1) Placed on the existing barge, a slab rises above a series of columns.

2) The challenge is thus to design a space on this slab.

3) The nature of the building is to educate local residents about urban agriculture as well as providing a space for the cultivation of crops, and serve as a hub for packaging and promotion of urban agriculture. Therefore the orientation of the building is a very important factor in the design.

4) To achieve best possible use of sun light, the building is raised gradually. Occurring in steps and providing a space in each step that can be used as a community garden.

5) The two main green houses are located on the south western, and north eastern sides of the building; the two places that will be showered with unobstructed sunlight.

6) The whole structure is encapsulated in a green environmentally-friendly outer shell, that can provide both natural ventilation and sunlight, and a glass/green roof that can both provide natural light, and effectively collect rain water for irrigation.

In addition to given the building its main charecteristic, the façade also facilitates the structure ’s environmentally green features.

It is designed as a string of trapeze-shaped terraces, placed inversely on one another, forming stretched hexagonal shapes all around the façade, thereby providing the support system for its structure.

These hexagons form gardens that are about 3 feet wide, and are accessed by a series of stairs and access paths that run all around the building, adjacent to the façade.

The hexagonal shapes also provide the opportunity to enhance the aesthetic features of the building’s exterior and better integrate it with its location. By breaking the pattern of the hexagons, an effect is created, giving the illusion that the building actually rises out of the see in a natural, organic way. This is further emphasized by the shape of the hexagons, and their blue glass exterior that implicitly refer to the water from which it rises.

Environmental Features

The glass roof and the glass outer shell, provides sufficient amount of sunlight for the builing.

The double skinned exterior around enclosed spaces, and an atrium in open areas, is used in order to prevent overheating inside of the building.

The cold air from the sea is drawn into the building’s façade, and as it is warmed by the sun it rises up, and it is ventilated through automatically controlled hatches in the glass roof.

Furthermore, the wide façade structure (roughly 3 feet), and the gardens within them, help provide effective shading from direct sunlight, while providing a form of passive heating in colder seasons.

Further environmentally-friendly features include the use of semi-transparent

PV solar panels in the roof, and collection of rainwater, in the green roof area.

This project seeks to bring together various functionalities, while effectively creating a sense of synergy amongst them.Placed on the existing barge, a slab rises above a series of columns lifting the building to the level of the access bridge, while providing access to the sea at the barge level for passengers and goods.Above this slab on the ground floor series of terraces rise up in succession to create community gardens and connect the ground floor to the 1st floor.Here, the sunlight conditions are ideal, and two diagonally place greenhouses provide the controlled spaces within which crop cultivation can take place in an urban environment.Meanwhile, on the ground floor, modern teaching facilities including a library and a laboratory form the educational areas.The whole building is enclosed in a hexagonally shaped façade framing system, and a glass roof, that bring both natural light and natural ventilation to the building.All in all, this project seeks to bring the various natural elements, within the confines of an urban environment, and provide an atmosphere which is ensconced from the hustle and bustle of the city, while at the same time being very much at the heart of the community.

By «Breaking down» the wall we can reorganize the structure and create different orientations.

Different Orientations, provide various pathways whic not only bring a sort of amusement and fun for the residents and the visitors, but it also facilitates the flow of pedestrian and the bicycle movement.

Another great feture of this desing is the creation of different views as well as achieving the maximum use of sun light for all the resident and to avoid the shadows casted by other buildings.

The Great Wall of China ( U r b a n V e r s i o n )

Today’s Shanghai’s Urban Structure is made of rows and rows of giant skyscrapers, which make it look like an Urban version of the Great Wall of China.

These endless rows of Skyscrapers, diminish the movement and the flow of people in the urban environment.

Not only this type of desing, will create only two views, but the skyscrapers are obstructing each other’s views.Moreover they cast huge shadows.

Today in Shanghai, there is a lack of courtyards and green spaces, and the lay out of the buildings, avoids the creation of any central courtyard.

We can Solve these Problems by «Breaking Down» these skyscrapers into smaller segments.

Lack of Free Movement L i m i t e d V i e w s Lack of Green Areas

In this design both the «Vertical» and «Horizontal» green spaces are considered, which will be used to bring Social Gathering Spaces and Relaxation Areas for the occupants. This design also provides a central courtyard for the residential complexes.

The Project is a collaboration between Politecnico di Milano in Italy and the Tongji University in Shanghai.In our design we wanted to preserve the character of Hongkou and to mixed the different types of usage throughout the Master plan.Every few buildings create a Residential Complex, which hosts a public space for its residents and bring the social environment to a more private scale for the reisdents. These residential complexes also include commercial activities that would atract more lively hood to the block.The pathways are designed to create an access throughout the site. Moreover there are public social gathering spaces between the buildings, which would create a friendly environment for the residents and the visitors.Vertical Social Gathering spaces are made by voids in the buildings. This will help to bring the community together and to minimize the distance for social environments for all the residents. Moreover it will create a nice and warm atmosphere for all.

The project was, designing a Theater and Hotel Complex in an existing building in Rome. The Building is formed in three different parts, built between 1850 and 1880, but actually they have a common entry from Del Velabro Street. The three old buildings varied in, number of floors, wall structural distances and the iner floor distances. The main task in the project was to maintain the original facade and redevelop the inner part of the buildings as one complex. This was achieved by creating a completely new structure within the wall and connecting them to the facade. The project included the Architectural design and an extensive Structural Analysis, as well as construction details.ct was upgraded to the Detail Design I.

Environmental Analysis



The propose of the project was to design two blocks of buildings. One residential and one office with environmentally friendly features. By orienting the building correctly we had to maximize the use of sun light, both for harvesting energy by Photo-Voltaic Solar panels and also for natural lighting of the rooms, without overheating the building. By analysing the path of the winds we also had to make the building suitable for Natural Ventilation.By Implementing Giovani and Olgyay’s Chart and by using programs such as, Archisun, Comfort, RAFIS, Idea, RET Screen, Casanova, and Heliodon, we could achieve our goal with more accurate results.

Sketches And Analysis


During the course of «Theories & Techniques of Representation» in Master’s of Architecture at Politecnico di Milano, our project was to analyze the structure of a building of our choice structurally, through a set of drawing, sketches and illustrations.

These drawings needed to help us and others to figure out the building’s structure, construction and formation.

In order to understand the structure of the Hearst Tower behind its facades more clearly, I tried to illustrate the building from different views and varios angles. Every single one of those drawings helped me to discover new and different elements of the building.

The Perspective drawings assisted me in grasping the shape and the form of the building, while the Isometric view were extremely helpful in understanding the building’s structural connection, both in the tower and between t

The propose of the project was to refurbish and conserve an old multi-storey apartment building in the city of Århus. The design was not only excluded to the refurbishment, but also adding an extension on the backside of the building that would house new kitchen and bathroom facilities. This was done by designing a modern extension to the building that also blended in with the old construciton, and brought the best of modern architecture and mixed it with the old. Later on the Scheme Design and Detail Design Phases were made. In addition technical installations were calculated and respective plans were drawn for them. Quantity surveying, cost estimation, project planning, project contracting, and building site management plans were also made. Later on the project was upgraded to Detail Design I, which included local authority drawings. In the next phase, Detail Design II, working drawings were made for the construction of different parts, in our particular case we made the steel structure drawings and the roof construction drawings.
