Magnifica fabbrica New headquarters of the labs and storage facilities of the Teatro alla Scala rubattino, milan.

Master Thesis - AY :2022/23 Thesis supervisor: Prof. Carles Muro - Thesis co-supervisor: Prof. Riccardo Aceti.

The project is to be understood as a search for the identity character of Milanese industrial architecture and the quality intrinsic to a large-scale spatiality.

The project responds to the need of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan to define in a single design an organism within which to develop, store, and open to the city its very rich scenography production.

The intervention fits into a fragmented area, on the borders of the Lombardy capital, and develops in the redesign of the entire area to define a large green park that integrates the project to its surroundings. The proposal envisions a new use of the pre-existing industrial archeology and articulates in several

autonomous but interconnected blocks, linked by a common basement strip. A first parallelepiped block gathers, on four levels, the theater rehearsal rooms and part of the laboratories. A second block is characterized by a continuous saw-tooth roof. This one, at the head, houses the management offices and provides access to the multi-purpose hall, an open-air theater, and, via a large spiral staircase, to the factory's internal path of the stage factory. The two longilinear buildings are divided by a long green courtyard punctuated by cross connections on multiple levels. The final quadrangular block is occupied by the theater warehouses.

new proximity Replacement of the residential building by aldo rossi, monte amiata complex at gallaratese district, milan.

Thematic Lab. - AY :2021/22 Prof. Carles Muro, Chiara Merlini - Partner: T. Balsimelli, F. Nicolò, A. Sellaro.

The design challenge lies in the replacement of Aldo Rossi's residential block within the Monte Amiata housing complex. The project plans the realization of 60 lodgings and some spaces with public or commercial function, directed to the residents. Maintaining the three residential blocks designed by Carlo Aymonino, the rossian block is ideally duplicated in order to compose a large courtyard overlooked by the balconies that give access to the residences.

Reinterpreting the Milanese "casa di ringhiera" (railing house), it recalls a collective and collected life within a space on a human scale. The permeability of the ground floor enters in relation with the

wide arcades of the existing; the pattern of the flooring wants to strengthen these relationships. The building collides with the existing, resting on the mineral square only with its structural framework, offering a shading pergola. The living modules are designed for a contemporary, post-Covid living, seeking maximum flexibility and adaptability.

bramante's geometries Open air theater in the Bramante's nymphaeum in genazzano, rome.

ReUSe Italy | Architecture Competition - 2023 Partner: S. Deiana, F. Nicolò.

The design proposal for the Bramante's Nymphaeum originates from the study of the architect’s original drawings, the analysis of which identified a 7.5 m square module that perfectly defines the existing space of the Nymphaeum.

From the regular module, through the development of the golden rectangle it has been given back hierarchy to the site. This new space defined follows Bramanante's first tripartition. The roof is composed of large steel profiles and emptied in the center by a circle, which gives a bright and suggestive opening. The giant order of the Nymphaeum also determined the choice for the supports: steel pillars emerge as a contemporary reinterpretation of the columns of Tuscanic order. The ceiling finds support on the new pillars and the concrete podium at the back of the Nymphaeum, approached by the new intervention but never directly touched: preserved in its fragility. This solid addition will also shelters all of the spaces necessary for the theater functions, along with the storage and the restrooms. The garden space is designed through paths between green areas characterized by terraces that lie and shape the natural slope of the land.

as time goes by Exhibition design of a pavilion, 23˚triennale milano international exhibition, milan.

Adv. Arch. Design Studio. - AY :2021/22 Prof. Diébédo Francis Kéré - Partner: T. Balsimelli, F. Nicolò, M. Oretti, L. Cadena.

Site: 45˚28’18.4”N 9˚10’24.7”E

The formulation of the proposal for a pavilion that would serve as a landmark for the 23ª International Expo of Triennale "Unknown Unknowns. An Introduction to Mysteries", in which the exhibition design was assigned to Prof.

Arch. Kéré. With models at different scales, the properties of wood and concrete were tested as structural, roofing or cladding components, evaluating their response and aesthetics from time to time.
