Assessing Urban Transformations [AEGION, GREECE]

Academic Work: Polytechnic University of Turin Individual Work: MSc. Thesis Project Supervisor: Marta Carla Bottero (marta.bottero@polito.it) Mauro Berta (mauro.berta@polito.it)

Project Type: Urban Transformation and Project Evaluation Semester: MSc. 4 Period: March 2014-December 2014 (graduation date 19/12/2014) with “mention�: right to publication of the thesis from the Polytechnic of Turin

Link: http://issuu.com/themospapadopoulos/docs/themistoklis_papadopoulos_mater_the Keywords: assessment, feasibility, decision making, urban trasformation, industrial heritage, scenarios, conjoint analysis, cost-benefit analysis The purpose of this thesis is the creation of strategies for the feasibility of a project of urban transformation through the evaluation of alternative scenarios and based on a multi-methodological approach used to explore different dimensions of the problem.

In this way it is possible to identify the best proposal both in economic and socio-environmental terms.

More specifically, the work focuses on the knowledge, conservation and hypothetical enhancement of parts of abandoned cities, which are part of the industrial archaeology of modern cities. The feasibility study is used as a tool to define a set of elements and arguments, which are capable to outline the guidelines for the most appropriate project.

Therefore, no one talks simply of the realization of a project for the transformation of an abandoned area, but rather trying to build a real feasibility plan that is deemed necessary now more than ever, following and emphasizing on the importance of a more sustainable development.

This process is considered to be of great importance because it is aimed at achieving the objectives for the improvement of the current conditions. The application of multiple disciplines for the study of this transformation is favourable because it is not about a simple redevelopment of a degraded site, but the urban regeneration of a piece of the city.

This thesis focuses on an industrial area on the Greek outskirts, more precisely in the case of the industrial complex for the manufacture of paper in Aegion in the Peloponnese.

Pedestrian Reconnections [MILLESIMO, ITALY]

Academic Work: Polytechnic University of Turin Group Work: Themistoklis Papadopoulos, Valeria Savio,

Course: Design Unit/Structure and Shape_Design of a footbridge system over the Bormida river in Millesimo

Supervisor: Giovanni Durbiano (giovanni.durbiano@polito.it) Walter Ceretto (walter.ceretto@polito.it)

Project Type: Urban Planning and Structures Semester: MSc. 3 Period: October 2013-February 2014 The project, is located near the historic centre of the medieval-age city of Millesimo (province of Liguria) and aims to create a system of pedestrian walkways as a response to the problem of the urban mending of the two parts of the village that are separated from the river Bormida. The project idea for the redevelopment of the area adjacent to the bridge, of the thirteenth century, Gaietta, is thought as a supplement of the old bridge, both from the functional point of view, to allow the transition between the two banks, both from the formal point of view, as a dialogue between the ancient bow and the new one.

The goal is to design new functions, reorganize and redevelop part of a territory otherwise excluded from the village of Millesimo, which due to its own conformation tends to close down the Bormida river. The intent is to communicate with the historic character of the Village, to recover a lost historical identity, as replaced by a new idea of industrial city, which increasingly tends to connote Millesimo. The proposal of the project for the new footbridge was born starting from the observation that Gaietta Bridge, looked in prospect, it calls through its layers of matter in the shape of a tape stretched over an arch. The reference structure therefore becomes this, the relationship with the arch and the asymmetrical cut of Gaietta.

To complete this project it was necessary to analyze in detail the technological and structural characteristics of the new pedestrian walkway as was the main objective of the project unit.

Social Housing

[BOGOTA, COLOMBIA]

Academic Work: Polytechnic University of Turin Individual Work Course: Design Unit/Techniques and Aerchitectural design procedures_ Social housing project in the Sabana of Bogotà

Supervisor: Giancarlo Motta (giancarlo.motta@polito.it) Luca Caneparo (luca.caneparo@polito.it)

Project Type: Urban Planning and Technology Semester: MSc. 2 Period: March 2013-July 2013 The project, located in the Sabana of Bogota and more precisely the city of Funza, starts with the choice to integrate, into a single piece of the masterplan, the natural element of the Sabana with artificial ones such as the distribution gallery, the built ( housing and services) and the open spaces designed.

Through the study and analysis of various references I closer to the design of the new social housing complex. The project evolves by initially placing in the whole lot (“tasselo”) the distribution element or the gallery and then the various buildings.

