Alessia Ulloa | 2025

Hi, I’m Alessia I started “learning to see architecture” by playing with LEGO and drawing my dream house.

I have been studying architecture for five years, beginning my Bachelor’s at Politecnico di Torino, my hometown.

During my Bachelor’s, I was part of the Talenti group for outstanding students at the Politecnico.

I completed a one-year course specializing in construction site safety because I have always admired the practical and hands-on aspects of being an architect. I enjoy observing how a construction site operates.

In recent years, I have worked as a teaching assistant alongside several professors, including Antonio De Rossi, an architect specializing in Alpine architecture.

In January 2025, I completed my six-month Erasmus program at TU Delft with an average grade of 9.

I had the privilege of engaging with a vibrant and stimulating environment.

My first impression was so positive that I decided to stay and live in the Netherlands for one year.

adapt v. tr. [from Latin adaptare, composed of adand aptare “to fit”] To make something suitable for a new purpose, condition, or environment.

If the theater of action is the port of Rotterdam, one must consider the changing water levels every 8 hours, as well as the flooding risk.

Therefore, adaptation was chosen as the key concept of the entire project, leading to the decision to build on water rather than on solid ground.

Two free-plan university pavilions are connected by an urban platform, used as a bicycle parking area below water level. Sliding walls and rotating panels make the interior spaces flexible.

The façade system is mobile, adapting throughout the day according to the sunpath. The entire structure is dry-assembled and Rendered image looking north east towards the connection between the two buildings

Pathway connecting the main cultural institutions to the chosen site

The city of Rotterdam faces significant flood risks due to its position relative to sea level and ongoing climate change.

Projections indicate that by 2100, sea levels could rise between 30 cm and 120 cm, increasing the likelihood of flooding in the Port of Rotterdam.

Currently, the port is protected by barriers such as the Maeslantkering, which closes when water levels exceed +3 meters NAP (Normaal Amsterdams Peil). However, with the predicted sea level rise, these measures may not be sufficient to ensure long-term safety.

The site, located in the water between Katendrecht and Waalhaven, provides an opportunity to connect key urban areas.

- 8-

In this way it is possible to create a loop between the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC), Creative Campus (CC), and the site—all within a 15-minute bike ride. It’s also close to existing student housing and has potential for future housing in the port area. It is well-connected to public transport with a nearby metro station and will benefit from the future Nelson Mandela Park.

It is not just a building but an urban bridge, crossed by students, Rotterdam residents, tourists, and the port’s biodiversity.

One bold feature is a lightweight concrete ramp extending down to the bicycle parking below the water level, creating a striking visual effect and establishing a direct connection with the water element.

Portfolio | 2025

After deciding to design microbiology labs for the new med-tech campus, we needed to think carefully about the layout and what would be necessary for these labs to work efficiently. Since the labs will be used by a range of people, including researchers, PhD students, postdocs, lab technicians, and graduate students, it’s important that the design is both functional and adaptable. These labs will focus on a mix of basic microbiology research and more advanced clinical diagnostics, so they need to meet high standards for safety and be equipped for various experiments.

The project is defined by different levels of flexibility. On the ground floor, the space is entirely open, with cur+ + tains as the only dividers.

On the first floor, sliding panels create enclosed spaces or open up new layouts.

On the top floor, flexibility operates on a single dimension, with pivoting panels.

The cafeteria building, with its square shape, incorporates balconies and sliding panels for shading, allowing flexibility and adaptability to varying sun angles. The auditorium building, which has longer facades on the east and west, is equipped with rotating vertical louvres to manage sunlight and optimize shading effectively.

The flexibility of these facades is key to their resilience.

Unlike buildings on land that remain fixed unless dismantled, floating buildings can change orientation more easily. This adaptability means that adjustable shading elements, like the sliding panels and rotating louvres, ensure the buildings can respond to changes in position or environmental conditions over time.

STRUCTURAL BLUE Stasis and motion Atelier forme strutturali

Chair: Costantino Pathestos Team: Alessia Ulloa, Donatella Sardone, Giulia Scuto, Stefano Otta Library January 2024 (Turin, Italy)

The project is conceived as a game of “Chinese boxes”; to cite Moneo, it follows the concept of “building within the built.”

Since the library is a place of quiet and absolute silence, this function is concentrated within the blue block.

Dialogues, casual conversations, and flows instead take place outside, on a ramp surrounding the block. Stillness contrasts with movement.

From a structural perspective, the idea was to create a building that would make passersby wonder: “How does it stand?”

We chose to juxtapose, on one side, a structure with two supports and, on the other, a structure with a single support. Two independent structural systems with different functions ultimately form three supporting structures in the shape of an interlocking “L.”

