ACADEMIC PROJECT:

Training at the Politecnico di Milano has undoubtedly contributed to the in-depth study of some specific issues. The strong contextualization of the project: conceptual, material, symbolic or compositional as it was, represented the entire course of study homogeneously.

The extent of the projects, all of modest size, represent only the first attempts, academic precisely to address deeply interesting themes and often of socio-cultural value, carefully analyzing customs, traditions and forms of the place, reinterpreting them to respond creatively , intelligent and specific to current issues.

The intention matured is to carry on these concepts, which are necessary and unchanging to develop a contextualized architecture using local experiences as a starting point.

La formazione al Politecnico di Milano ha contribuito senza ombra di dubbio all’approfondimento di alcuni temi specifici. La forte contestualizzazione del progetto: concettuale, materica, simbolica o compositiva che fosse ha rappresentato omogeneamente tutto il percorso di studi.

L’entità dei progetti, tutti di modesta grandezza rappresentano solo i primi tentativi, accademici per l’appunto di affrontare temi profondamente interessanti e di spesso valore socio/culturale, analizzando con attenzione usanze, tradizioni e forme del luogo reinterpretandole per rispondere in maniera creativa, intelligiente e specifica a questioni attuali.

L’intenzione maturata è di portare avanti questi concetti, necesari e immutevoli per sviluppare un’architettura contestualizzata sfruttando come punto di partenza le esperienze locali.

The project theme called for the design of a private residence of about 100 square meters located in the Portofino Regional Park.

The project has its roots on the reinterpretation of the local settlement culture.The residence breaks down to create a small settlement that is articulated along a sinuous path that follows the slope and from which, thanks to the oriented attention modules, it is possible to appreciate glimpses with always di erent tensions.

Il tema di progetto chiedeva la progettazione di una residenza privata di circa 100mq coperti situata nel Parco Regionale di Portofino.

Il progetto fonda le sue radici sulla reinterpretazione della cultura insediativa locale.

La residenza si scompone a creare un piccolo insediamento che si articola lungo un sentiero sinuoso che segue il versante e dal quale, grazie ai moduli attentamenti orientati è possibile apprezzare scorci con tensioni sempre di erenti.

The Ligurian landscape is undoubtedly extremely characteristic, the urbanizations are of modest size and conform in order with the course of the place. The buildings are arranged following the orography of the territory, arranging themselves in a widespread manner or in line following parallel bands overlooking the sea. Overhanging roads and paths, narrow passages and glimpses are recurring elements that characterize the whole region.

The residence takes up these characteristics by traditionally grafting onto the slope with a terrace, the dry stone wall becomes reinforced concrete and the house itself breaks down, recreating a small village arranged in line on the slope.

The di erent angle of the modules creates a connecting path that compresses and expands, o ering ever di erent views of the sea and nature in several points.

Access to the residence takes place via a path which then becomes a staircase and leads to a first area potentially accessible to all, here a crack between the first module and the retaining wall allows a glimpse of the conformation of the settlement, however inhibiting access, which occurs through the only visible opening. The first module contains the only convivial space, which extends outside with a swimming pool and an underground table.

The rooms are arranged along the path and are configured as micro lodgings in which the landscape becomes an admirable background and picture.

RELATIONSHIP WITH RUIN Ascent installaion at the Roman theatre, Brescia

The remains of the ancient Vomitorium become the entrance to a dark gallery that leads to a glimmer of light. After walking through the entrance, the visitor is naturally attracted to turn to the sky, discovering the ascent that he will soon take.

On the upper level, a pre-existing historical wall generates the torch that leads to the elevator and conveys the light to the lower level.

I resti dell’antico Vomitorium diventano l’ingresso ad una oscura galleria che conduce ad uno spiraglio di luce. Percorso l’ingresso il visitatore viene attratto naturalmente a rivolgersi al cielo scoprendo l’ascesa che da li a poco farà.

Al Livello superiore un muro storico presistente genera la fiaccola che conduce all’ascensore e che convoglia la luce fino al livello inferiore.

The challenge of creating a building in a rigid curtain goes hand in hand with the desire to generate a construction with a very low environmental impact, from the extraction of raw materials to the management of demolition waste. The result is a completely dry metal frame construction in which each component collaborates to create an austere facade which, however, conceals a deeply modular and dynamic building.

La sfida di creare un edificio in una rigida cortina a anca la volontà di generare una costruzione a bassissimo impatto ambientale, dall’estrazione delle materie prime fino alla gestione dei rifiuti della demolizione.

Ne deriva una costruzione in telaio metallico e completamente a secco in cui ogni componente collabora nel creare una facciata austera che però cela un edificio profondamente modulabile e dinamico.

The proposed apartments are developed to demonstrate the dynamism of the project; from the studios on the lower floors to the duplexes on the upper floors, the entire building can o er dynamism of its spaces by imposing the central rising core and the scanning of the pillars in the south and north mulch as the only unchangeable elements. The plant shafts find space in the interspaces between the walls in adherence between the project building and existing buildings, this solution allows for services arranged in di erent areas without interference plant columns between the rooms.

The entire construction takes place through dry assembly with a view to rapid construction and a strong consideration of the environmental impacts of the entire life cycle of the building: from the extraction of materials to their disposal. Even the balconies on the south facade are designed to be arranged and moved according to specific needs.

