ODI ET AMO Where: Type: Year:

Grotte di Catullo, Italy Archeological site / Interior architecture 2020

Description

The project is located in front of the Grottoes of Catullus, the roman villa in Sirmione, and it’s composed by a villa and a private thermal bath for an art collector, connected with a distribution corridor. The design of the project is following in a first approach the already existing axes dictated by the ruins, extending the construction to the lower level, without going to hide the ruins.

The title of the project is inspired by the incipit of one famous Carme of Catullo, “Odi et Amo”, because the project development is working with opposites, as the latin poet did.

One of the main characteristic of these buildings is the system of skylights, that is visible from the masterplan, designed to provide light to the spaces that are mainly looking to the north.

While the complex of the thermal bath is very linear and massive, the design of the villa plan is born from the fusion of two different concepts: the first one is the subdivision of the spaces through the existing axes in eight volumes, characterised by individual functions; the second one is more fluid and free and is creating circular spaces. The adoption of this concentric system allows the hierarchy of spaces, giving to each one a different character and a centre for the positioning of the sculptures.

The art collection declines the passage of time in different variations and it can be find as metaphysical, kinetic, classical and futuristic sculptures.

In the north elevation is visible the presence of the upper galleria, decentrated to create with the openings system a sense of dynamicity.

VILLA In a first approach the design bounds to the context of the ruins following the vertical axis coming from the northern part of the grid. In this way we could divide the villa in eight main volumes. One of the main problems was that the volumes needed to be connected with each other without creating a static and dark corridor.

To be more dynamic the approach blends with a contrasting language, both for what concern the shape and the quality of the space that was creating. Each of the volumes contains a function and the adoption of this concentric system allows to hierarchize the space and give to each one a different character.

THERMAE The thermae complex, partially hypogeum, follows an introverse approach in contrast with the nearby villa. The plan is characterized by a modular and free grid, that also go along with the scandition of the ruins grid. The main space reminds of the Roman court and it coincide with the biggest pool.

Due to this the main sources of light are designed in specific points of the roof and allows to illuminate the main thermale spaces . The water collection of the thermae complex is designed to direct the flows to the main pool, while for the villa a series of pools are spreaded to help the thermal insulation.

Watch the video!

Analysis of the flow in the entire project. In particular is evident how the flexibility of the spaces is influenced by the geometries of the Villa and Spa that are speaking two different languages.

PIRANESI PRIX DE ROME Where: Type: Year: Description

Hadrian’s Villa, Tivoli, Italy Archeological site / Masterplan level 2020

The archaeological heritage on Italian soil is in danger. It is necessary to act in time and with competence. The workshop took place in the extraordinary context of the monumental residence willed by the emperor Hadrian and constructed between 117 and 138 A.D. near the city of Tivoli.

The urban scale intervention integrates a new and exclusive entrance to the archaeological complex, indicated by a pavilion that overlooks the nearest provincial road and is able to attract the attention of tourists. Within the complex of the villa, after a careful and necessary analysis of the architectural language and composition of the architect’s genious, two pavilions have been inserted.

The pavilion A is positioned next to the old Antinoeion, of which we are only aware since 2003, evidence of how the complex is still partly to be discovered. This position once represented the noble entrance to the entire complex.

This pavilion reflects the proportions of the nearby temple and is divided symmetrically into spaces with a massive appearance that direct the focal cuts towards the pivotal points of the villa’s composition. The pyramidal volumes, reminiscent of Hadrian’s love for Egypt, are cut at the vertix to allow the light to enter from above. At the center of the pavilion is positioned a copy of the obelisk once existent in the Antinoeion.

The second pavilion is located at the highest point of the complex, facing the so called “Grand Therme”.

The logo is designed using the name of the site, Villa Adriana. The intention is for the V and A to be primary features of the branding of the site, whose development was required by the contest.

SCHAULAGER+HOUSING Where: Type: Year:

Milan, Lombardy, Italy Urban requalification / Cultural space + Residential 2021

Description

The project is located in the south of Milan, at the corner between Viale Toscana and Via Ripamonti, a straight street long almost six kilometers that connects the center of Milan to the border of the municipality.

The location is full of potentialities since it faces Porta Romana’s abandoned yard, a district that is interested in the new requalification masterplan developed through the “Scali Milano” consultation.

The intervent aims at identifying the reactions of the architecture objects to the already defined urban morphology.

It is composed by an ensemble of two different buildings: a linear residential complex facing Via Ripamonti and a Schaulager. The Schaulager is neither a museum, nor a traditional warehouse, but a new typology of space for art.

The composition of the plot is leaded by alignments, heights, setbacks and inner courtyards that defines three new public spaces. An other importan element that defines the project is the bordering rail track that creates a limit to the south elevation, but also allows to open up the space. Furthermore, the railway creates a difference in altitude that characterized the all design process through different levels.

The structure of the Schaulager is composed by a simple grid of 10 x 10 meters that supports the roof structure. This one is characterized by a coffered roof that hosts a green roof and allows to collecte the water in an underground water tank.

GRIDIENT Where: Type: Year:

Marinella goulf, Sardinia, Italy Masterplan level / Touristic attraction 2019

Description

The project is located in the gulf of Marinella, in the Emerald Coast and consists of several functions including an hotel , a train station, a golf field, a restaurant, an open cinema, a library, a gym and fourteen villas which are divided into three typologies depending on their location within the lot, but however defining different specific areas.

