Portfolio Ugo BRANCATO
Hi! I’m Ugo and I was born in Palermo in 1992. I graduated in Architecture at the University of Palermo in the academic year 2017-18 with a dissertation on the former San Giacomo Prison in Favignana (Trapani, Italy), in collaboration with the Department of Penitentiary Administration (DAP) of the Italian Ministry of Justice. After the Erasmus program in Marseille (France) in 2013-14, I developed a concrete interest in the issue of urban spaces. Since 2016 I am part of the research group “LandLabPA" directed by Prof. Manfredi Leone from University of Palermo and I participate in scientific productions. I actively collaborate with the association Mare Memoria Viva of Palermo. I explore with this sensibleness the topics of design, planning and management of open spaces and landscape at different scales, from the playground to the naturalistic system, in a synthesis of technique, protection, natural needs and human needs. The following selection derives from the possibility of having accompanied the academic path with various competitions, laboratories, researches and exhibitions, largely outside the professional or university environment, with the exception of the final thesis.

Oggetto: “Concorso Internazionale di progettazione, con procedura aperta, per la progettazione del “sistema tram Palermo - Fase II” progetto generale e progetto I° Stralcio”: Lettera referenze Dott. Ugo BRANCATO
Negli anni 2017 e 2018, in qualità di Direttore Tecnico della società VOLO Ingegneria, ho avuto il piacere di collaborare con il Dott. Ugo Brancato per il Concorso Internazionale di Progettazione "Sistema Tram Palermo", bandito dal Comune di Palermo nel 2017. La collaborazione si è svolta in entrambe le fasi della competizione in cui il gruppo di progettazione (di cui faceva parte la mia organizzazione) ha preso parte. Nel periodo in cui il Dott. Ugo BRANCATO ha collaborato, lo stesso ha operato come Graphic Designer e 2D-3D Model Maker, nonché come progettista junior, ha partecipato allo studio di fattibilità tecnico ed economico, al miglioramento dell'efficacia grafica e della comunicazione dell’intero progetto di elevata complessità. Ho avuto modo di constatare le indiscutibili capacità di risoluzione di problemi inerenti alla disciplina architettonica e urbanistica, all’organizzazione e gestione del lavoro di squadra, del confronto con le normative vigenti e dei bandi di concorso internazionali. Lo sforzo coscienzioso e la collaborazione nello svolgimento di un lavoro di innegabile qualità sono stati apprezzati da ogni membro del gruppo di progettazione, contribuendo al positivo risultato raggiunto nel concorso: vincitori in Fase I, ammessi e successivamente 4° classificati della Fase II. Nello specifico il gruppo di progettazione, di cui sopra, era composto da Ing. Alfredo Ingletti (3TI Progetti, capogruppo), Arch. Federico Bargone (S.b.arch. Bargone Associati), Arch. Maximiliano Pintore, Ing. Salvatore Volo (VOLO Engineering and Consulting), Prof. Arch. Manfredi Leone, Prof. Ing. Giuseppe Trombino. Raccomando vivamente, a chi interessato, le prestazioni e le capacità del Dott. Ugo BRANCATO. Restiamo disponibili per qualsiasi ulteriore approfondimento.

1. Intra Moenia. The secret gardens of Fort S. Giacomo in Favignana Final thesis (2018) University of Palermo, Polytechnic School, Department of Architecture, 2nd cycle Degree in Architecture (5 years), code LM-4 C.U., A.Y. 2017-2018, Supervisor: Manfredi Leone (landscape architecture), co-supervisor Emanuela Garofalo (history of architecture). Re-organization of the external spaces of the former prison of S. Giacomo of Favignana, built in the structure of the late sixteenth-century fort, whose nucleus was in turn part of the medieval defensive system of the island, and which is in the phase of total disposal of all his penitentiary functions since 2011. The proposal is to open the public space in front, located in the city center but separated from it by a 7 meter high concrete wall, and forese the disposal of the additions that over time have transformed the fort into a penitentiary citadel and the transformations of some portions of the route into stops, play and exploration devices.