At the gates of the Brera district, an apparently foreign building makes curved lines its generating and characterizing element.

The gallery is configured as a monolithic, massive and introverted object in which the ground floor bends slightly to identify the entrance while the upper floor, thanks to the shape of the roof, can host exhibitions including pieces of very di erent sizes.

Alle porte del quartiere di Brera un edificio apparentemente estraneo fa delle linee curve il proprio elemento generatore e caratterizzante.

La galleria si configura come un oggetto monolitico, massivo e introverso in cui il piano terra si piega leggermente per identificare l’ingresso mentre il piano superiore, grazie alla conformazione del tetto può ospitare esposizioni comprendenti pezzi dalle di erentissime dimensioni.

The project assumes the reinterpretation and deformation of the city as a paradigm, without however interrupting its continuity. It looks at the element of the court as a generating fulcrum, without the need to mention how much it is the founding element of the Milanese settlements, evident from the first glance at the design of the typological developments in the settlements.

Supporting the uniqueness and needs of each single work, solving their needs through a single gesture, the roof, above the exhibition space, becomes a concave element, given by a spherical subtraction, in which areas of di erent heights and volumes are determined. in which a table by Tintoretto finds its space as much as a sculpture by Moor

The concepts around which the project comes to life, see an interpretation of the place as a manifest of mutation, transformation, sedimentation, a city that is defined in its own stratifications, permanence and polarity.

A city that sees the revival of settlement and typological arrangements, which in the di erent formal declinations constitute a legible fabric in their modifications and repetitions.

A contrast of solids and voids, compressions and dilations, which determines a rhythm, a constant cadence from the di erent oscillations that takes shape in the streets, squares, to continue in the courtyards, in intimacy. The project area in this sense is a discontinuity, an irregular interval in the urban morphology.

Architecture, more than a job, is a lifestyle, it becomes so intrinsic with one’s way of doing that the methodologies acquired are reflected on every occasion, from the most direct to the least probable.

The approach to the project opens up the possibility of seeing a problem with a completely di erent eye, it allows you to break it down, passing from a purely imaginary idea to a practical resolution, studied in view of a more or less long future. The architectural construction, what I consider successful knows no compromises, is a continuous feasibility study of what you want to achieve and with each change you will have to return to a previous point, which will have to be re-studied, and here is what it consists in the transposition of this methodology in the life of an architect, every problem will be approached in this way, where you will be led to face a problem at 360 degrees, in all its aspects.

I have always grown up with a passion for creating things, craftsmanship and construction have always accompanied me in my growth thanks to a grandfather and a father who have always preferred to do than to do and craftsmanship is my escape from chaos, a moment of peace and concentration.

IT

L’architettura più che un lavoro sia uno stile di vita, diventa così intrinseca con il proprio modo di fare che le metodologie acquisite si riperquotono in ogni occasione, dalle più dirette a quelle meno probabili.

L’approccio al progetto apre la possibilità di vedere un problema con un occhio completamente diverso, ti permette di scomporlo, passando da un’idea, puramente immaginaria ad una risoluzione pratica, studiata in vista di un futuro più o meno lungo. La costruzione architettonica, quella che considero di successo non conosce compromessi, è un continuo studio di fattibilità di quel che si vuole realizzare e ad ogni cambiamento si dovrà puntualmente ritornare ad un punto precedente, che dovrà essere ri-studiato, ed ecco, in cosa consiste la trasposizione di questa metodologia nella vita di un architetto, ogni problema sarà approcciato in questa maniera, dove si sarà portati ad a rontare un problema a 360 gradi, in tutti i suoi aspetti.

Sono da sempre cresciuto con la passione di creare cose, artigianato e costruzione mi hanno da sempre accompagnato nella crescita grazie a un nonno e un papà che hanno sempre preferito fare che far fare e l’artigianato costituisce una mia fuga dal caos, un momento di pace e di concentrazione.

A small change can completely change the perception and ability of the spaces we have always lived in. the intervention involved the modification of two openings that from standard windows become large sources of light. The usability of the room changes completely by transforming an opening into an access to the garden, allowing you to create a space that is extremely dialoguing with the outdoor space.

Un piccolo cambiamento può cambiare completamente la percezione e l’abilità degli spazi che da sempre abbiamo vissuto. l’intervento prevedeva lamodifica di due aperture che da finestre standard diventano grandi fonti di luce. L’usabilità del locale cambia completamente trasformando un’apertura in accesso al giardino, permettendo di creare uno spazio estremamente dialogante con lo spazio esterno.

The fate of a fallen branch in nature is to contribute and become part of a new life: part of a bird’s nest, fertilizer for the same tree from which it fell or a den for some animals.

The branch breaks down and reassembles itself into suspended sections by means of a thin brass branch. The tree becomes engineered, controlled, abstract into a useful object that illuminates by spreading the light like a candle.w

La sorte di un ramo caduto in natura è quella di contribuire e diventare parte di una nuova vita: parte di un nido d’uccello, concime per lo stesso albero da cui è caduto oppure tana per quache animale.

Il ramo di scompone e si ricompone in sezioni sospese tramite una sottile ramificazione in ottone. L’albero diventa ingegnerizzato, controllato, astratto in un oggetto utile che illumina di ondendo la luce come una candela.