These buildings are achieved through the redesign of the Immeuble Villas of Le Corbusier. The entire complex is made ​​up of several buildings arranged in three floors with stairs placed in a building designed for the vertical distribution and the services of the social housing. The apartments are placed in different sizes 45 m2, 60 m2 and 95 m2. Each location is easily accessible from the ground or share 3,10 m in height due to an integrated system of flooring (waterproof and permeable), ramps and lifts.

The primary mobility winding and exhausts all around to the whole lot, allowing it to remain an “island” viable only by pedestrians and bicycles. The lot is concluded by the creation of a public park that incorporates the natural element of Sabana.

Particular attention was given in the organization and technological aspects of the public spaces and more precisely the courts created from buildings. These courts included urban gardens, open to all residents, in order to facilitate their socialization.

University College [TURIN, ITALY]

Academic Work: Polytechnic University of Turin Group Work: Themistoklis Papadopoulos, Luca Viscardi, Giulia Zucca

Course: Architecture and Technology laboratory Supervisor: Armando Baietto (armando.baietto@polito.it) Silvia Belforte (silvia.belforte@polito.it)

Project Type: Urban Planning and Tecnology Semester: BSc. 6 Period: March 2011-July 2011 The project area is located north west of the city of Turin, in the neighbourhood denominated “Aurora” , which extends at north east of the river Dora Riparia. The lot in question is bordered

by Corso Novara in the north-east, in the south-east by via Amalfi, via Padova south-west and north-west by via Perugia.

The examined lot is part of the Urban Transformation Zone (ZUT), and it is referred to those areas which were developed for industrial functions, and for which there is a redevelopment due to the change that Turin has undergone in the last decades. Currently, the batch extension of 7148 m2, is almost completely built. The project carried out follows the implementation of the PRG followed by the complete demolition and reconstruction of private buildings. The new project proposed includes the design of a private university college in the first half of the area, which overlooks the Via Amalfi. The remaining area will be occupied by a public exhibition space. The project, subject to a more detailed design is the structure for students, who spread over three floors, plus a basement. The college is equipped to accommodate a total of 112 students divided in double rooms (22 m2) and single (about 14 m2). It is equipped with an enclosed courtyard and a flat walkable roof, accessible only to patrons of the college.

The first floor is almost exclusively used as the pedestrian entrance of the college and offers many useful services open not only for the students but both for the public. In the upper floors there are bedrooms, collective kitchens and common rooms for the students’ relaxation and leisure time activities while the basement is devoted to the technical premises, warehouses and garages.

This laboratory, concludes the first cycle of training (BSc.) and aims at the development of architectural design in all its constructive aspects. For this reason, the result has been an executive project studied in a multidisciplinary manner (building technology, technical physics, structures, project evaluation) useful to extend all the architectural and technical capacities of the students.

Urban Renewal [SUSA, ITALY]

Academic Work: Polytechnic University of Turin Group Work: Francesca Famularo, Themistoklis Papadopoulos, Luca Viscardi

Course: Architecture and Restoration laboratory Supervisor: Paolo Antonelli (paolo.antonelli@polito.it) Silvia Valmaggi (silvia.valmaggi@polito.it)

Project Type: Urban Planning and Restauration Semester: BSc. 4 Period: March 2010-July 2010 The project in question is located in the parking area of the Course Soviet Union and include buildings intended primarily for residential use in line with the street frontage and a building backlog that has been thought of as the only public built for a restaurant. The new residential construction is related with the consolidated city through the maintenance of the existing stonewall to ensure continuity with the formal language of the course, characterized by the presence of the Roman walls.

The buildings approach the stonewall and thus define a north facing more closed and compact, where stone and cement predominate. The openings are recessed in such a way as to break the static nature of the facades. The south front, on the contrary, it is thought to be more dynamic and lightweight as it uses “brise-soleil”, which act as a sunscreen to the large balconies and windows surfaces. The main theme of project is about the construction of a “ hinge” between the public space of the lot, where the restaurant is located -the only service expected in the project- and the front of Corso Unione, so as to establish a connection between the two sides of the road. In general, the centre is characterized by a modular verticalism marked by the concrete walls, and a roof that creates a “cannochial” effect in the south to take advantage of the solar exposure. Indeed, the issue of energy savings is strongly taken into consideration so that the roof covering is made entirely by solar panels.

Being a laboratory of architecture and restoration another goal over the redevelopment of an abandoned area abated with a new residential project and a public park was the relief and the restoration of historic degraded buildings in such a way to preserve and enhance them.
