GIOVANNIBATTISTA SALERNO ARCHITECT
ABOUT ME 02-04-1994 Italy giovannib.salerno@gmail.com
I am a young motivated architect, I love details, and I am very focused and prepared in structural typologies, materials, and architectural technology. I consider myself a very curious person, able to learn very quickly everything I find interesting or helpful, whatever it is a software or a new language. I am also very handy and expert with manual tools, I like to craft objects, cook, and read about ideas.

TULOR MUSEUM
AWARDS: RENZO PIANO WORLD TOUR 2020 - SECOND PLACE Year: 2018 An experiment with un-reinforced concrete. This project represents the final chapter of my experience in Chile and of my entire academic career. Therefore, it stems from the interests developed during these years and especially from two: the one in the construction techniques and the one in the relation between architecture and nature. The idea was to use the un-reinforced concrete, thus respecting its structural properties of artificial stone and recovering its historical use to improve the final quality of the work. In this regard, the project combines the natural factor – relation man-desert – with the constructive factor – unreinforced concrete – to offer a coherent response to the initial goals. The chosen project subject represents an historical antecedent where it can be found the perfect combination of the two factors: Tulor, a pre-Columbian village near San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, built around the 5th c. BC by the natives that inhabited this inhospitable desert from more than eleven thousands years, developing strategies to survive.

The concept of the project has been, essentially, the materialization of the idea of relation with the landscape that I wanted to establish. The territory where the project is located is characterized by an horizontal component – the Salar de Atacama – and a vertical component – the Licancabur volcano – with a strong tension between the two. From a compositive point of view, it was thought to reflect this peculiarity of the landscape by using a line parallel to the ground - symbol of symbiosis and continuity with the environment - and a vertical line, symbol of separation and detachment from the surrounding scene. The horizontal element, an hostel for the tourists reception, hides itself in the sand like a paper sheet and closes itself towards its interior, creating an introverted space protected from the heat of the desert. By the contrary, the vertical element, the tower to access to the museum, rises in the horizon and draws attention: a new landmark is born without competing with the Licancabur, but defining itself as a point of reference where a path through the local history can begin. The whole museum, excepting the prism, develops itself organically underground, to deeply express the theme of immersion in an ancient unknown dimension, that is still almost completely buried in sand. The user has to go down and begin a complex path through memory, characterized by unexpected curved forms, and, at the end of it, to get outside to face Tulor.

PAESAGGI SOSPESI
Year: 2017
With: Costanza Lupia
A skyscraper at the gate of Venice. The aim of the project was to create a new gate for Venice, joining two empty areas divided by the only road to Venice. The idea was to project a bridge-station, connecting these two spaces, and a new hub formed by two towers and underground cultural spaces hidden in the park. Since getting to Venice by car has always been a big issue, the problem was solved by adding a big parking lot and promoting public service thanks to the new station. The theme of the connection is declined both in the masterplan and in the towers project: the buildings are connected by five panoramic public terraces. The residences are studied to meet every kind of needs: there are different types of houses, from studio apartments to duplex. The purpose was not to create soul-less open spaces, but real homes with small private terraces and privacy. They can be all divided and modified if needed. There are also five co-housing floors: all the public spaces like kitchens and living rooms are located in the first two floors. The smallest of the two towers contains offices, co-working spaces and an hotel with a big spa and a swimming pool located in one of the terraces.

THE MULTI SYSTEM One of the challenges of the project was the use of the MULTI system, the new rope-less elevator developed by Thyssenkrupp. This new technology allows the cabin to move also horizontally, creating a ring with many cabins in the same space of a single traditional elevator. In June 2017 our project was presented during the MULTI launch event in Rottweil, Germany.

THE STRUCTURE All the parts of the towers are projected with dry construction systems entirely prefabricated. This choice has been made to respond to a specific question: the life cycle assessment. In fact this system allows to re-convert the functionality of the building once his spaces becomes obsolete. Furthermore, instead of be destructed at the end of his life, the entire building can be dismantled piece by piece and recycled. We also calculate the embodied energy and the embodied carbon of the components, comparing our choices with the other possible technologies.

THE APARTMENTS The South tower has nineteen residential stories with different types of apartments. In the ‘tail’ of the buildings the apartments are studied to be used also as atelier. In fact they are all arranged to have a public part with independent entrance. The atelier are reachable by the panoramic elevator that join the terraces and all the public functions of the towers.

AGUILO + PEDRAZA ARQUITECTOS
Year: 2018 Internship. During my internship in Aguilo+Pedraza Arquitectos I got in touch with the Chilean architecture, characterized by a keen eye for context, nature and materials. In particular, this experience allowed me to discover and learn about wooden buildings. My work was mainly focused on a project already at the stage of developed design: a vacation house in the south region of Araucania. I worked in detail design of both structural and finishing elements and I collaborated in the resolution of structural issues cooperating with the architects and the structural engineer. I was in charge of the drafting of the construction drawings - both general and of details - and of the quantifications of materials and elements for the pre-construction cost estimate. My tasks included furniture, bathrooms and kitchens design for this and other buildings.

IUAV PAVILION
IUAV OPEN DAY PAVILION CONTEST - SECOND PLACE Year: 2017
With: Costanza Lupia
For the 2018 Open Day, Iuav decided to offer a challenge to his students: design a pavilion for the event using only FRP materials. The fibre reinforced polymers are still low used and known in Italy, due to this the Iuav, with the manufacturing firm TopGlass, promoted this new technology through its most important event. The purposes of the project were to design a pavilion integrated in the monumental context and easily to assemble and disassemble. We chose a skeleton gothic structure, made by thirteen trapezoidal portals.

RURART
Building something. The Italian university courses are mostly theoretical and the lack of practical experience is a huge problem for the students, since they can’t imagine what it means building what’s in their minds. Working in a building site is one of the most important part of my personal experience because it finally made me understand how difficult and slow is the process of actually building. The architect in charge decided to involve students and worker to transform his architectural and restoration project in a didactic project and give to a lot of people the chance to advise him and learn. All the participants work on every aspects of the building: from the foundation to the roof, studying all the structural aspects and, most importantly, doing it. For the first time I found out the weight of a beam, the touch of a brick, the smell of concrete, the reality of architecture.

PIETRA
Concrete cozy. Pietra is a radiator developed for the Design Warm Contest, which aim was re-design the concept of heaters. My choice was to use de concrete, in order to create an object with high performance and suitable for all the spaces of a home. This material, one of the less expensive in market, is easily workable and allows to obtain different surfaces and colours and, most important, has an high thermal inertia. The project’s purposes were to reach energy efficiency, an easy production and installation.
