URBAN REGENERATION OF SAN ROCCO A PILLI

HOME-STUDIO FOR ARTIST

Course: Design Studio I

Location: Via Senese, FI

The project consists of an artist’s house that also includes a studio attached to the complex. The site of the project is in Florence, and it sits in a very particular context containing a very diversified urban fabric. Studying the surroundings, I concentrated on a monastic complex close to the location of the project: the Certosa di Ema. In the design I have underlined many characteristics of the monastery communicating them with a modern language. The plan is closed to the outside but open to the inside allowing a view towards Florence and at the same time the surrounding nature. The complex is characterised by three buildings that maintain interaction and a mutual hierarchy, both in plan and in section. The building with larger dimensions is the actual house and consists of two floors, the central building is the study (with a better view of the surrounding) consisting not only of an above-ground floor but also a basement, for storage. The smaller building is instead a structure consisting only of a roof, completely open in the elevation towards the inner courtyard.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTRE

Course: Design Studio

Location: Lago di Porta, Pietrasanta, IT

The project is located within a Nature Reserve, near the fiume Versilia and Lago di Porta, close to the city of Pietrasanta (IT). Because of the context, an environmental education center is the proposed function of the project,which includes a small exhibition space, class rooms in which workshops are organised and a larger building that contains a restaurant and guesthouse, including a small house for the care taker.

The concept scheme shows a pavilion complex consisting of 3 buildings that follow a clear line except for an L-shaped building that protrudes towards the river and ensures a view of the surrounding nature from two sides.

Within each building, a central corridor separates the public functions (which face towards the river allowing an optimal view) from the services (located on the opposite side). The different uses are also underlined by the different heights of the spaces, where windows are positioned for an optimal natural illumination of the corridors. In the case of the guesthouse, this architectural scheme is inverted to allow more privacy for the visitors.

THEATRE OF SAGUNTO, GIORGIO GRASSI

Course: Design Studio

Analysis of the Theatre of Sagunto, Giorgio Grassi, Sagunto, Spagna

The study case of Theater of Sagunto is a really important project that underlines a different approach to restauration. Giorgio Grassi restored the theatre with the meaning of bring it to new life; with this purpose he decide to not rebuild the theater as it was at the roman period, but using the same “prototipe” he covered the existing, now roots of a new fluorescing society.

Physical model that underlines the relationship of Grassi’s intervention (in cardboard), and the pre-existence, in darker color (cardboard coloured with liquid and powdered coffee).

CAMPO DI BRENZONE

a ghost village overlooking Lake Como

Course: Design Studio

Location: Campo Di Brenzone, Lombardy, Italy

Campo di Brenzone is a little village in the mountains, near Lago di Como. It is small and, together with a lot of isolated villages, in the last century it has been characterized by the migration of all it’s inhabitants towards more populated environments. These villages have the memory of many hundreds of years on their shoulders but the story of the “ghost villages” is slowly vanishing away with his people. Today all that remains is empty buildings that are slowly collapsing to the ground but still carry the memory of what they were: homes. The main interventions were made on the most ancient and large building, that was also the most damaged, situated in the center of the village, that in the past represented the “first stone”, the castle of the Vassallo, owner of the surrounding land. The architectural guideline is the total respect of the existent; all the new interventions have to be visible and not invasive. The damaged walls have been completed and the, nowadays, not existing roofs have been redesigned. The rooms have been treated as shells made of solid memory that need to be filled with the present and future; all the proposed installations are located inside of the walls with a visibly different material: corten, to underline once more the relationship and the difference between the solid past over which a more fragile and necessarily different present is created. The central walls of the building have been treated as the spine of the project, where all the connections are created, leaving open view from the rooms to the exterior.

ROWING CLUB ARNO, PISA

Course: Restoration Studio

Location: Pisa, IT

The project consists in the restoration of the “Circolo Canotteri Arno”, a rationalist epoc building on the east bank of the river at the edge of the old town. The building in its current state presents several maintenance problems but is considered an architectural asset, reflecting the Italian rationalist era: in particular it contains features such as the pilotis on the river side and a propeller staircase. The project involves a study of the present degradation and proposed restoration of the building without modification of the existing exterior, while a change of use and functional units in the interior. The designated use is that of the municipal library. All the interventions have been made by removing the existing non structural internal masonry and adding partitions mainly created with design furniture.