FUNZIONI

Il progetto si configura come un gioco di “scatole cinesi”, per citare Moneo segue il concetto di “costruire nel costruito”. Dal momento che la biblioteca è un luogo di quiete e assoluto silenzio, questa funzione si concentra all’interno del blocco blu. I dialoghi, le chiacchiere di circostanza e i flussi si svolgono invece all’esterno, su una rampa che circonda il blocco. La stasi si contrappone al moto. Dal punto di vista strutturale, si è pensato a un edificio che ponesse nei passanti un dubbio: “Come si regge?”. Abbiamo scelto di contrapporre da un lato una struttura con due appoggi e dall’altro singolo appoggio. Due sistemi strutturali indipendenti e con funzionamento diverso che complessivamente originano tre strutture portanti a forma di L che si incastrano fra loro. La difficoltà maggiore è stata la porzione dell’edificio che possiede un singolo appoggio centrale, generando degli sbalzi significativi ai lati.

Degli stralli in sommità, che “tirino” le porzioni della soletta a sbalzo, sono stati la risoluzione. Se l’obiettivo iniziale è instillare il dubbio nell’osservatore, vogliamo fornire anche una risposta, che è il motivo del nome del nostro progetto: blu strutturale. Come se possedessimo un evidenziatore, coloriamo in blu i componenti portanti della struttura, lasciandola completamente a vista nell’ultimo piano. Come progettisti, concordi con la lampada della Verità di Ruskin, abbiamo dichiaratamente scelto di non tamponare la struttura, non mascherarla in alcun modo ma di mostrarla. Ci piace pensare agli studenti della biblioteca con il naso per aria, che proprio come faremmo noi di fronte a qualsiasi edificio, cercano di capire come funzioni il sistema di stralli e travi reticolari.

The biggest challenge was the portion of the building that has only a single central support, creating significant overhangs on the sides. At the top, braces “pull” the cantilevered slab portions, solving the issue.

If the initial goal was to instill doubt in the observer, we also wanted to provide an answer, which is the reason behind the name of our project: Structural Blue. As if using a highlighter, we colored the building’s load-bearing components in blue, leaving themfully exposed on the top floor.

- 30-

As designers, in agreement with Ruskin’s Lamp of Truth, we deliberately chose not to cover the structure, not to mask it in any way, but to reveal it.

We like to imagine library students walking with their noses in the air, just as we would in front of any building, trying to understand how its system of braces and lattice beams works.

Alessia Ulloa | Architect

THE STRUCTURE The entire structure is suspended from a system of lattices at the top, on the uppermost floor.

The project is based on two different macro-structures: on the left, two load-bearing blocks (each with four piers) transfer forces to the ground, while on the right, the task of load descent is assigned to a single block equipped with braces.

The two different structural solutions are considered independent and are therefore dimensioned separately.

Each of the two structures generates a technical floor that extends from 30m above ground level to the roof at 35m.

BLU STRUTTURALE

Descrizione L’intera struttura è appesa a un sistema di reticolari in sommità: all’ultimo piano.

Il progetto si imposta su due macrostrutture differenti: a sinistra due blocchi portanti (da quattro del progetto strutturale piedritti ciascuno) scaricano le forze a terra, mentre a destra il compito della discesa dei carichi è

affidato a un singolo blocco, dotato di stralli. Le due diverse soluzioni strutturali sono considerate autonome, perciò dimensionate singolarmente. Ognuna delle due strutture genera un piano tecnico che si pone a 30m dal livello zero fino alla copertura (35m).

MUTUAL PARASITISM Guests bodies in steel Atelier interior

Chair: BLA | Balance Architecture Team: Alessia Ulloa, Alessandro Santo, Francesca Spada Interior design June 2023 (Turin, Italy)

On the first floor of a Turin apartment, the project takes shape. The parasitic nuclei break the regularity of the rooms, establishing themselves at the center of the apartment, creeping into the gaps or leaning against the edges.

The clients are Erika and Andrea. She is a kindergarten teacher, passionate about vinyl records. He is a personal trainer, an enthusiast of the vegan lifestyle. They have a dog. They desire spacious, minimal interiors that respect the historical character of the house.

The parasites teach their own way of inhabiting, belonging to the environment but also remaining external to it. Neither guests nor strangers, they differ in size, shape, and material from the pre-existing structure. Their spatial arrangement is neither coherent nor random.

The result is a continuous space, defined by unpredictable rules.

SYSTEMS. EVOLUTION OF TRADITIONAL SPACES Where is the furniture?

Each piece of furniture has its own character—a custom-made "parasite."

The double-faced kitchen-studio parasite features a recess to accommodate a sink. The host bodies reveal their essence when carved, releasing a functional green gem. On the opposite side, the same gem generates a foldable table that serves as a video-making station.

ARCHEOLOGICAL PARK The veil of time Atelier interior

Chair: BLA | Balance Architecture, Valeria Minucciani Team: Alessia Ulloa, Alessandro Santo, Francesca Spada Interior design June 2023

Libarna is a buried city, reminiscent of the mythical Atlantis.

Its evocative history is interwoven with the past.

Just as the Romans chose it as a commercial hub, today it is again identified as an ideal location for the transit of goods. Through the excavation for the construction of the railway in 1846, the ancient city was brought back to light. Later, a second track would cut through the archaeological site, marking it— and in a sense, condemning it. Today, the municipality of Libarna is seeking a project to modernize the Archaeological Park.

This project attempts to lift the veil of time, the layers that have hidden it for centuries—including the railway tracks. By suspending layer after layer, the regular grid of the city’s layout will reemerge. The arch will serve as the archetype that enables a metaphysical passage between past and present throughout the museum path.

