This project was conducted as part of the “Laboratory of Complex Constructions I” during the final Studio of the Master’s Degree in Building Architecture at Politecnico di Milano.

The project site is situated on the outskirts of the historic center of Padova, within a former military complex. Presently, the area, which is partly owned by the Municipality of Padova, is in a state of nearabandonment and decay. The open spaces are currently utilized as parking lots, while some of the old buildings serve as public o ices. Additionally, there is a significant portion of public gardens and a Monastery, which have been preserved as part of the project.

One of the primary objectives of the project was to create a building complex integrated within a green park. Given the unfavorable condition of the existing buildings in the area, we opted to demolish them entirely and completely redesign the lot, with a focus on preserving as much greenery as possible.

Furthermore, the overall masterplan took into account the existence of an ancient wall, and therefore, we aimed to establish pathways that relate to it. These pathways include the linear park, the residential complex, the collective buildings, and the main square.

As a result, the new complex consists of a total of six buildings. Four of these buildings are designated for residential use, considering the significant role that the university plays in the city of Padova. Additionally, there is a library building and a multifunctional hall that hosts exhibitions, sports activities, recreational events, and shows. Moreover, commercial spaces have been incorporated, intended to serve both the new tenants of the area and the city’s residents.

This project is currently in development as part of the “Laboratorio del Costruire,” a course led by Architect Renzo Piano and the Tutors from Politecnico di Milano.

The main goal of the course was to recognize aspects of a specific project that could be subject to debate. This goal was achieved by considering the testimonies of Architect Renzo Piano and his collaborators, who shared insights about the development of notable projects from his career. By drawing upon their experiences and expertise, the course aimed to identify thematics within a project that could be reconsidered, improved, or approached di erently, and to propose alternative solutions or ideas based on those re ections.

Motivated by Architect Piano, our case study was Menil Collection. A very remarcable project of the Architect’s career, it has changed the way we see natural light and interact with it when designing a building. However, understanding that the museum was designed in the 80s, our research started with persuing a possibile improvement of the energy consume for the existing building and, after that, moved into the proposition of a new museum, inspired by light and energetic sustainability, next to the Menil Collection.

By saying that, the project consists in the creation of a ‘light box’, an experimental museum and its roof was the main object of study. The building is 48m x 48m, modulated as Menil Collection, with a 12m x 6m grid. We proposed a 3 layer roof, composed by a layer of reticular beams, glass, and the leafs to filter the sun light before it enters the building.

This project was undertaken as part of the “Laboratory of Structures and Infrastructures in the Landscape” within the Master’s Degree Course in Building Architecture at Politecnico di Milano.

The primary objective of the project is to reconnect existing cycling and pedestrian paths through a new intervention. The initial studies involved an analysis of the area and its context, focusing on an existing bridge with a symmetrical shape that crossed Viale Fulvio Testi, connecting two areas near the Giulio Casiraghi school and the Multimedica. It was observed that the former bridge was unable to e iciently distribute the ow of pedestrians and cyclists, not only due to its plan shape but also its limited width.

The proposed solution aims to create a significantly di erent bridge, characterized by uid shapes that facilitate connectivity between the surrounding areas. The bridge section has been designed with a width of 5 meters, providing ample space for the smooth passage of both pedestrians and cyclists.

From a construction perspective, the new bridge is positioned alongside the existing one, ensuring its continued use during the construction phase.

The bridge features four arms that gradually rise in altitude with a gradient of 6%. Adjacent to one of the entrances to the wooded area, two sets of circular stairs accompany the arms of the bridge. This placement of the staircases allows for the interruption of the corresponding lengths of two arms, providing additional points of descent for users.

The Senegal Elementary School project was developed within the context of a competition organized by the Archstorming Association, in collaboration with LBMS (Let’s build my school).

The primary objective was to replace the existing school facility located in Marsassoum, Senegal, with a new structure constructed using local materials, local labor, and volunteers.

The project was guided by a process of construction rationalization, taking into consideration a restricted budget and a specific program.

The team’s main focus was to design a building that fosters social interaction and creates permeable spaces, not only visually but also for e icient wind circulation. The proposed design consists of seven rooms, each measuring 63m2, arranged in two rows around a central courtyard where a mature tree is already present. A living area is situated between the courtyard and the entrance, while gravel paths connect all the di erent areas.

