Phoenix house,Quipu

Resilient homes lab

In collaboration with: Elina Amiri, Sarah Bahmani, Milica Colevic, Matthieu Crouzet, Mona El Koussa, Jiachen Lin, Lorenzo Locatelli, Hossein Moradi, Yara Roumieh

Prof. F. De Filippi, Prof. M. Robiglio, Prof. M. Simonetti, Prof.E. Vigliocco

Politecnico di TorinoTurin, Italy2018

This course was divided in two parts: the first one had the aim to project a prototype house in a mountain region , not specified around the world, which suffered earthquakes and landslides. This project took part at the international competition “Resilient Homes Challenge” organized by the World Bank, Build Academy, AirBnB and GFDRR.“Phoenix house” tried to solve a post-cataclism situation in a fast way. Thanks to the local and humanitarian cooperation, using also the local materials and technological items, we proposed an economic house that can resist to the future events.

In the second part of the course we worked individually. With our prototype house we had to project a little resilience village.In this case, I chose to work long the shores of the Titicaca lake. The concept of “Quipu” was based on the ancient history of Peru, in relationship with the tecnological improvements and a social economy helped by the tourism.

L’ilot dans l’ilot

Urban project for Mirafiori sud in Turin, Italy

In collaboration with: Fabio Ranaldi andAlessandro Scarfiello

Prof. A. Sampieri, Prof. S. Crivello

Politecnico di TorinoTurin, Italy2018

The group studied the urban morphology of the area and identified the complexity of the inner courtyards as the main problem os the area.Thanks to an sociological analysis the project wants to organize these spaces and give to the comunity sevices and houses with quality.The idea of the project is clear and easy : to put a new block inside the block, starting by the experiences of the utong in Cina and their little comunities.We decided to develop the project only in one block, “The prototype”, because all the blocks of the area has the same structure and dynamics. The vision is to expand the idea all over the area, and maybe all over the ciy.

ExtraLong started producing a single-family house, the second step was the assemblage of this single unit to create a multifamily housing.The first project, Long, studied the maximum availment of the gothic lot that is typical of the nordic countries. In the second phase I did an easy assemblage in an ipothecical lot very tight and long.ExtraLong was thought for three differents types of house that create a social housing: temporary residence, simple house, duplex.The lot was gifted of three types of green common spaces: a jardin public at ground floor with a public use, a jardin potager at thirth floor and a terrace at fourth floor that are private.

Concurso Inspiration Hostel 2018Opengap

In collaboration with: Luigi Borghetti, Simone Foglia, Alessandro Scarfiello

2018

Two slits, cut the Venice lagoon. Four different glimpses at each side: the city and the horizon, both talking to the waves. No contact with land, but a boat, able to cut the mute black prism and get inside, firstly stopping at the hall in the angle.

The silence remains in each block of studios, separated from the others by the slits. Every studio looks towards the interior, where the exterior walls of the group rooms serve as gallery. Getting inside the central space, a slope leads under the level of the sea, in the meditation room, transparent on the sides.

At its top, the library looks both to the central space and to the gallery, through an horizontal pane. While people read and study, others pass on the boat, looking at the hanging pieces of art.

An annihilated space to clear out the mind.

Cruz

Arkxsite, architectural competitionSite cultural centerAtalaya Magra, Moura (Portugal)

In collaboration with: Elia Lupo, Alberto Spedicato and Alessandro Scarfiello

2017

Cruz was the product of our team for the competition Arkxsite.The competition, like every year, proposed an historical element, the Atalaya Magra tower, in realtion with the natural atmosphere of Moura.Cruz is a cultural center that develops underground but see always the tower through openings like stairs and ramps.The path of the project has a second visual objective: the landscape.The visitors can find this element, more or less, at the end of the itinerary, in the cafeteria.The power of the project is the “multi-points-of-view”. To improve this caracterisctic the roof of the building has a plot of beams in concrete, to have light inside the spaces and to allow the visitors to see the tower.

Luoghi sensibili

Utopian Hours, Torinostratosferica

Student group

Turin, Italy2018

The exhibition took the Luoghi sensibili as the main sujbect. The group identified the places with a potential renewal. The images were a utopic visualization of this buildings/places.Our group has the idea to push the imagination of the people, using the architecture like a reactivation device through the provocation.This images, like a project took a part in the exhibition Utopian Hours organized by Torinostratosferica. We worked a lot with this association, creating the program of the festival which is taking an important protagonism into the cultural, urbanistic and architectural scenarion of Turin.

NoPhoto, Paratissima

In collaboration with: Elena Taliano

Turin, Italy2017

With Elena Taliano in September 2017 was born this collection of photos under the name of Ambos. This photos were host at Paratissima 13. Our subject was the Peru, a country full of contradictions and urban utopies that are the simple reality. The photos are sometimes collages that compare the city and the countryside, reality and utopies, sometimes are real photos to show Peru with its natural contrasts. Mostly we stayed at Lima, a city with rich-bublles and poor-bubbles also with scattered archeological-islands, but we visited also Cusco, Macchu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. In summary, we tried to made an urban analysis and our production doesn’t want to give answers but instead we do questions to the audience.