- 54-

The grid: the Roman layout.

The stratifications: contemporaneity.

The suspension: unveiling the ancient.

THE GRID, THE TRACKS, AND THE ARCH: LAYERS OF TIME Why choose a steel arch as a bridge between eras? It will evoke the full round arch, a cornerstone of Roman architecture, but made of steel—a thoroughly modern material. Visitors will be led to reflect on the connections between ancient and contemporary life: what do we share with our ancestors?

They will become aware of the temporal shift simply by observing the color of the portals they pass through. The yellow flavus will transport them to the past. Stainless steel will reset their temporal compass and return them to the present.

The first stop will be marked by the Info Point: a building rational and white on the outside, but bursting with vibrant color on the inside—flavus yellow. In Roman tradition, newlyweds were often placed in an entirely yellow room as a wish for prosperity and happiness. Similarly, this belief is revived in the project, sealing the marriage between past and present.

THE INFO POINT After passing through the entrance arch, a frosted glass cube will house the reception and emit light.

A grid will hang from the ceiling, symbolizing the regular layout of the Roman city.

Two linear lights, shaped like railway tracks, will also hang from above. It is here that the magic begins: the veil of time is lifted, preparing the visitor to see Libarna with new eyes.

Informative panels with details of the excavations will surround the glass structure, and audioguides will hang

from the ceiling clearly explaining the discovery and the beginning of the city’s story.

The reception area is kept to a minimum to allow the museum experience to begin here. School groups will be able to explore the entire room while teachers purchase tickets; similarly, any visitor can be entertained while waiting their turn.

The effect of the headphones hanging from the ceiling will be especially evocative.

The theater will be available to the Municipality and may be used as a scenic backdrop even during evening hours.

During the day, after the theater, visitors will reach the museum, housed in the pre-existing building, formerly a railway tollhouse. The museum itinerary has been designed as an immersive experience in which, through audio guides, the visitor steps into the life of an inhabitant of Libarna.

At the beginning of the tour, the visitor will choose one of three characters: the gladiator, the surgeon, or the merchant.

The visitor will be guided through the various rooms by the narration of the chosen character and will be brought back to the modern era in the final room.

No need to level the terrain to ease the path—a slightly elevated WPC walkway will indicate the way forward. Immediately after the Info Point, visitors will pass through the arches (metaphorical portals to the past), which lead them to the “belvedere,” a grid-structured platform that provides a panoramic view of the entire archaeological site.

This change in perspective is essential, as it precedes the descent into the ruins. Visitors will grasp the city’s layout and organization through wireframe volumes and transparent illustrated panels.

After passing the amphitheater, a metal grid will ideally continue the House of the Surgeon, whose flooring has remained intact through the centuries.

THE MUSEUM A DAY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Choosing one of the three audioguides will transform the visitor into an original inhabitant of Libarna. Three stories will unfold across the rooms, weaving together life in the ancient city.

The first room will portray awakening in a domus, with sunlight streaming through the courtyard, illuminating a fountain. Passing by everyday objects, visitors will then move into the public realm, reaching the forum.

Amid the market’s clamor, goods from the time will be displayed, including engraved artifacts. The upper floor will set the stage for a battle in the arena, followed by a rush to the surgeon’s house to mend wounds. Every Roman day ends at the thermae. After the frigidarium, a metal arch will announce the return to the present, leading into the final room.

- 60-

Leaving the thermae behind, a metal arch will frame the head of Bacchus— but turned away from the viewer. It is an invitation to gaze in the same direction, a design homage to Carlo Scarpa. Beyond the threshold, visitors will find themselves in a mirrored room. Naturally, they will compare their own facial features to those of Bacchus, and read the question on the wall: “Are you really that different, after all?”

The reflection is left to the viewer, who can record their thoughts in a dedicated installation or listen to those of others through the headphones suspended from the ceiling.

The result is an immersive and personalized museum experience—one designed to spark discussion even beyond the boundaries of the Archaeological Park.

IN BETWEEN SPACES Tradition or innovation?

Atelier Real Estate

Existing buildings have significant differences in height

Chair: Marco Trisciuoglio Team: Alessia Ulloa, Jing Tao Housing and public buildings June 2024 (Nanjing, China)

The buildings in the Nanjing project site have varying heights on each side of the lot.

The intervention area is currently used as a parking lot but has several potentials: the proximity to the river (a vital infrastructure for any city) and the ancient city walls, which tell old stories.

The project aims to use building heights that align with the existing ones, gradually decreasing as they approach the river.

The connection with the river and the walls is made through a blue bridge. The buildings are inspired by the courtyard house typology, with a 10-meter wing. They are placed next to each other, drawing light from the internal courtyards.

Rendered image looking north east towards the connection between the two buildings

- 68-

Using this Chinese method, we aimed to preserve the existing buildings to create a project that could bring harmony where there is currently asphalt.

In Between Spaces is a project rooted in the ground and the walls of the existing buildings. It collaborates and coexists with them. It could not be located anywhere else but here.the decision to build on water rather than on solid ground.
