Estimated project cost: EUR 80 million

Project phase: Schematic Design, Design Development

Design scope: Residential project, architectural design, façade design, interior design of common areas, landscape design

Personal role: BIM coordinator with active role in managing the team and in the design definition

This project involved the architectural development of three residential plots, including 12 residential buildings, 3 underground parking structures, and 3 landscaped urban spaces, in addition to the urban design of a metro plaza. The total built-up area above ground amounted to approximately 150,000 sqm.

The project was developed in BIM from the earliest conceptual volumetric test of the schematic design phase, leveraging the software’s capabilities for precision, coordination, and automation.

From the outset, I held the role of BIM Coordinator, responsible for setting up and managing the project’s BIM framework. My tasks included the initial configuration of URS models, coordination of discipline-specific models, establishment of modeling standards, shared parameters, and structured Excel-based coordination tools. I also led the development and validation of custom Revit families to ensure consistency and efficiency in project workflows. In this role, I managed a team of eight professionals, four internal team members and four external collaborators, by providing structured guidelines, workflow documentation, and ongoing technical support. My responsibilities included ensuring seamless coordination across the different disciplines involved and maintaining alignment throughout project development.

Development of BIM models from the earliest stages of design definition. Use of design options and massing tools to explore and assess early-stage design alternatives while maintaining precise tracking of areas and quantities. Use of highly parametric custom families to quickly explore design alternatives.

Establishment of dedicated area plans to calculate efficiency parameters such as Gross Building Area (GBA), Net Internal Area (NIA), and Total Area (TA). Integration of these efficiency calculations with Excel workflows for continuous monitoring and optimization.

An URBAN PROMENADE for BERLIN

First prize in the Berlin MuseumInsel Competition, in the Itinerant Master’s Degree Program in Architecture Archaeology and Museum Design

Hosted by David Chipperfield Architects Berlin

Group project - together with Davide Avesani, Maddalena Felis, Andrea Foscaro, Duccio Prassoli, Alessandro Spreafico

Software used: Rhinoceros, Illustrator, Enscape, Photoshop

The competition was focused on the urban aspects of the Museum Island of Berlin. The projects aim to solve in particular two problems in the area. On one hand, the need to connect the new Berlin Castle to the existing Archaeological Promenade, an underground passage connecting all the historical museums on the island, designed by the Chipperfield studio after the original Schinkel project. On the other hand, the necessity to cross the busy road that right now splits in two the Museum Island. This is achieved by creating an Urban Promenade, direct continuation of the archaeological one, connecting on the water level the new museum.

The promenade is marked by 3 pavilions, which indicate the path but at the same time mark on the promenade the alignment with the main building on the island level. The pavilions stand as light, ethereal structures, as opposed to the strong massiveness of the path connecting them, creating a strong sign to invite the people towards entering the new castle. The promenade becomes a place for the city, restoring the island’s cohesiveness and uniqueness.

The design proposal for the Roman Theatre of Trieste originated from a felt need for an intervention that would fill the gap that had been created over time between this urban ruin and the city. The project has therefore the aim of making the theatre a vibrant space that the citizens, but more importantly a space to be experienced in its awareness, through different levels of approach and understanding, and not with a distracted and passive observation as it is today.

The project mainly consists of a volume acting as a sign, protecting the autonomy of the Theatre but also inviting passers-by to go and actively rediscover the theatre. In there is hosted a museum section, to enhance the specificity of the theatre’s history in its own place. The theatre is also reconstituted as a real urban hinge between the two levels of the city, allowing a public passage around and through it. It is also equally important an effective reactivation of the ruins as a theatre itself, recreating an optimal space for performances.

From a forgotten and ignored element, the theatre recovers its own dimension of value, which lies both in its reactivation as a place for the city and in the enhancement of its remains as evidence of a long and complex past.