LIGHT

DESIGN, 3 in 1

Course: Digital Fabrication, UNITEC

The principle on which the design of this lamp is based is versatility.

I tried to create a single design object that could be assembled in 3 different ways in order to satisfy all the different lighting requirements: a pendant light, a wall light and a table light.

The different elements fit together in a very simple way, without the need for adhesive materials, so you can customise the shape whenever necessary.

The design is versatile and flexible able to be configured according to the users taste, allowing them to actively engage with the design, generating different lighting effects.

LÉNÉAI - TEN

Development of a coffee processing complex

Graduation Thesis: 100L/100L

Location: Tanna, Vanuatu

Tanna is an island located in Oceania in the archipelago of Vanuatu. Life is still organised around sacred spaces (Yimwayim) generated in the “time of dreams” connected by a complex system of roads (Sautuk). Sautuk represent the physical pathways, but also describes the alliances that have long been established between tribes. Geography reflects society.

In traditional Tannese lore, man is compared to a banyan tree, with its roots deep in the sacred earth. If a tree leaves the soil it dies. In the same way a man that leaves his homeland loses his magical powers and political rights. Earth, stillness and rootedness are masculine domains. Woman instead is identified with a bird: she does not have roots, she has wings; her roots are in the wind; they are associated with movement and the freedom of wander.

In Tannese culture, man and woman are two faces of the same coin, different but fundamental one to the other, just as the sky and earth are parts of the same entity. Over the years, this relationship of mutual existence has been compromised to the detriment of women. A mechanism of moral and economic dependence has been triggered. There is the persistent non – recognition of women’s work as work.

The architectural complex develops, as its main function, the processing of coffee “from bean to cup”, adding an important production step that could further positively influence the island’s economy, giving the local population, particularly women, new work and employment opportunities.

The other facilities in the complex will strengthen the neonatal and health services that are currently lacking on the island.

Seeking to bring the sky, “lènèai”, back to earth, “ten”.

THE SMALL CITY

Studies, hypotheses and models of Architectural and Urban compsition on Rosignano Solvay

Research project at Florence University, Architecture department

Coordinator: Prof. Francesco Collotti

Collaboration: Chiara Simoncini

Location: Rosignano Solvay, LI

The research project consists in the regeneration of the urban area of Rosignano Solvay. Born as a garden-city serving the Solvay industry, over the years its layout has been distorted through uncontrolled construction aimed at covering population growth in the summer season (almost three times that of winter).

When you walk around the city, starting from the ‘waterfront’, one notices how the city has completely turned its back to the sea, that is rarely visible from the ‘promenade’; If you continue walking one arrives at the squares and public areas made unliveable due to uncontrolled parking and poor shading vegetation.

The aim of the project is to think of small interventions in both the public and private spheres in order to restore order to the urban layout with the desire of finally looking to the sea.

In the ‘Manual of Interventions’ the main planned interventions are summarised, with the identification of the individual site and the main features (hereafter some of the completed examples).

Like a promenade, it starts from the seafront, with the total renovation of the bathing establishments so as to create greater lightness and the possibility of looking at the horizon of the sea at any time; up to the revaluation of the public areas and finally the identification of possible condominium or private interventions at the citizen’s discretion.

Guidelines for the urban regeneration of San Rocco a Pilli

Research project at Florence University, Architecture department

Coordinator: Prof. Francesco Collotti

Collaboration: Chiara Simoncini

Location: San Rocco a Pilli, SI

In the urban regeneration project for San Rocco a Pilli, the main objective was to connect three public areas that had previously been disconnected and poorly accessible to the population. This connection was made possible through a system of interconnected spaces, with a key element being a permeable and flexible portico. The portico, which extends from Piazza della Repubblica, creates a connection between the different areas, exploiting the difference in height between the square in front of the Filarmonica building and Piazza Rutilio Manetti. This first portico, with wooden and corten steel pillars, provides a shaded area with seating facing the square. This portico connects the first system of two squares to the central building and finally to the third square. Piazza degli Alunni, characterised by its unusual shape, contains a portico in front of the modern building, and a large tree finally define this square.

Paving plays an important role in the design, with the use of two different colours to indicate different functions and create a colour pattern. This choice not only contributes to the visual identity of the area but also helps guide people through the spaces according to their colour, enhancing the users’ experience of the urban environment.
