FABRICIO BRIDGE

GROUP PROJECT, 1ST SEMESTER, MASTER STUDIES, JANUARY 2024 LOCATION: ROME, ITALY

The following project represents the final exam of the course ,,Architectural survey” teached by the professor at Faculty of Architecture (Conservation) at Sapienza University of Rome, phD. Carlo Inglese. The project consists of a various analysis of (Fabricio brigde-first bridge in Rome, located on the Tiber island) by using both traditional and modern methods, historical, urban and architectural analysis

recreation, entertainment, socializing The site positioned in a high traffic area, surrounded by the commercial centers, park and hospital required an adequate solution by which there would be an intimate corner for the residents of the complex The site is divided into the two zones; the commercial zone and residential zone

Ponte Fabricio, currently known as the Quattro Capi bridge, is the bridge that connects the Tiber Island to the mainland on the eastern side, towards Campo Marzio. Very well preserved, it is the oldest in the capital existing in its original composition (Ponte Milvio and Ponte Sublicio, the oldest were initially made of wood).It is the best preserved Roman bridge, it was built in 62 BC, replacing a previous one ancient wooden structure already existing.

The bridge consists of two lowered arches, with a span of twenty-four and a half metres, resting on a median pylon with a spur-shaped base on the upstream side, but with a rounded shape towards the downstream side; above the pylon there is a six meter wide arch, with the aim of lightening the pressure of the water during river floods. At the two ends there were two small arches three and a half meters wide, but today buried. Its internal core is composed of tuff spur stone, while the exterior is made of travertine; the brick part refers to a seventeenth-century restoration

2D Architectural models. Characterization of the plan and elvations

Architectural models and analysis are done by using different methodologies and instruments. The first method was traditional survey method by drawing the eidotype of the bridge and constructing the polygonal by using the method of trilaterations. The following method was the digital survey method which consisted of taking individual points with total station, collecting data and forming a point cloud which resolved into forming the model of the bridge in RECAP software. The method of photogrammetry was also used in the goal of creating the most acccurate model of the bridge.

Renovations of the bridges on Tiber island: Differences between Fabricio bridge and Cestio bridge

As both bridges on Tiber island have a great significance for not only the island but the whole city of Rome, it is noticeable that both bridges underwent a different renovations during the history, here focus is on the renovations done during the 19th and 20th century.

While Fabricio bridge only underwent some changes and renovations regarding materials, strengthening of the bridge construction and preventing future damage of the bridge caused by weather conditions, the form of Cestio bridge was changed in big portion.

ART & CITY: MUSEUM OF WATER

SOLO THESIS PROJECT, 6TH SEMESTER, JANUARY 2023

LOCATION: PODGORICA, MONTENEGRO

The location of the subject architectural and urban planning project is one of the most attractive and interesting locations in the very center of Podgorica. The project "ART&CITY" is planning the water museum "Aquatopia", the main goal of which is to create content in accordance with the existing situation, as well as to make the most of the views, all while achieving maximum sustainability and energy efficiency. The main idea is to create an oasis of peace in the center of the city, as a refuge from everyday fast-paced life. The accent is placed on the Morača river itself, so at the same time the form of the building is designed with simple geometric shapes so that it does not detract from the river bank itself and the existing greenery.

While the form of the building is shaped by geometric shapes, what makes it stand out at first glance is its facade. The panels, which represent sea waves with the help of concave and convex twists, leave a strong impression on visitors upon entering the museum. The graduated shades of blue of the panel, with the help of the sun's rays and light, enable the refraction of colors and shadows, thus creating the effect of the movement of waves, i.e. the collision of waves. The narrow window openings on the facade, which extend the entire height of the ground floor, allow the sun's rays to reach the museum premises, in the form of different beams, which contribute to a stronger

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

SOLO PROJECT, 5TH SEMESTER, JANUARY

2023 LOCATION: PODGORICA, MONTENEGRO

Project assignment required the design of multi-functional residential complex at the given location, which represents a specific entity that fully supports the life and work of artists who use that space. The program also envisages the design of spaces intended for different activities that make the user's life more pleasant ; spaces that enable undisturbed work,

recreation, entertainment, socializing The site positioned in a high traffic area, surrounded by the commercial centers, park and hospital required an adequate solution by which there would be an intimate corner for the residents of the complex The site is divided into the two zones; the commercial zone and residential zone

The first two stories are projected as a place for social gatherings and work of the artists therefore they provide areas such as art studio, theatre, dance studio, music studio, co-working space and the gallery accompanied by the terrace. By digging the ground and placing one floor below ground zero , where is also placed the main square the site creates the border between the residential building and surrounding commercial building.

The last two floors are reserved for the two bedroom,three bedroom and four bedroom apartaments which are mostly planned in an open floor plan concept and large window openings which provide a lot of natural daylight and emphasize the view on the surrounding landscape. The usage of greenery on facade and balconies accompanies the idea of sustainable architecture.

TINY HOUSE

COLLABORATIVE PROJECT, COMPETITION ENTRY, AUGUST 2022

LOCATION: LUŠTICA, MONTENEGRO

The area of the house was limited to the 25sq meters, therefore the main idea was to create a typical montenegrin coastal house but accommodate it to the energy efficient use.House is planned as a vacation house, that promotes the slow living way of life and a safe haven from everyday life.House consists of a living room,dining room and kitchen,bathroom and bedroom.The problem of storage is solved by providing cabinets under the sofa in living room and under the bed in bedroom.Sliding wooden panels that divide kitchen from the living room are a great flexible solution that can be customized due to the clients need for privacy.

Since the location of the site is favorable to the weather conditions, electric energy is provided by the usage of solar panels and the water is provided through the rain collecting systems. Usage of traditional Montenegrin rock that comes from the village Žlijebi which is famous for this type of fallow looking rock contributes to the whole image of the house and blends into the surrounding. In addition, this material is a great insulator both during the summer and winter months which accompanies the concept of passive architecture. House is surrounded by the variety of plant species which create sunshade during the hot months.

BLOK 5

SOLO PROJECT, 3RD SEMESTER, MAY 2022 LOCATION:

PODGORICA, MONTENEGRO

Reconstruction of the court of the residential building positioned in the popular neighborhood called Blok 5 required accommodation of site to the age groups of all the residents Found state of the site was present with the destroyed outdoor furniture as well as inadequate plant care The new proposal of the site planning implied dividing the site into multiple zones:

Social zone no 1 Furniture in striking colors

Social zone no 2 Sitting booths surrounded by greenery in tall flower pots, which emphasizes intimacy. Children's playground; The same color scheme was used as in the social zone of multifunctional cubes, which creates a connection between these two zones Urban garden; Zone for the elderly people

The site is surrouned by the streets from the north, east and west side wich lead to a solution of positioning parking garage under the main court. Staying in an urban garden creates a sense of community because several individuals are working on something in common and therefore comes the sense of unity.

Creating green spaces and recreational areas around apartment buildings is important for several reasons:

Quality of Life: Green spaces and playgrounds contribute to the overall quality of life for residents. They provide a pleasant environment for relaxation, socialization, and physical activity, which can enhance the well-being of individuals and families.

Social Interaction: Playgrounds and common green areas provide opportunities for social interaction among residents. These spaces can become meeting points for neighbors, fostering a sense of community and connectedness.

Environmental Benefits: Greenery around apartment buildings can help improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen. It also contributes to temperature regulation, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Trees and plants provide habitat for birds and insects, contributing to local biodiversity.
