1 Master Degree Thesis Park with telecommunication tower The main inspiration for this design is the landscape and its hidden layer. The various park paths guide the visitors through the forest, leading to different observation points and, eventually, to the top of the hill where the telecommunication tower finds its place. The object is thought as a cloud: due to its shape and its lattice grid, the tower harmoniously marries the landscape and the sky. It becomes an important and light landmark for the city itself.
2 Student dorm Naples Situated in a small lot nestled in the old centre of Naples, this building
incorporates
features
from
ancient
the
constructions,
important surrounding such
as
height and materials. The two wings respond both functionally as well as aesthetically to the neighbourhood. The “dorm wing” is meant to host up to 48 students. Small balconies lead to the small streets. The “residential wing” faces towards the main street with a facade organized with strong vertical cutting. The interior strikes with big open spaces for studying. The rooftop features a party area with a small garden. The exterior cladding is enriched with natural lava stones.
3 Bachelor degree thesis New building in a historic context My Bachelor thesis project is set in the famous Quartieri Spagnoli in Naples and focuses on the replacement of a precarious building by a new construction of six floors. A big box of cor-ten steel is cantilevered over a porch. The first floor hosts offices, the middle two feature dwellings. Above, there are four apartment for guests. The top floor is open to the public and proposes a social function. A spiral staircase leads to this roof garden, featuring a panoramic bar. Curve shaped, it appears as a futuristic object juxtaposing it from the historical neighborhood as well as the building itself.
4 House and sell point for a nursery man
An abandoned industrial shell transformed into the house and the garden of a nursery man. The warehouse is divided in three: one side for the house itself with a bedroom mezzanine, another one is for workspace. The third part is the inner garden, the hortus conclusus, a link that allows not only the growing of the plants but it also improves the ventilation and the lightning.
5 Terraced house
The interiors are marked by a strong axis, thereby being split in two sections. On the axis itself is the entrance with the hallway and stairs. Its left includes the living room and the kitchen on the first floor, as well as two bedrooms on the second floor. Restrooms are conveniently placed in the centre.
6 A Library and a residential tower Rome Firstly, there was the rendering of a neighbourhood in Rome, in order to study the context and its layout. The building takes place at the end of the main pedestrian path. Two parallelepipeds function as a library. The first on the ground hosts the entrance and the offices. The second is suspended in order to separate the reading rooms from the surroundings. The adding of a high residential tower breaks the project horizontal visual trend. In the end, technical details and structural framework are examined.
