DAEDALUS 8 2016 This project was created for the Louna International Academic Construction Festival. The project had to propose a sustainable and easily reproduced solution for a stationary camping unit, materialisticly concentrating on bamboo as the principal protagonist. The project suggests the usage of bamboo in a reticular form, with specific joints that are made out of steel and could be reproduced industrially in order to mass produce the structure. Conceptually the form brings the user from the camping site from a modest opening and an elevated bamboo deck (due to the nature of the swampy ground in the Guizhou area in China, that is usually used for rice crops) - to a larger opening situated on a balcony directed towards the landscape - offering visual hierarchy between the human campsite and the natural surroundings, concentrating the user on the latter.
SLOT HOUSE 7 2016 An existing building in the center of Turin required a super-elevation. The dense 19th-century context left the access to the super-elevation only from the side of the building, thus limiting the possibility of corridors to the multiple apartments. The solution was to create a slim tall repetitive structure and “dress it’ upon a corridor fixed to the access point to the street. Every singular structure could accommodate 1 large 3 story apartment with 2 mezzanines, or 2 smaller apartments with 2 floors and a mezzanine and 1 floor and a mezzanine. That flexible possibility helps the project being relevant in a continuously changeable market. The repetitive structures were planned from cross laminated timber covered with a ventilated wall made out of terra-cotta. The terra-cotta and the openings are adjusted to the context geometrically and materialistically. The corridors and the access tower were made out of steel and glass to evidence the different function between the tower and the slot structures which also have different requirements.
THE WHITE BLOCK (that fell from outer-space) 1 2016 The project was planned on a vacant 7mx26m lot in the center of Turin. On a wide transport artery called via Madama Cristina, there are 19th and early 20th century buildings with similar height, hue and general composition. It was decided to break the visual monotony but respect the context, and to build a structure that could accommodate the needs of that urban portion. The answer was an extreme geometrical simplification of the context into a giant block made of white portland concrete, prefabricated on the basis of a 3.5mx3.5m grid that was extracted from the surrounding buildings. From the street, it would seem like a foreign object, out of its place, but in fact, it is a testimony of the geometrical existence of the busy street without ornaments, and without masks. To the strange white block that fell from outer-space, there is also a wide entrance from the street to local bars, respecting the student hub of the area due to the classrooms on the other side of the street. For the residents, the access is located on the perpendicular street, which is more quiet and isolated, and provide them an access directly to their apartments, which are 2 apartments of 120mq spreading on 2 floors each. The entire light and air circulation in this project are based on the glass wall which is directed towards the west and into the courtyard, concealed from the city and allowing the wanted opaque perception of the building.
