Academic Resume 2019

The Bachelor thesis project was about
the design of a building in an historic
context (Modica, Sicily) that worked both
as a chocolate museum and a covered
food market. The concept started from
the relationship between the notion of
concave/convex, strongly present in the
baroque sicilian architecture, and visual
cones.
Considering that the tutor of this thesis
was a structures Professor we focused
on the structural part of the project. The
result was a concrete artifact that
resembled the Pier Luigi Nervi’s airplane
hangars in a certain way. The building
resolves itself in a covered space, that
has a market function, and in a first floor
part that includes a museum designed
as a sensory path, and a terrace standing
in front of the sicilian panorama.
