PROJECTS
CYPA BEIJINGApartment building refurbishment & facade renovation with OBRA Architects
+ EXTERIORThe existing building is comple-tely covered with a thin permea-ble skin-wall constructed of local Beijing brick masonry. The brick is laid in a linear bond leaving every-other brick out, this gives the wall a permeability of almost 40%, al-lowing light and air to move throu-gh. The existing wall of the building is finished in red mosaic which will be visible through the holesof the new brick skin-wall. Lights can be installed between the old and new facades to make the buil-ding glow with a red punctilious light in the evenings, almost resembling a painting by Camille Pissarro with great visual vibrancy in the con-trast between the gray-blue of the brick and the red of the light scaling through the holes. A simple but yet striking new image for the building.Resting on the ground approxima-tely 80cm away from the perimeter of the existing building, this light new skin with only 6cm of thickness need only support its own weight, this allows it to be very inexpen-sive in construction and simple to de- sign. It can be tied back to the existing structure periodically utilizing steel rods or, if conside-red desirable, modest balconies attached to the new windows.The windows bringing light into the apartments are enlarged to maxi-mize luminosity to the interiors and have the possibility of becoming small balconies which could provi-de a means of expanding the small units whilst also connecting the existing structure to the new wall.
+ LANDSCAPEThe landscape is designed for ma-ximum simple beauty, and flexibility of use. Crowding the free space sur-rounding the building with too many objects would make it seem small and uncomfortable, so we propose consideing a very simple mini- ma-list landscape intervention. Utilizing the same blue brick proposed for the new facade of the building and strips of grass, we suggest creating a new linear-pattern pavement that would make the space seem de-eper. The economy of the solution proposed is also complemented by the practicality of its use, being largely empty it could be used for seating under trees in patin furnitu-re, for children playing freely in the space as well as any other activity imaginable. To properly define the space a low wall is proposed along
+ GROUND FLOORThe design proposes a new covered loggia in front of the building towards the street, this provides a new space of transition between the exte-rior and the interior and helps to create a well-mediated ex-perience between public and private, giving ac- cess on opposite sides to the conve-nience store and the lounging area for the residents on the other side. From the elevator lobby in the middle it is possi-ble to access the two tempo-rary-stay duplex apartments provided to the south.
+ INTERIORSThe apartments provide maxi-mum design flexibility for their small size. One possibility would be to furnish the spa-ces with OBRA’s Urbia Fur-niture System which makes use of pre-fabricated digitally-manufactured plywood furni-ture and partitions, these are economical to fabricate indu-strially, fast to install and adju-stable to the chaining requi-rements of modern interiors.
Expansion of the city of Pavia: project for an universitarian library Master thesis
Roman Pavia, Renaissance Pavia, neoclassical Pavia: three stages consistent, cohesive three stages in the development of a rec-
ognizable structure, three phases equally aimed at the procrastination of logical paradigms, devoid of contradictions. The project for
a library expansion at the University of Pavia rereads the “city as history”, its linear evolution, rigorous, essential to the foundation
of a compact and conceptually ideal which is confirmed from time to time over the centuries. Basic element for characterization and
determination of the core constructed, reference module of a plant intelligible, the isolated urban square is nothing more than that
given dimensional, functional and compositional, irreducible entity that explicit the elementary law of the form of the city, the his ra-
tional system, its architectural type repeatable characters and components of the central plan. The isolated piece therefore becomes
a self - and at the same time employees - a practice of perfect joints and the city, in the totality of the songs that make it up, is the
synthesis of individual units grouped, a multiplicity condensed. From the particular to the general, and then again, according to a re-
verse process, from the general to the particular logic of the urban construction is the same as that systematic dialectic that elevates
the university complex as an emblem of the Statute of aggregation, potentially indefinitely extensible . The new library reiterates the
principle morpho-typological described: fixed on regular geometric figure to quadratum, the home of books takes as its genesis the
type of the cloister, the study area of the block, the architectural archetype becomes indication of the rule dimensional around which
meet the different services, the living cells, the dispensers collective commemoration of the street with arcades, and reference tracks
constitute the support of the principle-processing mechanism that defines the free areas and reconquest, facing impoverishment
century , the authentic urban significance of Pavia.
Portable pavillion for the Politecnico di Milano 150th aniversary International workshop
The pavilion is designed to be portable. Its real location does not affect nor preclude other possible different urban condi-
tions. Depending on the place in which it is unable to be reconstructed scalar element of open spaces and together from
time to time to adapt to them.
A simple mechanism lifts constituted by a retractable staircase ensures opening and closing. Although the share of the
main entrance remains always the same, the space vacated by the footbridge, designed to be the connection to the rec-
tory, itself becomes the entrance of the pavilion, which will take place through a simple elevator technician.

