Velum
The hearth is a place of community, the centre of human relationships and functions. This archetypal form of dwelling gives rise to Velum: a self-sufficient structure in which Antrax becomes the contemporary hearth.Two inclined roof planes define a 22 sqm volume organized around a central core that concentrates the main functions. Compact yet dynamic, the […]
Green Screen Cinema Corso
The project stems from the desire to transform a former cinema into an experimental contemporary art laboratory, restoring unity to a once-fragmented architectural structure. The building’s memory is linked to the present through a process of emptying and regeneration, in which the void becomes the true stage set: a central courtyard that recalls the ancient […]
Nidus
A big shadow of Negrar wine
We like to think that Vine, the mother of wine, is the element that would introduce the visitor into a cultural promenade, which is articulated between the volumes of a winery built in different eras.The suggestion of Lucio Fontana’s paintings, with the search of space and light beyond the canvas, leads the design choices in […]
Stairway to heaven
A very tall building is inevitably related to the sky, but also with the city in which it is inserted, usually hyper-densified.

Dante Alighieri Primary School
The proposed building is compact and defined in its primitive form (a box with a precise rhythm of voids) that visually refers to the ventilation openings of the barns, typical structure of the area. The design approach consists in creating a new volume that gives character to the entire area, resulting in a new identity […]
Bologna Shoah Memorial

H U T A N
The installation presents a controlled, urban nature that recovers its most secret dimension through the light which becomes the catalyst for the re-discovery of the natural element. The space in which the installation is developed becomes a suggestion for a way of planning human intervention, where the life cycle of constructive elements do not obstruct […]
