Giuseppe Massafra

Nice to meet you and welcome to my portfolio.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Giuseppe, I am 24 years old, and I graduated in Building Engineering-Architecture at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna.

I am very passionate about visual arts and graphic communication in several fields, but above all, in architecture.

Over the years, my interests have particularly focused on computational design.

ReLighting spaces

year / 2023 -24

type / thesis-research keywords / Reinfocement Learning - daylight

ReLighting spaces is my thesis research for the university of Bologna made in collaboration with Alessio Erioli as supervisior.

This research aims to enhance a combinatorial process for the generation of spatial assemblages with adaptive control over climate-related factors, such as daylight access, by means of Reinforcement Learning (RL).

Faza Engine

year / 2023

type / project

keywords / combinatorial design - systhems in architecture

Faza Engine is a residential/commercial space systhem based on a combinatorial approach. .

The entire project is made by 3 different modules combined into spatial assemblies according to predetermined conditions, defined by specific aggregation rules.

The goal is to reshape the speculative urban type of the neighborhood supermarket by integrating it into a modular system of urban-scale spaces.

Turtle Diamond

type / parametric facade

keywords / parametric design - computational design

Turtle Diamond is a project for a parametric facade.

The project goal was to design panels with varaible parameters linked both to the functional distribution of the building and the solar access of each panel.

year / 2021 type / house keywords / living in small spaces

Gin House is a project for a small residence located in Ginosa (Taranto, Puglia).

The project aims to maximize the limited available space to create a comfortable and functional home. It integrates elements of local architectural traditions with a contemporary approach, blending traditional design with modern sensibilities.

This project was developed as part of the “Architectural Composition I” course workshop at the University of Bologna.

Helical staircases

year / 2023

type / stairs

keywords / restoration - light design

These are two proposed intervention projects on the helical staircases of Palazzo Malvasia and Palazzo Isolani in Bologna.

In the restoration context, the survey and study of the structures were essential to proposing modifications from different perspectives, especially regarding the area’s lighting.

The projects were developed with a concept of restoration that is primarily critical and conservative.

A.P.Pò

year / 2022

type / public architecture

keywords / composition - nature - hospital

A.P.Pò is the project for a large parapsychiatric complex located on the banks of the Po River near the town of Gualtieri.

The idea behind the project is to create a place interconnected with the surrounding nature, capable of offering spaces for meditation and tranquility for both the guests of the facility and external visitors.
