HABITAT
Habitat aims to challenge the ordinary boundary among inside and outside, questioning the relationship in terms of architectural and educational spaces. Children live without overthinking about edges and physical limits, why their habitat should?
Habitat, as an ecosystem, is both very rational and logic while complex and chaotic. In doubting the inside-outside, educational classic system, landscape and new spaces define a different experience of commuting, gathering and learning. The passive strategies can be summed up as: the playful envelope, the patio, the roof and finally the solar greenhouses. All these concepts are based on the carried out analysis as well as educational space motivations.

Reversing inside-outside as a view starts by expanding out indoor environments.
Expanding in brings thereby wild oudoor spaces where lacked before, a new habitat.
New relationship between different levels leads to an unexpected result.

Turin lab
The delicate tarditional infrastructure needs innovation! The learning space has remained constant.
Italian historical, social and economical context explains the old, outdated tradtional school heritage left.
The city presents itself as an open lab where to analyze, compare and experiment with different architectures.
A phenomena of repetition took over, making easier to identify tons of same school models.

GINKGO
Architecture, similarly to Ginkgo tree, ought to be as resilient as possible, able to resist and to adapt to change. Ginkgo is not pretext of image, instead, it comes out from its site and specific requirements: designing an exhaustive place for accommodation in a fragile Alpine historical context. It does not establish itself as a mere monofunctional guesthouse, estranged from reality, but it is aimed at the whole community in Sauze d’Oulx by returning the taken area as a green gallery: a place where meeting, relaxing, learning, feeling at home. Recreating this ecosystem, architecture is invaded and by reclaiming its space it returns back a labyrithinc passage. The common area can adapt to different functions, needs, guests segments, seasons. And that it is the secret of resilience. Particularly, travelling means experiencing architecture itself.
Nature reclaims architecture
In hotel like at home
Simplifying a complex space
/ Modelling
Lack of porosity, extreme density and ground unevenness are solved with different height bases. 2 corners are identified: north on the old town square; south, a garden as natural continuity.
/ The Diagonal
2 main volumes are slipped according to their diagonal. A common central heart is formed, a gallery and distribution corridor as perspective cone crossing the architecture.
Strolling along it, the diagonal comes as public space where services overlook. Paths lead to the rooms, offering curious views. Walkways, overhanging or suspended volumes make this environment an intricate passage.
Each part requires its own morphologic shape and façade. Favoring the best sun exposure, path and panoramic sights, the volume is beveled. Very pronunced slopes can room precise hidden tactical openings.
Natural materials as wood recall the alpine context. A Quinta system gives the building an opportunity for a multi-image aspect, never repetitive. The passage offers tourists and not a new way of living public green space.

Upgrading the existing built heritage of the 70’s in Turin is currently a challenge towards energy transition and low carbon architecture. A meticoulus analysis of the worst permorming building - as well as the most interesting on the architectural side - led to the archetype in Via Rivalta 28. The design of two double skins, one - here shown - with reused waste materials and the other with breathable textile, is the outcome of context, climate and users analysis. Simultaneously, an estimation for an energy self-sufficient building is part of the project: parametric sun-based approach defines part of the designed elements. Lastly, nature invades the façade with its seasonal behaviour, ensuring comfort and wellness to the residents.

In Den Haag the KB stands out: a massive architecture with its modular white skin, welcomes its readers in environments where time stood still. Its façade and volumetry though have affected space and life of the building, particularly its non-porosity results in several aspects which may be improved. Publicness and context, accessibility and views, uses and surfaces, daylight and energy, ventilation and comfort, among others. The focal issue is the lack of natural light, interestingly for a library, becoming the main reason for the concept. Time is part of the project: the skeleton functions as a flexible grid which can host different panels in the future, by addition, subtraction, or by reshaping them in the future.

Bioworld: a call for action to design with nature against urgencies. If we condense the Earth’s life into 24 hours, we have been here for 3 seconds: we lost symbiosis with nature, we need to act, to dream Bioworld in the 4th second left. What can we learn from nature to do so? For our group, the action is Cool: nature is cooling down itself by ventilation, shading, evaporation and reflection. Water plays a very important role in its different stages. The speculative concept starts by increasing porosity to allow natural ventilation. A nature-inspired mesh can harvest water while providing shading. Crystallization takes over it, architecture and even the city, cooling down the temperature by evaporative cooling and reflection. Ideally, this cool cycle can again turns into vapour, enhancing clouds making, thus albedo, finally shifting the urban heat to cool islands. A Bioworld: a reconsideration of our relation to the Natural World.
