TRANSCRIPT

  • 3About Me, Cristina ManzoniI obtained a MArch degree at the faculty of Architecture and society in Politecnico di Milano. The topic of my with thesis is a new understanding of the museum typology: The museum of living coexistence in Circular Quay, Syd-ney. The dissertation represents the unavoidable in-dep-th analysis of the previous project developed during a six months exchange program at the University of Techno-logy in Sydney. This unique opportunity was one of the most stimulating and rewarding experience I have had to date and it allowed me to focus on different aspects and strategies to design in a multicultural environment.

    Previously I achieved a bachelor degree at the faculty of Architectures Science in Politecnico di Milano. During the three years program I spent a academic year at the Czech Technical university in Prague where I assimilated a different method to design.

    In 2010 I gained my first professional experience working at DNPR Associates. Beside the intense design activity, I enjoyed the opportunity to visit construction sites of com-plex buildings, as well as, interacted with clients. During my gap year I moved to London where I first worked as a sale assistant for Geox and then I worked as an intern architect for Rabih Hage enhancing my professional skills and cultural baggage as a designer thanks to a stimulating and challenging environment.

    Thanks to the daily teamwork commitments with collea-gues, as well as, many years of voluntary work for Agesci association I have a clear understanding of team-working value as a fundamental part of the organisational deve-lopment. I am able to create supportive and productive relationships with colleagues. Having considerably travel-led, lived and worked in different countries, I have gained the ability to deal with people from a wide spectrum of background, adapting my behaviour and my words to the interlocutors.

    Thanks to the work experiences and my university stu-dies I gained the ability to work under pressure, often in challenging conditions and with short-term deadlines, re-specting my duties and offering excellent products, which have always been appreciated and praised from the custo-mers and colleagues.

    I am able to work flexibly, learning the tasks quickly and prioritising the most important duties. I have learnt how to deal with the stress and provide the results on time, finding alternative solutions to what originally planned, solving problems in an analytical way.

    My ultimate ambition is to learn new skills and improve my architecture knowledge working in a creative environ-ment. I believe I could be a valuable addition to a design team, eager to learn, improve myself and giving ideas.

    Museum of contemporary animals, Sydney

    The starting point of the project was our proposal for the new Museum of Contemporary Art and Petting Zoo, de-signed in 2012. The aim of the previous project was the building to respond to its site in a way that the current museum does not. The value of the exhisting building has been argued more than once and accused to be autopoietic. Self-generating and selfmultiplying, autopoiesis is a cancerous condition manifesting itself architecturally in outbreaks of mindless, space-filling, selfreferential geometries. Situated in Circu-lar Quay and surrounded by the most identifiable buildin-gs in the country, such as the Opera House, the Harbour bridge, Sydneys ferry terminal, this building seeks to ce-lebrate rather than disregard its surrounding context. The building absorbs and emphasizes the fixed as well as chan-ging image of Sydney. The site surrounding our precedent OMAs Casa da Musica is distorted by the geometry of

    the building, here our projects uses this process in re-verse; the building is shaped by the context carved out along main visual axis to the Sydneys iconic landmarks, projecting them back inside the building.Through snap-shots of context separated from program, a sequence of events is constructed which builds to a finale on the roof terrace, where the two are unified allowing visitor to reflect on the identity of Sydneys icons and by extention to the surrounding area, through the lenses of contradi-cting programmatic requirements.

    The aim of this project is to design a unique building both in its shape and program in order to create an uncommon, exclusive well adapted to the context(s) new building. The existing building on the area, the MCA does not respond to the site and it was defined as a superimposition of dif-ferent shape boxes. It does not solve areas problems relat-ed to the use during the night and to the lack of connec-tion in between the historical quarter the Rocks and the promenade leading to the famous Opera House. On the bases of those premises our approach to the design start-ed with a strong, deep and critical analysis of the context. From such analysis it emerges the importance of the area both for the citizen and for tourists visiting Australia, it is a proper gateway of people. Such considerations encour-age us to develop a program related to sport, Australian wild nature and a museum. The heterogeneity of the pro-gram and the will of melt the function together drive us to investigate on the possibilities of hybrid architecture de-sign. We reaches a form organized in main cores hosting

    the peculiar Australian habitats around which the col-lection of the museum it is unrolled; on the promenade level the sport center is developed next to a leisure side made of a restaurant and a cafeteria. All those functions are addressed to different typology of users; tourist, vis-itors, workers, citizen and animals living in the habitats. The external public space is studied to take advantage of the site stunning location with spectacular views over Sydney Harbour to the Opera House, as well as creating a new attractor point in the quay. In conclusion, the re-sulting building is well adapted to the location. Indeed it is a unique construction within the country where our ambition was to provide an alternative way to live and ex-perience common programs tied to Australian tradition.

    A distinctive natureNature is a precious topic for Australia. Althought, the iden-tity of all Australians is shaped by a relationship with the natural environment, the most of theme are not consciouss of the wide set of habitats.

    Migrations and new nomadsCircular Quay is a neuralgic crossover for both tourists, travellers, workers and inhabitans. The context with the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, CBD and ferry terminals attracts disparate users .

    National sport identitySports and activities are part of everyday life for australian inhabitants, sporting successes have assisted the emerging nation of Australia to establish its character.

    A museum of coexistenceIn order to fulfill the needs of the users the essence of a new museum is the coexistence of animals living their habitat, visitors the museum and customers of the sport center and recreational center.

