Contribution: Preliminary research, conceptual design, development, technical drawing, representation
The temporary house is developed for the the specific artist who enjoy exploring local culture, invited by Villa. It was conceived as site specific design in the small courtyard that is located in museum of Villa panza. The residence is immersed in particular realities, open to the interaction with the local cultural milieu, with the aim of bringing together art and the local community. Therefore it conceived as a place for intercultural meeting, social ex- change, territorial integration.
The Service Unit project will focus on the design of a small additional architecture planned to introduce a new function. This portable design helps showcase and promote Villa Panza in various places, creating a unique vibe wherever it’s placed. It allows people to play curator, displaying their style and art among Villa Panza’s collection. An interactive design with visitors is envisaged. So, you’ve uncovered and boosted Villa Panza and its art collection.

This project was specifically designed for the 2026 Winter Olympics, with the primary goal of ensuring its sustained usefulness to the public in various capacities after the conclusion of the Olympic event. As part of this initiative, a purpose-built structure functions as a training hub for ice hockey athletes, accompanied by accommodations that cater to Olympic personnel. Following the Olympics, the ice hockey training arena seamlessly transforms into a public sports center, while the lodging areas undergo a conversion into units designated for social housing. Through our innovative
approach, we have effectively repurposed interior spaces within the sports facility, seamlessly integrating them into communal social areas. The core project design principle aims to establish shared spaces for local residents by integrating 3x6 meter panels from the Olympic training structure into the social housing. Through this adaptive reuse project, the goal is to not only create an effective event space during the olimpic, but also ensure its efficient future utilization.

Contribution: conceptual design, development, technical drawing, representation
Breathing new life into the historic marvel of the ‘Castello Sforzesco’ project, an innovative museum space has been meticulously crafted. An adjoining museum extension now proudly houses the remarkable Codex of Leonardo and the exquisite Pieta of Michelangelo. This visionary endeavor unfolds through both temporary and permanent exhibition halls, dedicated to showcasing the brilliance of the codex and pieta. A fresh, inviting entrance greets visitors, guiding them into the enchanting garland tunnel.
This transformation aspires to encapsulate a modernistic museum ethos, harnessing the latent potential beneath the surface. It harmoniously melds the allure of the castle and ravelin ruins with the exciting possibilities of the subterranean realm. The result is a harmonious blend of heritage and innovation, a testament to the past and a beacon of contemporary artistic exploration.

Contribution: conceptual design, development, technical drawing, representation
This project’s objective is to conduct on-site research that delves into the intricate connections between the physical transformation of an established urban landscape and the consequent shifts in its environmental characteristics and societal significance. Given the confined nature of the area, which encompasses a convergence of buildings from diverse historical periods, we implemented urban grafting management to address these challenges.
In response, we have developed a youth hostel tailored for young individuals, comprising well-appointed rooms and essential amenities. This design encompasses a harmonious integration of public and private spaces, with notable additions like urban installations, including designated areas for bike parking. Furthermore, a systematic approach guided the creation of the hostel’s rooms, ensuring optimal efficiency in their layout and functionality.

SENSORY SIMULATION (WITH)IN NATURE

Contribution: conceptual design, development, drawing, representation
This project is located in the abandoned mountainous village of Mostreli, which is located on the steep slopes of Cinque Terre, inhabited by very few people from time to time. The slope is popular by hiker. In the project, we aimed to use sensories in order to understand the natural beauties in the wild nature in the best way without disturbing the historical texture. The buildings in the village were built along the line formed by the ridge of the mountain, along the main staircase that provides access. by continuing this construction culture, new building was built on the line where the buildings end and
the cliffs begin. The vertical structure consists of floors arranged according to the senses of listening, vision and hearing. With this arrangement, it is aimed to increase awareness by getting to know nature. Each floor are associated with received emotions and combined with functions such as eating, meditation and sleeping. In each of the sensory areas, an architectural element - a thin window, perforated metal panels - is used to isolate and focus a particular sensation. Through these tools and concept, a delighttul building has been created that feels best atmosphere in the wilderness.
