KINECTIC ENVELOPE DESIGN

OFFICE ROOM 8th floor - 28,5 m

2019 Milan, MI - Italy

HOTEL ROOM 5th floor - 14,5 m

Façade design: Parametric façade responsive to the environment’s radiation

RESTAURANT 1st floor - 4,00 m

The three thermal zones are chosen to perform all the analysis because they are representative of the height of the building and also of the three different functions.

DELTASKIN -

PTFE MATERIAL

(polytetrafluoroethylene textile) Winter (21°)

Design combining textile material to filter radiation and moveable shape to balance indoor thermal comfort and optimize daylight. Software: Grasshopper.

Summer (62°)

OVERHANG: When in this configuration, the material does not allow the direct solar radiation to enter the building.

VERTICAL: When acting in the vertical fins configuration, it allows the diffuse radiation to enter inside the thermal zone.

DESIGN CONCEPT

TRI ANGLE

GRADUAL SHADING

SYSTEM AND STRUCTURE The system works with a mechanism that allows movement around the "x", "y" and "z" axis.

For each structural axis we have a grid of 3x3 modules on the facade.

FAÇADE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

DETAILS 01 Structure of the triangular shading element in anodized aluminium (alloy-6060-T6), Ø45 mm

NO SHADINGS

The building without the façade intervention already had some strategies to deal with solar radiation, like the balconies, and therefore the daylight indexes are within the comfort zone.

02 Actuation system fixed to the substructure with stainless steel screws 03 Shading substructure made of rectangular hollow profiles welded to the base plate

SHADED FAÇADE

This configuration permits to understand the potential of the see-through textile material. Even if the interior space is not directly exposed to solar radiation, the DF has a good performance level.

USEFUL DAYLIGHT ILLUMINANCE (UDI)

However, it presents a high value of ASE and glare (intolerable) and those are the main reasons why the shading system is designed and sucessfully solve the problems, as we can see in the analysis below.

Because the textile material allows part of the solar radiation to enter the room, there is some glare, but never in an area higher than 5%. And even this % is controlled by the shading disposition.

DESIGN STRATEGIES

CROSS VENTILATION

The wind behavior within the urban context follows the shape of the constructed surroundings: near the ground, the velocity of the wind is not effective. But at a higher level there is the possibility of a discreet flow of air.

According to the daylight analysis the adopted solution is to leave part of the backyard open. Part of the area will host a one-floor building, a coffee-shop, while the remaining space will be open to provide a piazza as buffer the noise coming from the street.

Part of the overlit area is taken out from the building thanks to the sloping façade.

- enhanced indoor climate: in winter, the walls store heat so the indoor temperature remains high. In summer, the solar gains reaching indoor are reduced.

INSULATION PANEL The insulating panels in bound bog reeds are used for internal and external coats. They consist of marsh reed panels and are ideal for thermal and acoustic insulation.

The material does not absorb humidity or water and therefore guarantees a constant insulation even under humid conditions. As a natural insulator, the marsh reed panels at no stage, from harvesting to processing and final use, are harmful to health or nature.

Thesis project: Integrated Residential Complex

Existing building + refurbishment +expansion Housing for elderly and university students: benefits for both targeted audiences.

MASTERPLAN

western border of the state of Rio Grande do Sul

Giving some housing problems happening in the city of Itaqui - RS - Brazil, the project proposes a housing development that is integrated with mixed-use activities. The aim is gather two target audiences: the elderly and the college students, who have moved to this city because of the implementation of a public university, in 2008.

The proposal is grounded in housing two combined publics aiming to improve their qualities of life. In addition to the personal benefits, it is also an economical advantadge where the student can “pay” for his rent with volunteer work. This program contributes to the formation of a more conscious and generous society.

The program is organized in two buildings: the higher one, in the back part of the site, works as the residence part. This 4-storey building also carries the most private functions, restricted to residents, and all the services supporting the residential area.

The one-storey located in the front of the site is built as recreational and more public functions. It has an auditorium, coffee shop, beauty salon and an art gallery that are open to the general community and also can be a source of income for the residence.

They are linked, allowing the project to be integrated while still preserving the privacy of the residents.

intervention site area =8320 m²

TYPICAL STUDIO APARTMENT The room is designed not only to be a place to sleep, but a private ambience of quality of life and thermal and acoustic comfort. The interior design choices are made so it will bring the joy of living from outside to inside. It is designed to feel young, cozy, fun and colorful.

Contemporary interpretation of 2015 Porto Alegre, RS - Brazil historical building Architectural Studio: Cultural Complex

In Porto Alegre, a site with two pre-existing buildings designed by the architect Joseph Lutzenberger is chosen to house a new museum to honor the architect: the Joseph Lutzenberger’s Memorial. It is a place for the preservation and appreciation of the “built history” that happens there.

The museum takes place in the same site where the pre-existence buildings are located, they ae renovated and function as co-working space and also are a “full-size” art exhibition.

It is important to observe the presence of an internal patio as an integrating space, “inviting” the city to go through its limits. Themes such as museography concepts and the "old X new" contrasts are inherent to the design proposal programme and ask for appropriate solutions.