    INTERIOR DESIGN STUDIOBachelor degree, Politecnico di MilanoAcademic year 2007-2008Professor Letizia CaruzzoGroup project

    The THEATRE of Creativity, Borronis factory, Milan

    The Borronis factory is a nineteenth-century industrial building hosting art exhibition nowadays. The main idea of the project is to recover and convert some of the factory premises in a theatre exhibition, not just with the intent of reusing a derelict building but with the aim of creating a centre of considerable cultural expansion. The commis-sioner asks us to create an eclectic space, versatile and suit-able for different needs. It involves respecting the existing proportions and details whilst introducing new materials to create a fresh new-old dialogue.The result is an Experimental theatre, where the role of the audience in the performance is fundamental and the whole project is based on this function. The theatre is a multipurpose space with a spacious terrace and small bal-conies suspended. The outdoor area can be connected to the indoor space thanks to a wide slit on the main wall.

    The design take form from several references such as the Tate Modern art gallery, the project of Prometeo by Renzo Piano, Le Corbusier, boite miracle and for the steel inte-rior the Jean Nouvelles Fondazione Cartier.An accurate choice of materials has been made and the steel is predominant next to a large amount of oak wood. The detail of both the glass covering panels and the tie roads on the suspended balconies where studied carefully through physical models, sketches and modeling.

    ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO 3Bachelor degree, Politecnico di MilanoAcademic year 2007-2008Professor Letizia CaruzzoGroup project

    The first stage of planning is based on a abstract grid of 60x60m which was later superimposed onto a map of Milan. The main idea developed by the project is the use of different shapes and the composition through the row house typology which overlooks a square. The pub-lic ground floor is extremely permeable in contrast to the main elevation characterized by small squared windows.This choice highlights the relation between public and private spaces, as well as the collective spaces.The composition systems are: the unit and the proportion which means the relation between every single part and the entire building. The unit used and repeated with some variation is of 5,40x5,40metres. The building up to the fifth floor has a square hole which gives the impression of two different buildings reconnected on the last two floors in a uniformed body. The interior space is divided into housing simplex, duplex and triplex with two different

    heights on the terrace and accessible thanks to a long bal-cony leading on the west side. The east elevation is like a skin placed on the body of the building defined by a series of small modular windows. A cubic opening and the stairs space out the composition of the windows. The result is a multipurpose building design using the mod-ular system.

    ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIOMSc Architecture, Politecnico di MilanoAcademic year 2011-2012Professor Cino ZucchiIndividual project

    The strong historical analysis of the site drove the evo-lution of the design proposal. The urban organization of Porta Volta traces back the 15th century when the Mura Spagnole city walls defined the citys growing boundaries. After the opening of the bastion in the late 19th centu-ry, Via Alessandro Volta laid the basis for the citys ex-tension outside the ancient walls, connecting as a new, prominent urban axis the historical center with Cimitero Monumentale. The idea of recreating a physical wall along Viale Francesco Crispi both with stones and keeping the existing trees come from the history of the site and the necessity of isolating the area from the track street. The analyses of the main access point, as well as, the axes of the site drive the decision where to place the main en-trance of the building and the cut of it along Via Frances-co Bonnet the main street connecting the city center to the site.

    The museum is designed as a contemporary gallery with a main hall around which unroll side activities such as the cafeteria and the book shop. Both the temporary and the permanent exhibition are designed into two distinctive branches with double high versatile spaces. The materials choices are, once again, related to the tradition of the city with Ceppo di Gr slabs covering the entire building and plane timber for the interiors.

    A SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS, Citt Studi, Milan

    Politecnico sustainable campus is a project with a view to transforming the citys university district into a campus with regard to quality of life. The aim of the project is be-coming sites of genuine exchange and interaction between the university and the surrounding community because, although the campus is architecturally integrated into the city, it is unrelated on the social aspect. An accurate analysis reveal Citt Studis district composed by different blocks of buildings. The Old block which is introvert, composed by eight buildings in a classical language, the modern area with buildings like objects into a platform creating spatial relationships only between each other. The two systems are effectively disconnected among each other, as well as, poor of designed spaces encouraging the encounter between student and citizen. The project is a pure volume that plays the role of integrator in order to combine characters of existing buildings. It is aligned to

    the main people flow creating a continuous public space through the pedestrianization of via Bonardi. The area aims to be a social condenser and metropolitan urban re-source. The design of new public spaces and removal of the existing fences improve the permeability and accessibili-ty to the site, as well as the contemporary portico on the ground floor making the building almost floating instead of being a new barrier. The new multifunctional structure recreates a faade to the Politecnico filling the voids on the existing one. An underground exhibition tunnel is the physical connector among the old and modern block enhancing the importance of social common spaces ad-dressed to everyone. The spaces designed are flexible and with a variety of function such as, from the offices, small library and media library, reading room, model room, ex-hibition space and a student dormitory.

    The campus currently is using the space available in a traditional way, there are many unused spaces (roofs, gardens, the back of buildings) with a few changes its possible to offer new areas and functions. The project intends to identify those areas and allow modification and propose reuse.

    The campus currently is using the space available in a traditional way, there are many unused spaces (roofs, gardens, the back of buildings) with a few changes its possible to offer new areas and functions. The project intends to identify those areas and allow modification and propose reuse.

    foundations and add double-sided tape

    Assign each component to the right group, using color coding

    First connect the components in arches, then connect the arches in a vault

    Rotate the vaults 180o, then glue the piers to the ground using the double sided tape

    Attach the next vault and then connect the rib Voil!

    Fold and glueHere is the component!
