communication skills
Good communication skills gained through my experiences abroad. I can adapt to any situation and relate with people of different cultures due to the Erasmus and a long period of Scouting. In the workplace I am able to participate efficiently in a team due to my experience working with up to 8 people, and I am able to respond accordingly to design requirements as a result of my technical knowledge. Actually I’m working in a team of six people, to prepare my final project before degree.

A RECIPROCAL FRAME allows a simple and quick labour. It re-spects the rules of sustainability as the main material employed is just wood. The structural element consists of a bending stress which carried its own load and an upper covering is applied. There is also an underlying pole to carry the load from the upper pole through the use of a knot
Often people go hiking in order to escape the pollution and the unwanted noises of the city. In
the countryside, people want to immerse themselves in nature and forget and the stresses of
their daily lives. Unfortunately in contemporary society, capitalism is destroying every trace of tra-
ditional culture. History has shown us that human beings can live alongside nature with very few
material things. In fact, architecture formed as a way to satisfy basic needs by providing humans
with a sheltered place to eat and sleep. We would like to therefore recover this idea and express
the real essence of architecture. This project consists of a traditional hut, made of a wooden fra-
mework and a covering that guarantees protection from various weather conditions. Furthermore,
the structure efficiently corresponds to our objective.

The different uses of the space are located in different areas of the project. There is a “wet area” that includes:- Sanitation- Kitchen- Storage of equipmentwhilst not forgetting a larger one, where the main activities take place:- Sleeping- Eating- RelaxingBoth are separated by a passageway. In the next drawing, we have demonstrated the intention to allow people to see through the large windows. This allows them to be able to enjoy the night sky and nature before they sleep.

The project is situated on the banks of the river Manzanares, in
the place of the Vincente Calderon stadium. The main topic of the
project is the contrast between two different formal construction
systems. It has a semi-excavated part in the ground that blends
with nature assuming some natural features. The construction
is traditional, with few openings on the exterior (this is resolved
by adopting the internal patios). The shape is large and heavy.
On this system, in perfect contrast, there is an imposed slen-
der tower, which seems completely made of glass. It is rooted
to the ground and rises into the sky, becoming more and more
light. This is achieved by differentiating the height of the stories.
In fact, the tower is divided into three parts, each of which has
15 floors. Starting from the bottom, the first (the offices) has an
interfloor of 3 metres, the second (the hotel) has one of 4 meters,
the third (the apartments) has one of 5 metres. It gives the idea of
horizontality and heaviness, which is lost as you climb. The tower
becomes physically slender due to the consistency of the pillars.
Furthermore, on the top floor the pillars are thinner and fewer.

The objective of this project focuses on the re-
development of a peripheral area of the city of
Milan. This is an area without an identity but
is characterised by different forms. Due to this,
the project assumes distinguishable characte-
ristics in order to re-establish the area with its
own identity.

THE POWER OF STONE
Self-supporting partition wallStereotomia dell'architettura, Giuseppe FallacaraDICAR, BARI, 2014
The complexity of the latter is allowed by the
use of reconstituted stone: the liquid pou-
red into a mold solidifies becoming a solid of
excellent performance. The individual modular
pieces are assembled in an innovative way to
the limits of technical possibilities, to create a
self-supporting wall. Each block has holes at
ends. Through these holes, a metal element
pass to hold together the pieces.
Block preparation
Construction process
The project is based on the creation of a self-sup-
porting partition wall. The modularity of the sy-
stem allows visual order and easy installation: the
only element used, was not only repeated but
also shifted and rotated, in order to achieve a har-
monious system due to the curved shape of the
block permits pleasant lighting effects. Starting
from a simple square, the block represents the
materialization of its diagonal (40 cm) following the
trajectory of an arc of circumference. For greater
stability, the modules (3x3) will be glued together
and then juxtaposed to dry. The reference studied,
is the sculptural and architectural composition of
Erwin Hauer.

CONCRETE RULED SURFACE
Structure based on a hyperbolic paraboloidTeorie e Tecniche della progettazione architettonica, Claudio d'Amato GuerrieriDICAR, BARI, 2014
The architectural form is the result of the geometric
construction of a ruled surface: the hyperbolic para-
boloid. A mathematical element is converted into ar-
chitecture. Two ends of the geometric surface arrive
at the same level, these are the only two supporting
points of the element, which allow the passage of
the static forces to be transferred from the structu-
re to the ground. The balance is guaranteed by the
size of the diagonal beam and the rib that stiffens
the shell. A peculiarity of the structure is to be repe-
ated in series.

LIGHT BREAKS DARK
Cultural centre into the Bari's suburbLab. Progettazione Architettonica, Calogero MontalbanoDICAR, BARI, 2013
The purpose of the project is to create a cultural centre for the suburbs of Bari. In this area there are different elements
present: an urban junction of which converges many roads, a school, a residential area, a stream and a sanctuary. As a
result, the project sews different parts of the city, absorbing outside influences and converting them into architecture. This
architecture tries to be unobtrusive, merging with nature. Furthermore, the project is underground, and characterized by
a main axis of which is completely excavated in order to allow the access of light and air. The interior space is divided into
“microcosms” following the imprint of Peter Zumthor’s Therme Vals.

HOUSING
Terraced houses with an internal patioLab. Costruzione dell'Architettura, Spartaco ParisDICAR, BARI, 2012
This project is situated in the area of the
new expansion of Basilicata. This particu-
lar territory is characterized by its uneven
terrain. The two sides of the housing unit
are part of a group of terraced houses, ba-
sed on different levels: these different levels
also resonate inside the house finding the
meeting point in the system of vertical con-
nection, the stairway.
The project is located on a plot of 8 x 14 m.
It consists of two building systems: conti-
nuous masonry ashlar-faced dry mounted,
and two boxes autonomous composed
of wooden panels bearing. Inside coexist
two different heights united by core verti-
cal connection that allows to interact ex-
tremes. The architecture has a patio under
which there is a tank that receives the white
water suitable for recycling..
