FIVE DOTS: REDESIGN OF THE TREVISO JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER INTERIORS

Location: Juvenile Detention Center, Treviso, Italy

Programme: Corridors; Cells; Courtyard

Type:

Supervisor: P. Giardiello

Master Thesis

The goal of this thesis is the design of new social spaces within the Istituto Minorile di Treviso.

The intention is to increase the treatment spaces and socializing, making them accessible to prisoners during the daytime hours.

The reasons which pushed me to addressing this theme concerns the afflictive and disabling spaces imprisonment, which in some cases do not ensure respect for the dignity of the person.

The absence of places for sociability, or to cultivate emotional bonds with their loved ones, rises the gap between the inmates and the external community.

It is therefore necessary to work on the detention spaces, ensuring living conditions in accordance with the Italian Constitution.

I believe that this architecture can actually give a form to this need, so that even if people are imprisoned within a detention area, they could be able to open up and to dialogue the external society.

WAKING UP THE SLEEPING GIANT: “INTERIOR LANDSCAPES”

Location: Ex Ospedale Militare, Naples, Italy

Programme: Park; Playground: Square

Type:

Supervisor: P. Giardiello

Workshop

The goal is to redefine the free areas of the ex-Military Hospital complex that present themselves as big “courts” in a serious state of neglect. The idea was to consider these places inside the structure as “domestic” spaces open to the city: so as to link the historic center with Castel S.Elmo and the Monumental Complex of San Martino; three different areas can be dedicated to different functions a new use of the building could offer to the citizens sociability and meeting intended places. The project seems to follow what Le Corbusier said about the relationship

between architecture and landscape: “Le dehor est toutjour un dedan” (“the exterior is always an interior“). As it is typical in architecture seen from within, the project of these shared places is based on the awareness of being a continuous process of transformation, during which the theoretical models are mediated with the ability to interpret the pre-existence, which nurtures hypotheses immediately given in their consistency and aimed at prefiguring available spaces to be inhabited according to a perspective that includes subjectivity. \

DIE MOBILE IMMOBILIE

Location: Weimar, Germany

Programme: Mobile house

Type:

Supervisor: R. Gumpp

Academic project

The professorship E+TWK is dedicated to a structural task in the scale 1: 1. The project is all about the flexible detail, which can create different architectural states through intelligent adjustment mechanisms. The user is a landscape painter: the long-term engagement with the surrounding nature is an important basis of his work. The goal is to design a mobile studio, in order to give the painter the possibility of a long - term stay in one place. This is based on a roadworthy frame, as well as for construction or circus wagons coming to the stake. Using an intelligent mechanisms, the original transport volume can benĂŹ enlarged by at least 50 percent. In addition, a cooking and slee-

ping area must be provided. The design consists of two cubes, that can be divided with a sophisticated telescopic rail technology.

Between the two cubes, which are identical in construction and coated in phenolic resin-coated panels, a 2.25 m wide room is created, and it is dedicated to plain-air painting. The membrane roof, which is stretched by the movement of the cubes in opposite directions, prevents from being exposed to any rain. The view is here ensured by the parabolic openings. The interior design is kept as minimal as possible. The interior space contains corrugated cardboard furnishings.There is a storage space for painting utensils, food and clothing.

BERLIN - CITY WEST: “CHESS BLOCK�

Location: West Berlin, Germany

Programme: Urban district with private and public green areas

Type:

Supervisor: H. B. Malfatti

Academic project

The first step for the realization of the project is the analysis of the context: the city of West Berlin, in particular the area around Zoologischer Garten station; here it was established the existence of two main areas, namely: The city and the green (Charlottenburg and Tiargarten).

The idea is to redesign the project area through a chessboard capable of connecting green and cities: the black and the white represent the built and free areas. Applying the concept, the existing buildings were considered as part of the blacks chess and

imagining the remaining ones were created two different types of green (public and private) and new connections (Even the water becomes part of the concept, as a chess).

The type chosen for the buildings allows to links together various functions such as laboratories for the university, student dormitories, offices and commercial activities. The southern zone has a density and height of buildings greater than the northern one, given its position closer to the city. For the opposite reason, the project in the northern zone contains a greater number of public green areas.

“MARIO LODI” PRIMARY SCHOOL IN MATELICA

Location: Matelica, Italy

Programme: Primary school

Type:

Competition

Author:

Client:

Città di Matelica

Dimension: 9058 mq

Due to its compositional and pedagogical choice, the project renounces a compact, stereometric building, for a more articulated system, full of visual and perceptive stimuli.

Its formal variant wants to be characterized as an exception in a repetitive context without elements of order and hierarchy to define itself as a reference point for a small community. The three cylinders in the woods also want to evoke a slightly magical, almost fairytale suggestion for children.

Even the circular shape is not accidental but wants to invoke the idea of culture open to differences, tolerant of diversity, to observe reality from multiple points of view.

SAG A srls

The three cylinders, 2 of which are intended for educational activities, and one for the gym and administration, are disengaged from a square-shaped atrium from which three glazed corridors branch off.

The two school buildings are characterized by a large central triple-height space where there is a large ramp, a place of connection between the various floors. In this school there are no stairs, there are no obstacles: all spaces are free or usable for everyone equally.

“TRIBUNALE” AND “POGGIOREALE” METRO STATION SQUARES IN NAPOLI

Location: Naples, Italy

Programme: Primary school

Type:

Executive design

Client:

Comune di Napoli

Dimension: 9058 mq

“Tribunale”

In the urban redevelopment plan that is involving the entire eastern part of the city, the station proposes a rigorous and essential design for the external structure, composed of modular elements. The roof made up of lenticular pavilions rests on the main facade of a large porch.

The use of essential materials, such as marble, glass, and corten steel, follows a rigorous functional approach. The aim of equipping the current urban development with infrastructures is part of the vast urban reorganization plan of the Poggioreale-Gianturco district.

“Poggioreale”

SAG A srls; Mario Botta Architetti

The project uses the old customs barrier by Stefano Gasse as an entrance to the station and transforms the pre-existing hemicycle into an arcade open to the transit and the pedestrian spaces behind it, highlighting the entrance to the monumental cemetery of Poggioreale, opposite.

A skylight will be built in front of the building which will allow light to penetrate the floors below while in the evening the lighting coming from inside becomes the characterizing element of a redeveloped public space connected to the surface tramway network.

“MARIO LODI” PRIMARY SCHOOL IN MATELICA

Location: Napoli, Italy

Programme: Public Park

Type:

Preliminary design

Author:

Client:

Comune di Napoli

Dimension: 60900 mq

A park for the city, destined to connect the two new squares of the “Tribunale” and “Poggioreale” stations of the Naples Metro Linea 1.

The central area of the park houses sports and recreational equipment generated by the position of the pillars of the viaduct above.

The longitudinal direction is the cycle/pedestrian path, which runs through the park and connects the 2 metro stations, becoming in some places a bridge, in others an underpass.

The transverse directions are the concrete paths, which mark the rhythm of the project, identifying different areas by type of vegetation and activity.

SAG A srls

The landscape structure of the park accompanies the user along the route, creating diversification in the vegetation belts in a succession of texture changes, with low lawns, tall and flowery lawns, and medium-high shrubs and trees at the edges. The tree species chosen are among those used in the parks of the city of Naples and have been chosen for their resistance to summer and winter temperatures and atmospheric pollution since they are urban parks.

The shrubby and herbaceous species which are also for the most part indigenous and belonging to the Mediterranean maquis have been chosen partly for rusticity, reducing the maintenance load and partly for the ornamental and ecological characteristics,.specific to each species.
