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.

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.