The construction process was carefully planned to optimize material usage and ease of construction. Local materials such as sand, wood, cement, and clay were chosen, as they are familiar to the community and readily available. Additionally, a comprehensive installation manual was created to guide and involve the community in the construction process, thereby instilling a sense of ownership in building their new school.

This project was conducted in 2019 as part of the “Atelier di Public e Exhibit Design” course at Sapienza Università di Roma during my exchange student period.

The installation was developed for Elica Aria Nuova, an innovative company specializing in the production of hoods and air purifiers. The design concept aimed to create an exhibition pavilion that showcases the company’s products and brand communication.

The project draws inspiration from the Italian company’s ability to create shapes and spaces that cater to customer needs. The design incorporates a grid system and adaptable modules that can be adjusted to di erent levels, oors, and spatial requirements, considering a well-defined program.

The structure is constructed using metallic sca olding with a minimum module size of 60x60 centimeters, which can be adapted to 120x60 centimeter modules. These modules are combined with colored MDF boards to form benches, side enclosures, and ooring elements.

The team employed an assembly and disassembly strategy, utilizing both solid and void elements to achieve a final installed form of 20x20 meters, derived from the primary module. The exploration of paths and shapes within the longitudinal and transversal aspects of the installation was a significant focus of the study.

In terms of the program, the installation includes an entrance locker room, meeting rooms, exhibition spaces, a lounge area, and a kitchen designed for events.

This project was developed as part of the “Competition for the New Headquarters of Engineers and Architects of Sorocaba.” I had the opportunity to participate in this competition as an intern with Estúdio Módulo.

The proposed new headquarters for AEAS (Engineers and Architects Association of Sorocaba) in the city of Sorocaba aims to re ect the institution’s mission of promoting the development and dissemination of scientific content and knowledge through its architectural design.

The headquarters are divided into three stages and consider a phased construction approach: the bar, the terrace, and the base. The bar, constructed with a metallic structure supported by concrete pillars, appears to oat on a water mirror and e iciently organizes the workspaces. At the city level, the esplanade invites visitors from the sidewalk to take a linear and direct path, while also providing a visually engaging experience by intersecting the water mirror. The design ensures panoramic views of the city and Morro Ipanema, which remain accessible to the public. The base, constructed with concrete, houses more enclosed spaces that are intelligently connected through patios and voids. The central atrium serves as a focal point for circulation. The architectural design aims to strike a balance between the sensations of grandeur, urban integration, and human scale.

The project for the three chalets and the main house was developed between 2020 and 2021 during my internship with Studio 23Sul Arquitetura.

The concept behind the project was to create a complex consisting of a main house, smaller retreat volumes (chalets), and a common leisure area. Several premises were established, including the avoidance of machine usage due to limited access, minimal use of retaining walls, maintenance of privacy for the main house and chalets, and the provision of collective access to the existing street.

To address these premises, the volumes were positioned radially, ensuring privacy for each unit. Additionally, elevating the buildings from the ground was considered to enhance comfort, particularly given São Francisco Xavier’s humid and rainy climate.

Regarding materiality, the design aimed to use lightweight and easily constructible materials for the house and chalets. This included wood-frame construction, wall panels, minioned tile, plywood, cement board, and wooden structures. The foundation pillars were made of concrete, and cyclopean concrete was chosen for the retaining walls.

This project was developed between 2020 and 2021 during my internship with Studio 23Sul Arquitetura.

The design concept was primarily driven by the intention to create a gallery, an experimental, multiuse and open space, by maximizing the use of the available land and incorporating external spaces into the interior. To achieve this, an elongated shape was created with an internal garden, enclosed by a glass skin that provides ample natural light to the interior spaces.

By studying di erent grids, a guiding module was established to determine the layout of the roof, frames, structure, and overall arrangement of the building. The project encompasses a wide scope, featuring a main hall integrated with an atrium, a rear intimate area housing services, toilets, a kitchen, and a living room/library.

The upper oor consists of a raised platform with multiple functions, extending throughout the building and facing the atrium facades. Additionally, a private room is located on this oor.

Aesthetically, the building aims to embrace its industrial identity by showcasing the metallic structure, steel frame slabs, and ‘vitrô’ frame enclosures. The atrium facade features a frame that extends to the structural height of the walkway, allowing the hall to fully open up to the internal garden.
