I think that every architectural project has to relate with three main issues: - individuals, who live, use, interact, like, blame and pay for the project. - green, which is around us and should be used with a mutual benefit. - buildings, which can define or deny spaces, create boundaries or open new paths. This issues are solved in my projects through design, materials, technology, energy strategies and use of natural elements

I am a young architect, previous student of Politecnico di Milano, getting into the labour market after an in-
ternship experience introduced me to the real issues of buildings and architecture.
I think that every architectural project has to relate with three main issues:
- i n d i v i d u a l s , who live, use, interact, like, blame and pay for the project.
- g r e e n , which is around us and should be used with a mutual benefit.
- b u i l d i n g s , which can define or deny spaces, create boundaries or open new paths.
During my university and work experience I had the opportunity to be part of many group projects in English and
Italian, which helped me improve my personal skills. I am an honest, efficient and hard working individual, a student
with excellent evaluations both in engineering and architectural works. I have lived on my own for 5 years in dif-
ferent countries, being able to fit in different situations and cultures. I love travelling, exchanging knowledge and
opinions, getting to know new people and their way of life. I am highly ambitious, proud of my skills and knowledge
and always bringing a (huge) smile to work. My interests and hobbies are: traveling, cooking, cinema and sports.

The master thesis shows how the use of electric vehicles as storage for PV panels
helps the reduction of buildings consumptions and costs. The district was designed
to increase energy production and limit the consumption, with a functional mix that
includes offices, residential and commercial buildings. At this point a Performing
Arts Centre was designed, providing the area with a new landmark that is connecting
the urban sector with the new park of Scalo Farini. The building has been studied
and analysed under different perspective: architectural, structural, energetic,
daylighting, detailing, services and materials. The panels of the façade and the
shape of the main stairs have been optimized using a parametric software, provid-
ing best performances and aesthetic appearance. The guideline of the project was
energy performance and user comfort, which was achieved also with natural elements
which are penetrating the building and highlighting the public spaces.

Designed during my exchange studies in Chile, this building had an approach
and a design process completely different to the usual. The first day I worked on
a scale model, composed by 80 wooden bricks in scale, in order to elaborate a
shape with an uniform movement of those bricks. Once shape was completed, it
was modelled using Grasshopper and Rhino. My shape had a progressive rotation
on the y axis(blue arrow)and a progressive movement on the z axis (red ar-
row), the movement is an overhang on the x axis. Once the shape was modelled
we had to design a building that was keeping the shape as close as possible
to the original one. My idea was to have a series of pre-fabricated concrete
boxes on the scale of the wooden bricks (9x5x3m)which can create a living unit
alone or paired with the next element. The seismic resistant structure and
the stairs were placed behind the building, in order to preserve the façade.

The new learning centre is placed in front of the Politecnico campus in Lec-
co, close to the city centre and the nearby lake. The goal is to connect two
parallel paths, shortening their distances, becoming a road, a bridge and an
integrated part of the city. A system of open and closed areas, accessible to
anyone, enhances a concept of urban continuity that goes far beyond physical
and dynamic aspects, being not only a new space for the students but also a
new service for everyone. The building creates a new link between two different
levels, in order to open up new spaces to the city and create organic fluidity
by eliminating all sorts of physical and mental barriers. Formed by the inter-
section of three volumes dedicated to three distinct uses, the project is in-
ternally presented as an organic element organized to relate in a dialectical
way with the pre-existing elements and with the context in which it is inserted.

The project is located in the heart of the city of Milan, near the subway
station “Crocetta” line M3 and biggest hospital in Milan. The area needs an
urban regeneration and a resolution of the visual problems due to the pre-ex-
isting fronts without windows nor decorations. The architecture wants to both
create a new public space and preserve the visual feature of the area. The
space in between the buildings and the presence of the sky interrupting the
continuity of the urban fabric. The façades of the two towers are twisting
towards west in order to be visible from the metro station exit, increasing
the visibility and accessibility. The colours are matching with the shades
of red and brown typical of the city of Milan From an analysis of the needs
of people living the neighbourhood, we decided to place both public and pri-
vate functions inserting both housing and a children’s medical centre.

MODELLING
Creating a model of the architectural project allows the architect, the
studio, the client and the committee to better understand the whole pro-
ject. The model helps the architect in the first place, which put his theo-
ries on trial, transforming the ideas in reality under the laws of physics.
The student can better understand famous architectures, its essentials and
the architect’s choices and reasons. It is not only about the exterior and
the visualization of the 3D model, but the modelling of the interior spaces
helps the understanding of circulation, heights and visual beauties. Most
of the models I created can be open, in order to appreciate the internal
architecture, its components, the functional spaces and the distribution.
The most important features of a buildings are highlighted and composed
with precision, as the comparison with people figures inserted in the model.
