Working on developing a high school in Lodi - Italy, dedicated to healthcare and social assistance services, food and wine services as well as commercial services. The idea of the school stems from interview of students from similar high school, asking them for things they require and improvement to the system.

The school is located in a large open field that is adjacent by important roads. Our goal was to create a school that would be open to public, and allow for a community to be built between the school and neighborhood. On this basis, we created a central courtyard that would connect the various functional buildings. The spaces that are open to the public (Gym, Library and Auditorium) are situated on the south. And is easily accessible from the pedestrian walkway. Whilst the classroom and administrative part of the buildings are located on the norther part, having to be accessed through the courtyard. The building technology system has also be thought of, where the cladding and choice of structure reflects the idea of sustainability and product life cycle.

The multi-functional complex is located in the ex-industrial site of Bovisa, next to the Politecnico Campus of La Masa. The complex requirement was to hold certain programs related to Leisure, Culture and Sports. Our masterplan follows the rational and orthogonal axes of the existing morphology, with an attempt to weave the new complex into the current campus of Bovisa. The landscape is a series of lowered terrain, that creates platforms for varying programs. This include a platform/field dedicated to sports, and amphitheater for cultural and event purposes. All these artificial landscape helps tie the architecture in to the systems through varying connections. Moreover, a dialogue is established through the usage of the context as a stage scenery for the often-occurring central activity, and more importantly for the natural flow of everyday life. One of the references we used was from Renzo Piano “Auditorium La Casa Della Musica”, the idea of three sectors that joins in a central space.

The architectural style of our projects follows many modernist ideas combined with the industrial typology of Bovisa. The distinctive longitudinal plans of the area combine with the transparency and openness of the ground floor plans, allowing for an inviting and inclusive space.

The design task for this project started from the reflection of our relationship with nature. How should human and architecture live together with the wild. Monesteroli, is a small coast town on eastern boarder of Italy. It is a harsh and steep environment that has seen lack of human intervention over the past few decades. Combining our thoughts on nature and human, along with the site. We created a synthesized map, that explored village as a center anthropic space, a buffer zone where the two entities mingle and the outskirts which is left for the wild.

The architecture solution of the interior space and the landscape design is then created in correlation. Corridors that start from the outside cuts through the buildings, changing in height and porosity. It creates a dialogue between the built and surrounding, a unique experience that people follows as they ascend down to the sea. The corridor extends far along the contours of the mountains, slowly engulfing itself in total wilderness. The interior space is governed by the existing village. The modification uses the load bearing walls, as a place to create a new pitch roof. With a few new openings and cuts to allow for large and flexible space.

Our co-housing project in Salemi stems from the idea of redesigning typology. After the 1968 earthquake, many parts of salemi were left damaged and in ruins. Subsequently, this condition presented us with an opportunity to improve the urban fabric, and ameliorate the living conditions. These improve conditions will be achieved through the creation of less dense housing, an increase in exposures and better connectivity. To realize these conditions, the projects follows a new vertical urban grid that is superimposed and meshed with the current city. Like that found in flat cities, perpendicular roads will join the three pre-existing ring roads and further improve circulation. The ring roads stays unchanged, while the vertical grid follows a series of ruined staircases. The vertical strips of connections will be filled with urban spaces and allow people to traverse faster through the project area and the surrounding landmarks. Furthermore, the vertical grid creates extra surface areas for the built volumes, and allow us to have windows on more than one side.

Project Masterplan The architectural part was developed on the west side of the project site. I was tasked to design a small sized kindergarten and co-housing apartments. The project area required creative ways to exploit the naturally slope of the hill. What made this site unique is the fact that it is sloping in two directions, both in the latitude and longitude. Before starting the process of design, I set out the goal of making the area one unique system, focusing on circulation within my individual area, the overall masterplan, and the context of Salemi. From the idea of circulation, I wanted to create a community that would include the retirees and the children’s that would be attending the school. The plan of the buildings follows as close as possible to the old footprint of the collapsed building.

The kindergarten nestles at the end of the site, using a unique typology that is specific to the terrain of Salemi.

The ramp that surrounds the kindergarten is based on preexisting slopes and old staircase, which is then adapted to create a safe and interesting environment for the kids. The ramp focuses heavily on circulation, as is connects the kindergarten to the surrounding area with one gesture.

PHOTOGRAPHY 21

Photography has been a hobby of mine for a long time. It allows me to capture my perspective and interpretation of the world around me. As I’ve continued my path as an architect, I’ve started to appreciate architectural photography more. It allows me to look closely at a building and give a unique angle that the architect might have not intended in the first place. Photography is also how I think about my design. Often times I design spaces based on how it would be framed and perceived in real life.

Model making 21

Model making is an important aspect of architecture and is something I am passionate about. Building models allow me to understand better the spaces we create, and the problems we might face. Over the past years, I’ve had the opportunity to make models from various materials and scales. From 1:200 to 1:20 models of technical components and parts. In this portfolio, I chosen two models that contrast each other in these two aspects. The first model for a residential housing, is made entirely from depron foam. Whilst the second model required many materials and skills such as wood working.

GRASSHOPPER 21

During the solar sculpting studio held by professors Simone Giostra and Matteo Clementi. I’ve received the opportunity to learn and practice grasshopper (along with certain plugins like Ladybug). During the studio, we had to create a residential block with a required FAR value. In this block, we had to create and experiment with different volumes to optimize solar radiation. Furthermore, using threshold values to drive our design, we created facades with thermal collectors and photo voltaic panels.