The territory, covering an area of 300,000 square meters, is largely coated by the “Mediterranean scrub”, typical bushy vegetation characteristic of the island. Thanks to an initial analysis of the context it was possible to use in the project the different materials that the island offered.

The access to the area is deliberately only pedestrian and the entrance, that takes place in the south of the area, coincides with the train station. This one was the initial concept of the project that allowed to give several functional opportunities to the frequenters of this complex, conceived not only as touristic. Among the main concept that characterize the whole project is the use of a squared mesh grid that, depending on the function and number of people who would have benefited from that area, could change from 3x3 meters to 12x12 meters, going in the end to define a sort of nuance that goes from the most anthropized part to that which instead remained very natural and organic.

24

Masterplan

The project is located beside the gulf of Marinella, a turistic area in the north Sardinia. It has a great position in terms of public transportation

The site is divided in several zones due to natural environment and needs. The public infrastructure gave the opportunity to design different public functions besides the residential buildings

The hotel is created in a 12x12 meters zone, as a result the structure grid is regular, but the organic path, that passes from the heart of the building in the ground floor, let people pass and go to the beach and the other zones.

A grid overlooking to the gulf is applied in different zones and its size changes gradually to be more gentle with nature

Different functions are connected to the railway and the entrance of the complex.

The path is organic and goes beyond nature, and at it goes through, it gets smaller like the stems of trees

The organic path is like a shock to the grid and it creates some irregularities; this anomaly works both vertically, through different floors in corrispondence of the public spaces, moreover horizontally, like the landscape around the building

HOUSE OF EQUALITY Where: Type: Year:

Baghere village, Senegal Public / Administrative Architecture 2021

Wooden planks substructure

Description

The Women’s house aims at the creation of a humanitarian structure, a safe environment as fundamental necessity to improve gender equality for the women of Baghere Village.

For this reason, the design path began from a simple and immediately recognizable shape: a squared volume with a central courtyard. The end result is the creation of a participatory building within the village, which offers protection and allows women to meet, work and learn.

The ultimate aim of the pavilion is to liberate, empower, and encourage the development of women in the neighbouring community. This is manifested through an independent semi-permanent and adaptable roof structure which shelters the site. In turn, this structure serves as a metaphor which allows these women to expand their abilities through self-learning and shared experiences.

The Women’s house is entered through a central courtyard, a public space which assumes specific features of the house, allowing the socialization in a closed and protected area for the gathering of women. While the centre of the building is the most public, the ends are the most private. The courtyard connects four complete interior spaces, each accompanied by an intimate outdoor space for the expansion of the room function in a protected exterior space. Apart from being areas for leisure and rest, these side gardens are designed and furnished to enhance the program of the adjacent spaces.

The final goal is to promote a sustainable economy, maximising the use of local and natural materials, as well as creating a strong collaboration with local craftswomen and craftsmen.

X DOME COMPLEX Where: Type: Year:

Milan, Lombrady, Italy Sport facility / Public architecture 2020

Description

Milano Santa Giulia is located between the districts of Rogoredo and Taliedo, an area that was known for its industrial character since the late 19th Century. The new PalaItalia in the Santa Giulia area of Milan will be the main ice hockey arena for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games.

The design underlying principle is to deny the monumentality and centrality of the sports complex. Therefore, a large suspended roof is considered to embrace the arena. This is mainly creating a strong connection between the arena and the surrounding. The Complex is comprised of two articulated parts, one is the canopy supported by free-standing columns and the other is the arena that is structurally autonomous and offers a capacity for 10000 spectators.

Due to the flux of people during the Olympic period, functions as restaurants, cafeteria, and shops are considered in a close proximity to the arena while at the intersection of the complex the information box is located to distribute and guide the spectators. The arena can be approached by all sides and all the covered space is creating a so-called buffer zone for the spectators to bide their time before the competitions. On the ground floor level, the main gates on 4 corners lead the public to the secondary zone which an external ring on the perimeter of the arena. This space consists of the main hall, service area, athletes entrances, press, and the main tunnels to the rink. Half of the arena is subterranean and the main tunnels lead the spectators to enter the arena from the middle. This kind of distribution contributes to better circulation. On the other hand, the reduction of the overall height of the arena helps to better organize the skyline.

LONG RIVER ROWING CLUB Where: Type: Year:

Mantua, Lombrady, Italy Sport facility / Public Architecture 2019

Description

The project is part of the Belfiore Gardens, which overlooks the upper lake of Mantua and houses the famous stretches of lotus flowers. The park is mostly frequented on the promontory, a meeting place where various activities are carried out, characterized by the presence of numerous trees with high trunk. The project area was located in a more marginal and less frequented area which coincides with the western part of the park, near to the town centre. After an analysis of the functions present in loco, was chosen as a project theme the rowing club, which lends itself to the relationship between land and water and welcomes athletes and sportsmen both in winter and summer. The rowing club consists of three main rooms: a storage room for canoes, a rowing pool and a landing pad, or launch platform. The reflection on the architectural theme leads us to the choice of the building type. The “aula” building is the one that best lends itself to the functions of the project, creating a space free of partitions and capable of hosting large elements such as rowing tanks and canoes. After a careful search for architectural references concerning the chosen theme, the decision to divide the architectural complex into three sections according to the main functions was considered adequate. The first section houses the services and for this reason it is characterized by an opaque construction system that becomes transparent at the entrance and the bar. The second totally glazed band has a distributive function and connects all environments. Finally, the third belt, the real classroom, stands on stilts that suspend it on the water. Inside is the training area that includes the rowing pool and the equipped gym.
