BEYOND DOMESTICITY

master thesis, 2022 - 2023

The thesis investigates the condition of the single-family house in the context of Milanese diffuse city. Due to demographic changes, a complex family geography, and the magnetism of living in the city, the single-family house is today an unsustainable and obsolete heritage. The thesis explores possible scenarios by building an imaginary project that focuses on the becoming of the house, and with incremental logic involves settlements and the territory. Adding and subtracting, multiplying functions, breaking down fences, and redefining what is public and private are the tools of a creative manipulation of the domestic domain.

Located in industrial neighbourhood north

is transformed into a cultural center, with office spaces and a new kindergarten. The projects reflects on the industrial heritage as occasion to new uses and new users. Pre-existent buildings are reused and hardly any demolition is planned. At the same time, the dimension of the architectural artifact out of scale compared to the context, calls to actions of reduction, addition, and in some cases extensions in order to host peculiar functions, and to create courtyards between the spaces of the cultural center.

DOUBLE TOWER

workshop, 2022

tutor: Giancarlo Floridi group work with A. Bandini, A. Sereni

In the context of a new city, architecture as an accumulative activity resonates to the myriad of images that have been created in other places and times. To operate in continuity with the city’s existing characteristics refers to the idea of pre-esistenze ambientali from Rogers. The workshop aims to isolate fragments both in Milan and in the new planning in Sesto and reunite them at the urban scale to produce complex relationships. The proposal investigates the collective dimension of the building in defining urban quality. The residential towers are shaped by its collective urban spaces that act as indoor urban rooms: the arcades, the elevated courtyard, the terraces, the loggias.
