Rediscover the Medicean canal in Florence. The redevelopment of the Fosso Macinante and its mills

Florence, San Mauro, Italy.

2022

This work compares the antique glory of the canal with today’s reality, which is characterized with deterioration and abbandonment.

The Canale Macinante, also called Fosso Bandito has a big historic value, it’s a part of the Florence historical heritage, and it’s included in the florentine medicean works.

The territory where the canal is located is very vast, dynamic, and articulated; it includes several municipalitis in addition to the Florentine one. Designing in that area is very stimulating and it has to consider a lot of territorial and hydrographic factors.

In addition to these, problems concercing the four mills also emerge: della Porticciola, del Barco, del Petriolo and of San Moro; which in the majority were abbandoned or reconverted to other uses.

SELECTED WORKS

NEW GREEN SPACE IN PETRIOLO AREA

RESTORATION OF THE PESCAIA DI SANTA ROSA

THE NEW PARAPET THE EXTRUSION OF THE PLAN

Considering the strategic position of the Fosso Macinante and his historical heritage, the target of my work is to the design a multifunctional project where the “spine” is the canal, while the “vertebrae” are the zones of the mills. I also aim to create a cycle and a pedestrian path which will be side by side to the ditch from Florence to Signa, restore the remaing parts of the mills and of the areas where they are, with the possibility to give these sites new public functions.

In the center of this project there is the theme of the water, which is more and more important in the modern cities.

The redevelopment of the Medicean path of the Canale Macinante its a direction of the reconnection between the city and its surroundings. It’s very important because it will give the chance to proceed to a bigger requalification of the suburbs of Florence, raising the quality of life of people who live there. My work is a stimulus towards the growth of the city’s attractiveness thanks to the intrinsic and essential relationship between man, nature, and architecture.

2021 The project takes into account the original, essential building designed by Schinkel. From the measure of spatial scanning and from the material contribution in clamping vertical and horizontal elements that the Bauakademie carried out thanks to a perfect match between structure and language, this project embraces despite its diversity - the totality of its components. Apparently muted with floors lacking of architectural elements, only excavated by a full-height niche in order to mark the entrance to the building, the perfect matt solid - albeit permeable to light - reveals a connection with the concept of limits. These limits are the ones Bauakademie showed in the relationship between interior spaces and the Berlin’s surrounding areas, aimed at developing a network of exposure and vision on a double register.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITION

UNDERGROUND FLOOR

space: 1125 m2

In this project the underground floor is assign for temporary exhibitions. Thanks to his permeability it gives the possibility to arrange every kind of exhibitions. Furthemore the partition walls represent in the scheme can be change or remove, with the possibility to have a big open space.

EXHIBITION EXHIBITION

With In the daylight, the building looks like a pure,compact solid with some small reflections onits surface which slightly unveil an articulated,although neat, composition of interior spaces. With the darkness, the building becomes a lantern and inverts the perspective working on the above mentioned concept of limits. At this point, the building reveals its interior to the city and becomes symbol and manifesto of its public function, without failing - with doubtful transparency - in its content, but especially by suggesting to outside spectators that they needto think of an idea for an interior living space.

The project builds its environments following the idea of a gradual exhibition where the element of the central court holds the vertical distribution and a lighting contribution.

NEUE BAUKADEMIE - NIGHT VIEW

New pavillon for the library of the University of Florence. A space for temporary and permanent exhibitions.

Florence, Italy.

2021 This project focuses on the design of a new temporary pavillon connected to the library of architecture of the University of Florence. The new space is divided in two parts: the first one for the exhibitions, the second for a new study area and an outdoor terrace. On the outside, the building present a series of vertical spruce wood strips that follow and emphasize the rhythm of the interior structure. Inside, the building is organized to continue with the path which starts from the outside: in the part dedicated to exhibitions the walls remains closed and there are only skylights which gives light to the space, meanwhile in the study area there are windows positioned between the wood strips. Thanks to them the students have a comfortable space thanks to the lighting and a interesting view on the historical garden and the building of the library.

SELECTED WORKS

The structure of the building is organised like a frame with wood pillars and wood beams. At a certain point the walls disapear and the vertical and horizontal elements create an outdoor pergola with a terrace. This one frame the antique statues present in the garden. The rhytm of the building is due to the wood vertical elements which in the part of the building are every one meter, meanwhile in the terrace every two meters.

Cascina Pinucci

The restoration of the building inside the ancient walls of Lastra a Signa Lastra a Signa, Italy.

2021

This intervention is focused on the restoration of the building of Cascina Pinucci which is located inside the ancient walls of Lastra a Signa. The renovation inolves the exteriors and the interiors of the building

Outside it’s expected an olive garden on the south part of the park and vegetable gardens for common use on the east.

Inside the Cascina it will be inserted a new structure in corten steel that will permit to give to the building new functions.

Furthemore thanks to the new support it will be possible to use all the spaces inside the building, now inacessible.

The renovation will allow to design a space that will connect different generations thanks to the new workshop area and the new green zones. Inside the builiding it’s expected also the museum of Lastra a Signa which is not present in the city right now. The building will become the manifesto of the city, very famous for various types of crafstmanships.

The design of a new Yacht Italian Design Institute.

2023

This work is focused on the design of a new boat, to understand how to model a boat from the beginning. I decided to design a boat with a hard-top of less than 65 foot. The style i wanted to follow was the organic design, my personal target was to use curvy and smoothy lines.

One of the most important ispiration were based on the shapes of the Ferrari PuroSangue and on the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, especially on the Guggenhaim Museum based in New York.

Project work. Italian Design of Istitute. Re-styke of the Tecnema 80 Italian Design Institute.

2023

The project work of the master was to re-style the yacht Tecnema 80, which is a boat of 78 ft. The points to follow during this project were to design the hard-top and to re-design the interiors of the main deck and of the upper-deck. I focused on the creation of a cosy environment using natural materials like: wicker, wood, stone and leather. Furthermore I wanted to relay to the style of the “italian dolce vita” with the choise of the furniture and of the lighting.
