Printing Plastic and Clay
SMAC Summer School
Supervisor: Stefano Giovacchini
Software: Rhino - Grasshopper
During this summer school, we delved into additive manufacturing using both clay and plastic, exploring their possibilities, limitations, and various applications. I developed two projects—one for clay and one for plastic— that initially followed the same concept. However, after evaluating the unique characteristics and limitations of each material, I made specific modifications to adapt the designs. Both systems were developed with the potential to function as facade systems or integral components of one.

Supervisor: Pierpaolo Ruttico
Software: Rhino - Grasshopper
This project explores advanced fabrication methods for complex shading elements on building facades, integrating algorithmic programming, robotics, and augmented reality (AR). By developing a digital workflow that unifies design, fabrication, and performance analysis, the research demonstrates how robotic fabrication and AR can enhance precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
Through a case study, the project shows that these technologies streamline the design-to-fabrication process and improve the adaptability and performance of architectural facades, laying the groundwork for future innovation in complex architectural systems.

Introduction to Robotic Programming” course by RWTH Aachen University offers a foundational overview of key concepts in robotics, focusing on kinematics, dynamics, and control systems. Through this course, I gained essential skills in robotic programming, learning how to effectively manage and control robot movement using tools like ROS (Robot Operating System). The course emphasized practical application, allowing me to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. By the end of the course, I developed a strong understanding of robotic principles and honed my ability to program and control robotic systems, preparing me for more advanced work in the field of robotics.

Solymorph is an integrated kinematic building facade designed to optimize energetic behavior and architectural expression through individual modules. Installed on an existing library facade at Politecnico di Milano, Lecco, this case study demonstrates significant improvements in electricity generation compared to static photovoltaic systems.
The project highlights the potential for energy savings in various climates and aims to drive advancements in sustainable building design by leveraging soft robotics and artificial intelligence. This innovative approach contributes to developing energy-efficient facade solutions for both new constructions and existing buildings.
