“Urban Court” is a project based on the re-organization of an urban void in Brianza, Italy. Our intention is to develop a park that connects the 4 marginal urban centers without disregarding per-existing activities and farm land. Therefore, the goal is to develop 4 centers surrounding the existing farms in order to offer a variety of work and leisure activities to meet local needs. In this way, what used to be the urban void is now a walkable connection for the 4 small cities with path ways to connect and hard surface platforms to perform leisure activities.

Our Design aims to change negative aspects of the alley by giving them a new use and by linking private and the public spaces, in order to create a unified en-vironment. The major aspect to keep under consideration is obvi-ously privacy, our intention is not to invade or eliminate the fences, but change them, designing them in such a way that they can serve its purpose of dividing while con-temporarily unifying the community by providing sitting areas and giving character to the alley. We de-signed a structure, that runs along the entire alley of-fering sitting areas on both sides and creating focal points in designated area, evolving in a flexible way so that it can be used in different ways by different users.

sary to have a good knowledge of the building and all of its transformation through the years. The historic report includes library and archive research as well as image and map reading. The topographic report is another fundamental set of informations. In fact measuring the arti-fact in the right way is very important, we have experimented many different tools and meth-ods in order to have a correct drawing. After drawing plans and elevation, we started map-ping the different materials and evaluated its integrity.

A reutilization project gives a new life to the built heritage, creating a pleasant environment for university students and transforming the space offering more opportunities.

“Architectural conservation is the process through which the historical, the material and design integrity of built heritage are prolonged through carefully planned interventions.”

The idea is to create a non invasive proj-ect, both visually and physically, in order to preserve the building’s integrity. The project is designed to be connected to Expo 2015 and other events. The design involves dif-ferent University courts and develops as a green neighborhood project.

The idea of having smaller vases creating the big structure is linked to the concept of green lifestyle. Small Expo vases are going to be sold during the event order to imple-ment and promote a change in everyday lifestyle, starting off with small vegetable gardens on every city balcony.

PROJECT

EVOLUTION OF THE TYPICAL 1800 ITALIAN COURT PROJECT EVOLUTION TO PROMOTE WALKABILITY

OPENING THE COURT TOWARDS AN EXISTING PARKSURROUNDING WALLS, OPENING THE VOLUME

This project is designed in the historic center of Milan, Italy. In order to respect norms and requirements the de-sign started from an evolution of the typical Italian court building. We also decided to keep and restore part of the existing building on the site.

This Hybrid building is designed to keep commercial and public spaces within the bottom floors, offering a big thermal space on the middle floors, and residential areas on the upper floors, in order to respect privacy in the top floors and create a direct connection to the city in the bot-tom floors,

The spa has a round path, its volume creates a smaller court inside the building, dividing the existing space and offering different resting areas. The residential areas are organized as duplex type and single floor apartments,offering different plans and views. Soho modules (Small Office Home Office) are organized on the south-eastern side of the building and are devel-oped on 4 floors, keeping the offices on the bottom floors and the residential areas over it.

PROJECT

Dharavi University is a project designed after the re-qualification of the Slum of Dharavi, Mumbai. The project was developed with a general master plan, that involved a new infrastructure, as well as the re-construction of part of the slum. The new overhead train connects the two existing national railways stops creating a new linear center. The University represents an extension of the linear center and is also a walkable connection for Dharavi to the sea. The commercial ground floor is composed by typical two floor model house (workspace and shop), giving continuity to the reconstruction and the exist-ing Dharavi urban pattern.

GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE TORONTO, CANADA FEBRUARY 2014

RETHINKING EXPO 2025 - RESPONSIVE BUILDING CHARRETTE

A group of 10 students from all around the world and from different studies worked for three days on a new concept for Expo 2025.

We believe that World Expo is already a significant opportunity, but it could also be an opportunity for the future, once Expo event is finished. We have researched and shared ideas in what could be improved and what went wrong with previous Expo project. Thus, we developed the idea that Expo 2025 should not only show innovation, but it also has to be a response to local needs as much as being a catalyst to improve the region. Responsive design means a design adaptable in time and that responds to the challeng-es of the future.The new concept for Expo is to recycle what is on site, creating a sustainable environment for the event and, once the event is over be part of the local community. In what way? We imagine an adaptation through time of the different pavilions offering work spaces, com-mercial areas and leisure spaces. Moreover, according to statistics, people spend money buying materials to renovate their houses every 20 years. In order to involve Expo 2025 and making the adaptation of the pavilions possible, the community is going to recycle site materials.

