During the ADS 3 course held by Prof.Carloa Torricelli and Helene Holz the project involves a deep environmental analysis in Porto [Portugal]. A er a 5 days Workshop I am working on the final phase of our project regarding a wide aggregaon center construcon. A high size building in a open spaces entails a strong landscape architectural approach.

During the HBP course held by Alessandra Kluzer i collected with a student team data about the preservaon process in order to learn in which way it is composed . Our case of study was a student dorm obtained thanks to the restoraon of the “Ex-Manin” buil-ding in Venice .AAll those guideline have been a pretext for the involvemenet of the ISP IUAV [Architetcure University of Venice] Director , Arch.Ma-rio Spinelli .Thanks to different figures we created a documentary (short film) showing the preservaon process.[Flle avaiable on demand].

During the ASD 2 course held by Alessandra Cozza and Maeo Ballarin i joined the RE-CICLE Italy project . A requalificaon project was required in Padula [SA] . A er 5 days in the south of Italy where we analyzed the building site we planned a small part of the town connecng a modern building with the Charterhouse through a pedestrian path . he goal of the project was giving back impor-tance to Italian monuments planning city connecons.

During the BTS 1 course held by Paole Ingrid we planned a EXPO 2015 pavillion considering all the aspects concerning the Milan ehxibion.In this university course for the first me I used Grasshopper as a developer soware of complex shapes .

DDuring the UPS course held by Prof. Andrea Arcidiacono and Piergiorgio Villo we planned a wide Milan quarter called Lambrate . Our research was composed of an 8 student group and i made the final masterplan board .

During the ADS 1 course held by Prof.Alessandro Den [expired] we planned a Contemporary Art Museum in a Milan quarter requa-lifying P.zza Broleo [MI] .

During the AT course held by Prof.Ober Ilaria I experienced one day in a building site learning smaerings about process and mate-rials. I wrote a worksite diary .

My internship in LzPR studio was divided in two steps. During the first one I joined an architects team in order to write a newspaper arcle for Arch Daily describing the use of parametric soware in the Guggenheim Helsinki Design Compe on 2014 [annexed file].

DDuring the second one I started to write my thesis in collaboraon with the LzPr studio on the compe on analyzed.Currently I am doing a cognive survey sending a quesonnaire to offices joining the compe on in order to get more informaon about the ulisaon of soware. Once I will have enough data I will draw up my personal essay.My personal tutor is Prof.Ingrid Paole .

Needless to say, the similarity is because of the posion posion of both the buildings, closer to the midtown.If we overturn the French concept we discover the MACO’s one.

Here the strongest element is the protuberance pushed to the extreme. TThree protuberance define a urban curve that let visually connect the two important road [Via Broleo and Via Cusani].The small-size museum can’t qalify itself as a green space in a city, so it is a lile urban park where people usually go through to it without standby.

VIA CUSANI

VIA SACCHI VIA ORSO

THE STRONGEST “L”TThese two streets, respecvely south axis and north-west axis, are proud of a strong stream of people because Via Broleo directly connects this site to the Duomo square, meanwhile Via Cusani allows to reach the metro stop Cairoli and others important traffic nodes.nodes.

THE SECONDARY “L”These two streets have a less strong stream of people because of their lowersisize and poor inclinaon to be seen when we are going in this place starng from Duomo square, the most probable inerary.

MAIN CONNECTIONS

SECONDARY CONNECTIONS

Building technology studio class held by Prof.Paole Ingrid aims to involve students in a contemporary approachtaking advantage of the forthcoming EXPO manifestaon.

IItalian architecture is not prone to work with complex shape for the usual saturated urban ssue that characterizes historical cies.There are no many chance to compare stu-dents educaon with complex shape and I am proud to have joined BTS class.

The main goal was the learning process of Grasshopper, a parametric plug in of Rhinoce-ros 5. A er different tutorials, professors let us per-ceive a new complex shape in order to pursue a project unl the smaller detail.

In this class, me and my group chose the Indian building site for many reason. Socially speaking India, raises many issues and we wanted to translate the message of the social condion of India in architecture throug a pavilion able to mix more compo-nent beyond the “cool” complez shape.

Our pavilion lives a great contrast between a simple disposion of raonal blocks and a “parasite canopy” that put in relaon all the blocks with the energy flux.

