the public realm become private spontaneously, and where astonishing glimpses pop up in between a dense, and constructed layout. The masses control the land through alternated terraces, steps, and characteristic plan's solutions. My design had to be related to the existing structure, in order to emphasize the amazing features, that nature gave as a gift.

The village of Baunei stands just belowt the ridge of the wildest area of the region, that is the national park of Gennargentu. As often happens, the main regional road becomes the main street of the village, and from there, the entire urban morphology is generated.

Genesis of "Corte comune"

The historical research conrmed that Baunei expanded inwards compared to its original boundaries, due to the ground complexity, resulting in an overlaying of different historical textures. The spontaneous "sedimentation" of layers, has generated the particular feature, called the Common Courtyard ( Corte Comune), a public space that neighboring dwellings perceive as their own, and therefore they gradually enclose it via small modications of the existing structure through time. The project aims to reinterpret the precious feature, and thus give the same quality of space.

Viewpoints and flows Nature, compactness, marvelous sights, and courtyards, were all together the ingredients for the rst sketches. The existing context at the edge of the settlement was a mix of casualness, exploitation, and cheap solutions, carelessy designed during the high demand of the 70', and the 80'. Among the senseless typologies that characterize the edge of Baunei, my concern was to design a strong, iconic intervention, a cohesive project, that demonstrates the possibility to combine the nature and the intervention today, as it was normal at the village's origin. The program should therefore ts the contemporary needs. The inclination of the project's roofs, contrasts the atness of the newly constructed masses, and above all it deals with the irregularity of the rocky plateau behind.

Program Residential Duplex Workhops, expos, social
The program, considering the increasing call for a seasonal tourism, combines the need for dwellings for youngs, with the possibility to host guests (B&B type), also the presence of workshops and labs would allow artisans and farmers to nalize their products, towards a market which involves tourism too.

Architectural Composition lab IV Laboratorio di composizione dell'Architettura IV
The aim of the studio was to embed dwells, ofces, and commercial, within an historical context that nowadays is weak. The morphology of the territory has not been modied, and its architectonic types often don't match their original style, giving as result a lack of consistency, that we planned to solve with our intervention. The north|south ow is very important to the area, but because of the old urban texture, that usually generate troublesome car lines, and difculties for the local pedestrians, giving also a noisy and polluted environment. Our goal was to generate a design that matches the original types, together with the more recent one, and to create a social gathering in the shape of a giant, intimate, public courtyard. The decisions were based on the re-interpretation of the existing courtyards, the proportions between masses and voids, the private areas and the public ones. We also wanted to revitalize the quality of the urban form, based on the old-but-good intimacy between courtyard and street, thus private and public. Eventually the north|south ow passes across the lot through a series of terraces and paths that recall the original sizes, while car and heavier trafc are left to other areas. The kitchen garden, a characteristic of the district, has being reinterpreted with semi-public gardens on the ground level, and a semi-private glasshouse below the roof of the southern building.

The historic district of Marina, in Cagliari is a dense and compact urban texture with a mixed program; artisans, street food, bars and restaurant, together with the high demand of dwelling from the youth, created the project's program. We developed small, and flexible living units, suitable for cuples and small families, and smaller units for students. The weak illumination of such compact types, has been solved through the design of backyards on shifted levels, whereas we broke the heterogeneity of the lot's elevation via designing an external skin of brisoleil that allows the modulation of light.

The interiors, bright, and seemingly simples, are characterized by the use of steel and brushed alluminium, combined to a resin oors, which exible properties well t the dwell program. On the exteriors, the wood is juxtaposed to the rusted metal ( COR-ten) of the facade's skin, in order to create a desired warm|cold contrast.

Urban renovation
Small
A bottom up approach. Medium
Marghera, created as industrial expansion of Venice, nowadays its urbanity is sharply sliced in two parts. Conceived to be the place of work on the port area, and the workers' dwellings on the other side, today the two sides don't comunicate as before. A wide network of abandoned rails, dismissed and polluted industrial zones, and proximity to waters, offer alltogether a potential to invest in the area, and activate a new relationship based on contemporary needs.
Large
The city of Marghera is designed according to the "Garden cities" idea, and today its multicultural evironment aska for recreative spaces, workshops, and startups, and of course the connection with the water. Finally the division between the port and the city, characterized by the road Fratelli Bandiera, is badly renowned for its criminal life.

