Academic Resume 2019

The Design Unit 1 foresaw to operate in
an area of the Turinese context: Street
Plava to Mirafiori. The approach to be
used has been that to select an
architecture from a list of names chosen
by the Professor of the course and "to
operate as the study would operate in the
area." Our group chose Ensamble Studio.
Departing from this we have imagined
the pre-existing buildings of Street Plava
as artifacts to dismantle and
re-assemble, according to the design
necessities: "Re-ensambling Street
Plava" was the final title of the project
and the philosophy that we followed up
to the end.
The operation to dismantle parts of
building and to reassemble them on
others has mostly allowed us of
re-densify a part of project area and to
leave another part to the natural
environment, increasing the green
spaces avaiable to the inhabitants of the
area.On a design level we decided to
leave the ground floor free so that the
complex of buildings was completely
permeable and favoured the pedestrian
mobility in it. Despite the external form
has been unchanged (blocks of
prefabricated cls), inside the spaces
have been reconsidered to give more
dynamism to a predominantly residential
zoneresidential with new activities and
poles of aggregation.The approach didn't
concern only the design part: the graphic
part has also been taken care of as if the
studio had produced the drawings and
schemes, therefore a research of the
bibliography of projects of the Spanish
study was fundamental and has given a
strong input to the work of the group.