A mulfaced naon overflowing with diversity : in Landscaper, polarized cultures of the east and west and an undefined architecture that results from this overabundance and plurality.

In it’s indipendence in 1947 India has seen architectural species from it’s regionl and vernacular techniques, tradional and Brish colonnial impacts, works and experimentaons from modern masmasters and now the global style that has infected all.

This abundance of diversity and foreign influence in one naon and culture has caused India to struggle in finding a contemporary built identy.But India’s resistance is a new architectural manifestaon that simultaneosly results directly from globalisaon and yet resists the globalizaon process.

IIn other words a new sensized parasic architecture that takes it’s vitality and nutrients from the host of the internaonal style, growing and finding it’s own indigenous and regional spirit that is “rooted”, like a tree, in the place and culture of India.

The banyan tree is a fig that starts life as a epiphyte, a plant that grows on another plant or host.Its seeds have the ability to germinate in the cracks and crevices on a host tree and even on structures.

AA er the seeds have germinated on a foreign object or host the aerial roots of the tree are sent down towards the ground and may envelope and strangle the host taking it’s nutrients and energy like a parasite

INDIA PAVILION

03Parasic is an adaptable, transient and exploive form of architecture that forces relaonship with the host building in order for survival. The concept of parasic architecture is about evoluon of space from the exisng system.

Parasic systems have many strategies for surviving aaachmen, reproducon, and sustaining themselves in any environment and situaon. The pavilion aims to translate the parasic nature of the Banyan tree and it’s ability to endure and grow despite its host, context and surroundings. Therefore, creang a opposing, adapng, instable, constrang and changing space that resembles India’s cultura and architectural resistance to globalisaon.

Calçada ArrábidaPortoIn the building site we deal with two different kind of spaces and our first duty is creang arelaonship between this two parts. The main cricity is the total different features of this two sides. The Faup architecture university by A.Siza raises on a strong concrete plaorm and it changes the skyline view watching the coast from the front.A wall marks the division between the environment in front of Faup and the concrete arficial plaorm.The wall is the fundamental element of the project generaon.

At the boom of our percepon of the space there is a deep urban analysis. In fact we preferredmantain connuity with the Project by Siza.Nonetheless we didn’ t recycle some architectural elements ,on the other hand we decide tocreate a recurring sequence of space that we can easily per-ceive in the site before theintervenon.We noced that the concrete plaorm by siza is a subdivi-sion of the space following aspontaneous terracement from the top to the boom and following the urban sourrounding.We did the same maintaining the rotaon made by A.Siza. For this reason the space seems to beccompletely in connuity with the Faup structure.At the same moment we play with materials idenfying new references inside the area andclosing the circulaon between the faup and the wild side of the building site.In this way we create a kind of student village modifying the purpose of Siza at the beginning ofthe the Faup construcon where the first goal was creang a strong and useful urban relaonshipincluding cars circulaon.

Alvaro Siza’s building, FAUP, generates 2 oblique lines including a wide empty courtyard. FAUP university is located on 2 different levels in heights.

TThis project was designed thinking about an important car circulaon.Currently the street is used just for reaching the university.

Leaving the natural se ng of the environment we propose again the empty space designed by A.Siza between the two FAUP oblique lines.

This me we give a reason to get this place, the hollowed market that ddevelopes itself under the old street, now green space.

Closing the street we get a “new space”that is at the same level of FAUP small size towers. At this point, is prey natural the effort to connect the “wild slope” located in front of this instute of architecture.

Conference room [under the square]

The new building is the key-role to understand all the project’s program. From the front is an added sequence of block in order to don’t interrupt the Siza disposion of the small towers. From the plant seems to be splied, but in the real truth the difference in heights became the reason why this building should exist.

First of all, our project preliminary phase involved several model. The reason why a physical model was necessary was the transformaon of the difference in heights that totally defines the building site. WWe decided to change in parcular one “layer” where we developed the square.In the lower one we keeped te natural structure catching the occasion to connect with a sidewalk the street.

We rotated the old siza axis that describes the university orientaon.

A process of consolidaon was when we took advantage of difference in heights at all. We decided to have a “double underground project” located ondifferent levels as stairs. TThe market is hollowed in the street but it raises on the square, meanwhile the building is hollowed in the square but it buds from the lower level.