The aluminum frame is cov-
ered with a translucent poly-
carbonate cover that collects
the light of day, but at night,
thanks to a complex sys-
tem of artificial lighting, the
spreads in the open space.
These are the same move-
ments of the spectators along
the ramps lifts and downhill,
enliven the surface of the fa-
cade thanks to the vibrations
of the light beams projected
on them.
This adds to this diaphanous
volume that interacts well
with the city through a dense
network of long-distance rela-
tionships.
It is therefore a fifth that on
the one hand physically cov-
ers the front of the Polytech-
nic, on the other hand em-
phasizes the character of its
multiplicity and the cognitive
system of its own culture.
The ground projection of the
volume forms a large foyer
on an urban scale that dou-
bles the current and unused
atrium has become through
the years without a real and
significant physical relation-
ship with the city.

geous and radical, but at the height

stretched between two eras, telling of
ancient echoes but drawing a bridge

Project for a small museum in Milan
The project deals with the
theme of a small museum,
located on the outskirts of
Milan.
The gestures were essential-
ly two: the first was to give a
boundary. This was done with
two walls, almost perpendicu-
lar to one another, a simple
wall and one inhabited.
The second step, once de-
fined the outline, was to op-
erate within the giant septum,
placing two complementary
but distinct buildings of dif-
ferent sizes and functions.
Both buildings are limited by
the same transverse dimen-
sion of the wall and create an
intermediate space, a court-
yard, where everything con-
verges.
The southern part of the mu-
seum, the largest, includes
a café, the ticket office, ser-
vices and a small bookshop
on the ground floor, while the
first floor there is the main
exhibition hall, open plan.
The smallest body instead is
compressed between the ex-
tremes of the wall, include a
small auditorium/secondary
exhibition room and is sus-
pended, freeing the ground
floor for outdoor exhibitions.
The solid and compact muse-
um, the adjacent public library
and the park redesigned want
to form a closed system but
at the same time open to the
public, they want to define the
paths of the area, be evident,
and add those functions that
can revitalize a part of this
former industrial area in the
outskirts of Milan.
Artist redidence at Politecnico
The project involves the con-
struction of a small building
intended to contain an artist
residecency located within
the campus Bovisa of Politec-
nico di Milano in the area of
the parking lots.
The small study is character-
ized by a reinforced concrete
structure with exterior insu-
lation. The concrete can be
made in the factory to pro-
duce the prefabricated pieces
while in shipyard use in-situ
concrete has the advantage
of creating fewer problems in
the nodes between the ele-
ments, that is, at those points
where they join beams and
pillars.
The body of the building is
presented gabled asymmetri-
cal. The openings are hidden
behind a transparent curtain
of spruce wood plotted verti-
cally around the entire build-
ing and that modulates the
light rays.
The building is raised off the
ground thanks to the rein-
forced concrete pillars that
allow a complete isolation as
no trade takes place with the
ground while the air keeps
the healthy structure.
Inside is placed a small loft.
For design according to sus-
tainability criteria the build-
ing orients itself in the best
possible way. To the south
abundant windows (of which
one upstairs shielded from
external shading), while to
the north are placed the bath-
room, the entrance and the
staircase.

Project for a private complex with Ghirardi ArchitettiAssociati
The project involves the con-
struction of two buildings for
private clients, a house and a
family liturgical chapel.
The plot of land where the
project is located insists on a
gentle slope, in the hills in the
countryside of Parma. It was
decided to place the Chapel
at the peak of the hill while
the house is at the foot of the
hill. The spaces of the house
are distributed mainly on the
ground floor according to a
solar thermal optimum ori-
entation. A complementary
rdouble height barrel-vaulted
body crosses through the
building in the middle of its
width at the ends and has
two large glass walls that
serve as visual framing of the
surrounding countryside, as
well as providing a calibrated
light to the interior.
The principal material used
for the house is the local
travertine obtained from a
quarry located nearby.
The chapel is located at the
apex of the gentle slope of
the plot of the project. So
we focused on the ascent
to the chapel itself with a re-
ally extended stair maintain-
ing the chapel itself formally
very simple, as if it were a
big concrete monolith to be
adored. In it, only one altar
in raw wood fills the space,
while the light enters through
circular openings cut into the
cover.