Every country will be called to show their innovations, both inside the pavilion and in their construction systems and creativity. In fact, the new adaptation concept through time and recycling, starts with giving a kit of materials to every country. These materials will be re-cycled by the community to restore their houses while re-adapting the site.

We have researched and shared ideas in what could be improved and what went wrong with previous Expo project. Thus, we developed the idea that Expo 2025 should not only show innovation, but it also has to be a response to local needs as much as being a catalyst to improve the region. Responsive design means a design adaptable in time and that responds to the challeng-es of the future.The new concept for Expo is to recycle what is on site, creating a sustainable environment for the event and, once the event is over be part of the local community. In what way? We imagine an adaptation through time of the different pavilions offering work spaces, com-mercial areas and leisure spaces. Moreover, according to statistics, people spend money buying materials to renovate their houses every 20 years. In order to involve Expo 2025 and making the adaptation of the pavilions possible, the community is going to recycle site materials.

Every country will be called to show their innovations, both inside the pavilion and in their construction systems and creativity. In fact, the new adaptation concept through time and recycling, starts with giving a kit of materials to every country. These materials will be re-cycled by the community to restore their houses while re-adapting the site.

I have been working on the executive final drawings of a major real estate project under construction in Moscow, the Vtb Arena park Residential area. I was headed from the company engineer, Stefano Rocca and with a group of 9 people we were responsible of the executive final drawings of the Hyatt Hotel building (B1) and the underground floors that connect all the 5 buildings. I have dealt with practical issues, related to the organization, management and con-trol of the drawings, with regard to the formal aspects, its content and according to the Bms quality system. I also had a chance to learn and work on the fire prevention strat-egy, in relation to the Russian norms and have acquired a large number of information and tools that will allow me to approach a project differently and more consciously.

Arkitrek; a social enterprise with the objective of conserving nature through design and education, collaborated with local builders and a team of 11 international architecture students to design and build a building that hopes to act as a catalyst for the joint venture between the three villages in the valley and Borneo Eco Tours to create a community-owned tourist destination named Kiulu Farm stay to diversify community income and improve the livelihood of the local farmers.The experimental 2-bedroom, 1-shower-room Eco-lodge combines traditional and modern construction techniques har-nessing the skills of the indigenous people and international design teams passion for modern vernacular. Locally har-vested and treated bamboo was used entirely for the primary and secondary structure above floor level, minimizing the need for plantation and forest timber that may come from unsustainable sources.

Client: Borneo Eco Tours

Building Objectives1. To provide a low-impact, affordable construction alternative to the modern concrete houses that have diluted the traditions of rural Sabah.2. To build local pride in vernacular and cultural knowledge providing secure employment for both genders, strengthening the communities’ resilience to city migration.

To Whom it may Concern:

I am please to write this recommendation on behalf of Martina Manna. Ms. Manna first worked with All Hands Volunteers, Philippines, Inc. as a volunteer in 2nd March 2015.

Upon her arrival, she immediately began supporting our 83-C Core Home Program in which permanent, typhoon-resilient, in-situe homes were constructed for those affected by Typhoon Yolanda ravaged the area. Through her construction and architecture knowledge, Ms. Manna redesigned the foundations of our Core Homes to support their typhoon-resiliency, creating a safe environment for over 40 families in the event of another disaster.

Ms. Manna returned to Project Leyte again in September of 2015. She was immediately hired as a Program Coordinator for an Elementary School build in a relocation site built for families living in the No Build Zone of Tacloban. The school will furthur be used as an evacuation center for the community during the next disaster.

During Ms. Manna’s time as Program Coordintor her leadership skills, construction and architecture knowledge, and problem solving abilities were vital to the program’s success. She oversaw up to 20 volunteers and over 10 local tradesmen a day, while also verifying the structural integrity of the build, and ensuring proper health and safety techniques.

It is therefore, I offer my recommendation of Martina without hesitation or reservation. If any further information is needed, or any questions arise, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

To Whom it may Concern:

I am please to write this recommendation on behalf of Martina Manna. Ms. Manna first worked with All Hands Volunteers, Philippines, Inc. as a volunteer in 2nd March 2015.

Upon her arrival, she immediately began supporting our 83-C Core Home Program in which permanent, typhoon-resilient, in-situe homes were constructed for those affected by Typhoon Yolanda ravaged the area. Through her construction and architecture knowledge, Ms. Manna redesigned the foundations of our Core Homes to support their typhoon-resiliency, creating a safe environment for over 40 families in the event of another disaster.

Ms. Manna returned to Project Leyte again in September of 2015. She was immediately hired as a Program Coordinator for an Elementary School build in a relocation site built for families living in the No Build Zone of Tacloban. The school will furthur be used as an evacuation center for the community during the next disaster.
