The project is a dance school in Giubiasco (CH). The building develops along the axis of the railway and has a circular shape. Internally, the spaces follow a pattern defined by the presence of concrete partitions which are repeated on all three floors and are interrupted at the patios that bring light into the internal classrooms. Externally the structure is composed of a glass facade that has rotating and colored parasols which when closed darken the interior of the building giving the rooms various scenographic colors.

ATELIER MICHELE ARNABOLDI SP 2021 COMERIO (IT)

Botanical research centre

Following an analysis of the territory between Varese and Laveno, a site was identified within the municipality of Comerio, delimited by the presence of two rivers, which occupies a portion of the territory extended from the massif of Campo dei Fiori to the Lake of Varese. The project idea is developed starting from a wider territorial scale through the creation of a naturalistic corridor which joins the city of Comerio with the lake. The interventions on an urban scale on which we have focused are the recovery of the factory of the former Whirlpool present on the site and the creation of a botanical research centre and a new train stop. Inside the former factory there are greenhouses for the cultivation and study of plants, a flower market and an industry linked to the production of machinery for the conservation of flowers. The new building, located close to the railway, houses the station with the kiosk and the specialized laboratories of the botany centre.

SOUTH AFRICA

Water Quality SuppliesOpen ended structure

Following a detailed analysis conducted on the Orange River, the main source of water supply for all of South Africa, it was decided to place the project at the mouth of the river in question, more precisely near the town of Alexander Bay, a place so polluted as to make the river water unusable. The project aims to be an alternative, self-sufficient and resilient solution to the problem already strongly present in recent years and which will worsen more in the future. A flexible structure both in size and in use, which integrates into the ecosystem through the use of local materials and follows some indigenous and traditional construction techniques.

A modular grid composed of branches from the vegetation present along the river, a sheet to capture the fog coming from the sea and produce water locally, one to protect and one to heat are combined, transforming into spaces and infrastructures:

a house, a market, a cultivated field, a shelter for animals, a small self-sufficient refuge.

Alexander Bay

River high water pollution levels due to pesticides, mining discharges, salinification.

Underground water natural reserves doesn’t cover the amount of water needs because of scarce rainfalls.

Mining companies provide potable water during the extraction process. Nevertheless there’s no aggrement between the governement and the companies

Desalinification Plants’ll be built in some decades from now, waiting from financings.

In collaboration with Giulio Rosi

The project consists of the extension of the art museum of the city of Solothurn. The existing museum is located within a park together with two other buildings, a church and a concert hall. The intervention is parallel to the road that unites the old city with the new part and in close relationship with the 19th century building of the current museum. The project aims to create a new connection between the existing buildings, the park and the city. In fact, it arises as a sculptural volume in the park, taking up in plan and volume the spatiality present in the existing museum, which is metaphorically disassembled and reassembled in a contemporary key. On the ground floor, to maintain the continuity of the park, in the central area the building is detached from the ground, while at the ends there are two volumes anchored to the ground: the head which is more related to the existing building and a higher terminal part related to the bell tower and concert hall, creating a continuity between buildings and park. Internally, the extension takes up the existing spatiality of the nineteenth-century museum consisting of a concatenation of exhibition rooms with varying heights, creating flexible spaces and allowing the display of different works and installations.

Redevelopment of Mirèrèni Golf

The project is developed in the Mirèrèni Golf district, which is the poorest area of the city of Mirèrèni Bè. Starting from an analysis of the existing situation, I identified a series of buildings in very bad condition. Through the demolition of the same, I was able to work on an urban scale on the reorganization of the parcels and on the limitation of existing properties, developing a system of local brick walls that divide the possessions, currently delimited in a chaotic manner and by temporary metal sheets. However, the town had a strong identity given by the presence of very narrow passages that I wanted to keep in the project as well. The brick walls follow the topographical trend and have two types of openings inside: those intended for private properties of one meter in size and always placed on the alleys and the larger public ones placed on collective spaces.

Through this reorganization I was able to create urban spaces for the community within the country and develop three design interventions: a Koranic school, a dormitory and a wash house. All the interventions were conceived as public, indispensable to strengthen the creation of spaces for the community currently not present in the village and built in the same material as the walls, in order to create continuity and identity to the place.

The intervention is located in the north-western part of Milan, in the residential neighbourhood of Baggio, within the plot occupied by the tram depot. The area under analysis is purely residential, well served and without special needs.

The project is developed between the Atm depot in Baggio and the perimeter of the plot, in the residual space obtained through the demolition of the outbuildings currently present, built after the depot itself. The new construction consists of a sequence of modules composed of four pillars and a sloping roof. The roof design allows light to enter, illuminating the spaces occupied by a kindergarten, a bowling alley, a library and a market. As the area covered by the intervention is about 8000 m2, a rainwater drainage system was designed that provides for water runoff within each pillar, reaching the groundwater level directly without connections to the drainage network, thus promoting soil cooling and decreasing excessive sealing, which is too prevalent in cities today.

Anna Murisasco worked at fala atelier in Porto as an intern architect between September 2019 and June 2020. In different projects, she proved to be a professional young architect, with an open mind and an optimistic approach.

Anna was curious and dedicated, consistently demonstrating a full commitment and will to understand the atelier's architectural concerns. She contributed to our projects with her curiosity and it is easy to see that she is passionate about the discipline and what substantiates it.

Anna wanted to discuss and learn about architecture which is as much as we could ask for.

Although still in the beginning of her career, Anna showed a mature approach to the profession. In the atelier Anna was part of different projects, easily jumping between problems and scales. She was involved in concept design processes, execution phases, produced presentation drawings and images, was a constant part of project discussions and regularly followed up on constructions sites, always expressing a positive attitude. She also took part on photoshoots and other parallel activities of the atelier. Anna helped our young atelier to evolve with her motivation and dedication.

Anna has been appreciated for the quality her work presents. In addition to being responsible and diligent, she was a very positive and kind presence in the atelier; we truly thank Anna for her time. We can recommend her without reservation and we wish Anna the best success in her personal and professional endeavours.
