The former “Garage Traversi” historic building became the LV Temporary store, wich represented a high-end artistic finishes and execution timing challange, LV brought in Yayoi Kosama to develop the store concept; her well known Polka Dotts and reflective mirror spheres provided a strong character for this building. SPI carry out the task to its highest level to ensure a swiftly oppening with the correct execution of the works.

EXPO DUBAI 2020

For the 2020 Dubai Expo Mogu collaborated with V8 Architects at the Dutch Biotope pavilion a 18-metre high “food cone” covered with edible plants irrigated with a technology that extracts water from the desert and has its own enclosed water, energy and food system, a true showcase of sustainability and circularity.

The Pavilion’s purposes are to provide a technology that gives a sustainable way of living , even in arid conditions, and ensure that all the building materials could be reused or returned to the earth making the installation as sustainable as possible.

Mogu provided 570 sqm of resilient ﬂoor with high-density, mycelium composite core, and an exclusively formulated bio-based covering and 1.300 Mogu Acoustic Panels, made from 100% bio-based and biodegradable.

Mogu Acoustic panels Plain

I had the opportunity to work on the research and development of the Mogu Floor “a collection of bio-based resilient tiles for interior design and architecture”. Prototyping & testing with different formulations based on bio-technology technics we came by with the final protocol to deliver on Expo Dubai 2020.

The Mogu Floor tiles consist of a mycelium composite core, coated with a proprietary formulation of bio-based resins. Mogu Floor products are 90% bio-based, replacing traditional industrial pigments with low-value bio-masses, such as corn crops, rice straw, spent coffee grounds, discarded seaweed & clam shells.

Italy. MOGU

MYCELIUM TIMBER PANELS

Mogu has been dedicated to developing and scaling-up a range of mycelium-based technologies for the production of naturally grown biomaterials. Mogu’s composite materials are obtained from organic fibers bond together by selected fungal mycelium, a bio-polymer constituting the “root structure” of mushrooms.

For this project Mogu associated with Arup into a collaborative research, exploting the idea of a sustainable module for habitat based on mycelium timber panels, with the capability of both providing shelter and acoustic/thermal isolation combining wood and myceluim technics.

During this project I had the opportunity of directly intervene on the final phases of prototyping and creation of the mycelium timber panels, using hand craft technics to finish the panels after the growth process of the mycelium, exploring different prototype variations.

SUMMER SCHOOL & WORKSHOP

During three weeks of intensive work and planning I had the opportunity to take action along 50 participants, students, mentors, and staff members, on a refurbishment project part of a social action, to carry out a sustainable architectural labor.

My roll was based on cooperative work with the mentors, guiding actively the design and construction process of the participants; responsable as well of the constructions tools and materials, runing and overseen the setouts on each step of the construction process.

As a sustainable practice I was able to follow step by step the many techniques used; ”cardboard pannels” treated on a special way, for isolation material (walls, roof); as well as the introduction of the Mycelium fungus; this material biodegrade itself naturaly, leaving minimum footprint impact compared to traditional constructive materials.

Porto, Portugal. 130 m2

Tyrefundation(readarticle)

The Green Roof is based on a glulam structure. As Project Coordinator I was able to actively participate and execute the different stages of the design, planning, and supervision. We used several sustainable technologies that have being documented in articles and videos, the use of “recycled tyres” for instance was one of the solutions implemented for the foundations of wooden-wall structure, for protecting the exterior timber facade, it was used a “charring technique” developed by the studio inspired in the traditional Japanese process of Yakisugi.

As an alternative to plastic filters, insulation, and drainage we sought to reduce material consumption and also make it easly replicable. For the stratigraphy we used EPDM layer, Cork Insulation; a Geotextile layer; finally the substrates and Irrigation System.

This non conventional green roof represents three years of hard work, prototype development, and teamwork, based on the principles of reaching a higher level of self-sustainability.

2017 Polito, IT. + Fau / UCV, VE.

Currently in Venezuelan exists a series of crucial con ditions for the correct function and development of the country, leading to a severe deterioration of daily life. A situation that will take time to revers and with it the pos sibility to satisfy the needs the city requires.

In addition of contributing with the general need to solve the big problem of mobility, the idea of the System El Hatillo & El Calvario”, brings with it the intentions of urban and physical reorganization of the Barrios into account the public space and social-cultural func tions as a fundamental part in the reorganization of the informal city.

The improvement of the quality of life vention in areas without services and infrastructures, is the focal point to be developed in future urban interven tions, the relations of the individual and its city city with the individual itself, must be clear and rich

09 Market Square

2016 Polito, IT.

The project in Piazza Barceliona starts with the analsis of the place, this means that it was important to see how people lived this piazza. It was discovered that most people didn’t stay and enjoyed the place; instead they crossed trom one corner to another, that’s from where we got the concept.

One of the main problems to face was the existing difference on the street levels since it has a pronounced slope that rises more than four meters.

To take it as an advantage, it was divided the space in two big flat areas. This helped to divide the architectural program into the market and the recreational space-piazza.

It was design a stair system that provides the access to the project from any place in the perimeter; each step matches the slope of the street. These stairs are also present inside the project so the user can access from one big area to the other.