Reconnect historical elements with water
The study of the historical cartography allowed to understand the dynamics of the settlements in the region of South Holland, and Zeeland, that is strongly inuenced by the presence of the delta. Numerous oods eventually let the Dutch develop the Delta Project, consisting in a system of dams, and dykes, that would protect the region from high tides, storms, and therefore oods. The studio explores different scenarios regarding the future of the area, and how those places could be adapted if there would not be dams anymore. The strategy we pursued with my team, called "back to the nature", foreseen that the big dams on the ocean's side would be re-open again, allowing salty water to ow towards the river. Within the team, my project focused as rst on the study of the local settlements, and how they could be adapted to deal with the water, e.g. with amphibious housing, water-proof ground levels, new dykes' systems. More in detail, the project I developed focused on the bigger scale of the rural area, and how to deal with the presence of salt in the water that would ow inland. The idea was to frame specic areas to store the exceeding water, as in the "room for the water" program, and then to develop a sandy dam, which would separate the brackish water from the fresh one. This dam would embed a program focused on the economical redevelopment of the area through a leisure area, and a botanical park which would have the rare characteristic to show brackish water plants, in front of fresh water ones, in a natural way.

The social and economical phenomenon of depopulation led the countryside of Sardinia, as many others, to lose its inhabitants in favor of the major city centers. This is also called Rural Flight, and it's something that involves many other eld as rural Architecture and Urban morphology. Always more people move towards coasts and major city centers, or even abroad, seeking for better opportunities of education and job.On the other hand, always more people visit Sardinia because of its strong touristic vocation, not only for the beauty of its coasts, but also for the marvels which inland is particularly rich. The opportunities that this research explores are therefore focused on the Dicotomy that the Rural ight presents: a migration that is increasing the number of ghost towns as well as the residential expansion in the main cities, and on the other hand an increasing number of tourists that prefer wild and uninhabited to resorts and overcrowd. The thesis fosters the mapping of social and economical data, giving thus a strong tool for the geographical understanding of a metaphisical phenomenon, and therefore a strong tool for the design interventions and proposals.

Altitude gap 2 km
The elevation this map shows, the pace of altitude, already sets the ground for the synthesis of three main areas: the Level Ground, the Hills and Plateaus, and the Mountains. The division is essential for the unerstanding of the Systems. An homogeneous system is dened by same topo-morphological, and architectonic typological features.

The link between the geographical characteristics and the social implications is a key element of the master thesis. The rural architecture belongs to the isolated context and the introverted mindset of its population, thus the way of living is easily readable already from the architectonic types. The understanding of the territory and its features eventually matches the topic of the research, the loss of population. The aim of the project is to develop a network nowadays lost, which would regenerate the already existing benets of the rural life.There will be no changes in the thin line that bond architectures to its natural context and inhabitants. Nor there will be inhabitation. The old professions are strenghten and linked to create a system. The existing public network will be re-thinked to match the old and new needs. The system will take advantage of a renovated key structure, choose in a strategic point, which aims to connect the rural to the global, so the market of the handcrafts would have the chance of a global appeal.

Synthesis The broad geographical, economical, and social research, eventually brought to a complex regional situation, that sought the necessity of a synthesis. The summary pinpointed a series of homogeneous "systems" similar in geographical features, social behaviour, architectonic typology, and urban morphology. Within the thesis reseearch I opted to choose one system to develop in details, and this system would be the more affected by the socio-economical situation.
The recognition of the Public Services on a sample of villages across the systems dened by the synthesis, gave the chance to continue the study on one microsystem, the poorer. The pattern is anyhow clear: the less the place can afford to offer to its citizens, the stronger the migration to more "confortable" places. The road to the solution is not to provide the same service multiplied in each settlement, but it's to strategically link the villages to create a uid system, not only of public transports and public services, but also a powerful economy that shares spaces within the microsystem.

The mapping of the most important layers of the microsystem, brought to the discover of its potentialities, as the presence of an existing but hidden public network, the needed services are there but scattered within the microsystem. A tangled country-road network denes a landscape of tiny settlements and natural park, the interventions will aim to preserve the network while proposing a global intersection to them.
