Rhizosphere. The New Ground 2014 - ongoing

Pushkin museum extension *Meganom*

The Rhizosphere unites all the areas of the Museum into a coherent urban space. It is a landscape platform, a film

fortifying the roots of structures; a fertile layer of urban culture and art. The Museum sphere collects the scattered plots and buildings and, complying with all the requirements of the legislation on the protection of monuments, absorbs all other permitted spheres: landscaping, public art exhibition, temporary items—or those deemed to be such and escaping the law by not actually falling into the category of protected objects.

Rhizosphere combines and merges together the multiple layers of landscape, old and new, actually existing and imaginary.

10

The new space aims to create an urban environment

of a new quality on the territory of the Museum Town.

Volkhonka Street becomes part of the Rhizosphere landscape and the front facade of the Museum Town, facing the river.

House of Dimensions May 2017

Shinkenchiku Residential Design Competition

Reflecting on the significance of dimensions and proportions in the creation of architecture, I recalled Jorge Luis Borges’s story “The Library of Babel”.

When you read this text, you get into the mystical atmosphere of some absolute space that lives by its own rules: “The universe (which others call the Library) is composed of an indefinite and perhaps infinite number of hexagonal

galleries, with vast air shafts between, surrounded by very low railings. From any of the hexagons one can see, interminably, the upper and lower floors. The distribution of the galleries is invariable. Twenty shelves, five long shelves per side, cover all the sides except two; their height, which is the distance from floor to ceiling, scarcely exceeds that of a normal bookcase”.

A House with absolute proportions does not involve a limited space - it is infinitely incomprehensible.

September - December 2015

project for international competition ÂŤRigenerare CorvialeÂť honorable mention

developed at ma0 with Stalker

A holistic approach to the longest issue public housing in Rome, the 1km long public housing complex of Corviale.

Our proposal recognizes Corviale as concrete and advanced construction of the main challenges that the contemporary city is now facing. A «marchio», the brand Corviale, which, together with the common areas of the Site Plan, will be outsourced to start up from social realities and citizenship in the area, from agencies, institutions and companies

with which to activate the «cantiere», construction of building regeneration, but also the cultural, economic and social development of this great cathedral of modernity.

Globalized Bauhaus April 2015

project for international competition ÂŤBauhaus Museum DessauÂť developed at 2A+P/A with Andrea Branzi (Archizoom)

24

The theme of the competition requires a reflection on the influence and the potential that the Bauhaus can still exert on the contemporary project, not just as historical event but as an interpretative key of the present age of globalization.

The present world is characterized by an ungovernable complexity, by the irrationality of the market, by an unsolvable social and religious conflict that constitutes a new anthropology for the civilization of machines.

The new Museum of the Bauhaus is a large aviary: an interior space capable of including the natural and artificial landscape of the city.

The ground floor is organized as a portion of productive land, while the aviary is a complex three-dimensional device,

where it is possible to imagine a synthesis between the human and animal universe: a planetary garden of biodiversity.

Above the ground, a glazed prism passes through the empty space of the aviary. This volume, suspended over piloties, houses the museum spaces as a linear gallery. The internal organization is articulated through a thin vertical blade,

made up of three levels, which, like a giant rack space, contains all the activities of the museum: exhibition spaces, offices and services.

Dallara Museum and Learning Center May 2015

Educational center and museum, Italy developed at 2A+P/A

30

The new educational and exhibition complex of Dallara was designed as a pure volume, a regular box which deforms

itself following the reclining surface of the site: a silvered prism that tilts along the gentle curves of the natural soil. The idea is to build an elegant metal monolith, a technological building, which thanks to the two large windows is projected along the slope of the hill, showing its precious substance of its interiors.
