ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Today a big part of rivers are
left in a bad state and they ate
often used as a discharge for
wastes coming from industries
and cities.
Nevertheless, most of the cities
are crossed by rivers and water-
trasport still has a strong po-
tential in terms of sustainability,
expecially thinking that a train
can carry the equivalent of about
40 trucks, whil
e a riverboat can take over the
load of 85 ones. Moreover, it
need 1000 Kg of fuel to move
50 tons of goods by road for
a stretch of 1000 km, and the
quantity decrease to 515 Kg for a
train and to 394 for a ship. That
means that a ship requires the
40% of the fuel.
URBAN PLANNING
QUARTO CAGNINO - MILAN
URBAN DESIGN LAB - BACHELOR

The project starts from a specific
on-site analysis in Quarto Cag-
nino, old agricultural and small
scale neighborhood in the west
side of Milan
Around ‘60s, a huge 350 meter
modernist building following Cor-
busier “Unité d’habitation” princi-
ples was built.
Nowadays the outscale complex
represents a strong useless bar-
rier for the area.
The project starts from so-
cial and direct on site analysis
following principles of  density
distribution, accessibility, hu-
man scale, visibility, facilities
variety, open street frontage,
public space, mixing use and
participation.

    ISLANDS INTO THESTREAM CITY FRAGMENTS DRIFTING FROM BALTIC TO BLACK SEA MASTER DEGREE THESIS PROJECT BETWEEN THE TWO SEAS The project aims to re-estabilish water connection between Baltic and Black sea by Vistula, Bug, Pripyat, Dnieper river and Dnie- per-Bug canal requalification in- creasing cultural, economic, social and touristic exchanges between Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Bal- tic and Black Sea regions. KIEV AS A HUB Being Kiev the midpoint of the waterway connection and the fi- nal destination of the Paneuro- pean Corridor 5 (Lisbon-Kiev) how will the city change during the next decades?Which role would the river have in this new sce- nario? WHY ON WATER? Thanks to the economical devel- opment triggered by the Corridor 5, the river could become a fur- ther dimension where this devel- opment can be spread. Kiev will be completely involved in it, becoming a big harbour, an archipelago of islands. THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT “Floating architectural network” made by platforms carrying on programs for the city, moving along the waterway, combining with other off-shore/on-shore activites, generating unexpected new realities. The floating caravan can stand in a place or move somewhere else, being always different, dissolving boudaries, going drifting.

    ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY Today abig part of rivers are left in a bad state and they ate often used as a discharge for wastes coming from industries and cities. Nevertheless, most of the cities are crossed by rivers and water- trasport still has a strong po- tential in terms of sustainability, expecially thinking that a train can carry the equivalent of about 40 trucks, whil e a riverboat can take over the load of 85 ones. Moreover, it need 1000 Kg of fuel to move 50 tons of goods by road for a stretch of 1000 km, and the quantity decrease to 515 Kg for a train and to 394 for a ship. That means that a ship requires the 40% of the fuel.
