WANGFUJING
Th e geographical position starts from the context of old
Beijing, introduces the current texture of quadrangles on
the west side and Hutong streets into the plot and inte-
grates together. Th en, on the east side, form a complete
façade along the main street and echo with large-scale
street space. Meanwhile, architectural height changes
with textures, reduces from eastern façade toward the
southwest, which makes for the integration between the
new building and urban environment of both sides and
increases the sunshine area. Th e building opens toward
the Forbidden City to provide nice view to the interior
space. On the concave space in the southwest of building
exist two small gardens, surrounded by the building and
getting a previous peace in the blatant city. Benefi t from
the layout of back sets, majority of apartments have out-
door patio, green yard or sunshine room and it seems to
live in the quadrangle, which can make people feel tradi-
tional life of Old Beijing by the special spatial experience.

JNN CULTURAL CENTER
Th e Architecture is devided into three parts, grand the-
atre, library and exibition center. Th e building will set
back in the south east part of the plot to leave space for
the entrance square. In this project i was incharged to
work on the facade skin,from the development of the
design to the installation. Started diff erent part of the
facade following needs in light, turning the facade from
a decoration into an element that express diff erent qual-
ity of light and space insinde. I have been working in
parallel with the facade contractors studying the tecni-
cal aspect of the facade panels testing diff erent ways of
realizing them. A full scale mockup was designed and
built in order to experiment with diff erent approaches
in securing the complex facade panels to the structure
and glass curtain wall system. Th e secondary structure
for panelling system was a discussion of much debate,
shift ing from grid layout to material choices in order to
optimize strength, weight and tectonic connections.
Finally, aft er all the technical decision have been made, i
have been working with the lighting design consultant to
give the fi nal night outlook to the building.

LMC9
Th e project is a hotel complex located in the Makkah
City, the most important site for Islam. Th e main ele-
ments involved into the design are the direction of the
holy mosque Al Haram, magnetically orienting the
buildings, the presence of the mountain as background
of the scene, the dialogue with the scale of the urban sur-
roundings, and the city’s colour palette. Th e inspiration
for the architecture comes from the rocky conformation
of the territory, the memory of ancient towers in the de-
sert and the mirage as vision and hope. Th e volume of
the project introduces an intermediate scale between the
city and the mountain, where the functions are organ-
ized in a podium inserted into the mountain (bus ter-
minal, parking and Shopping Mall) with 9 hotel towers
on the top (hotels, apartments and services), plus the en-
trance building and the mosque. Th e central plaza is a re-
interpretation of the classic geometrical Arabic garden,
which is overlapped to a contemporary functional layer.
Th e façade perforation pattern is a reinterpretation of
the Islamic musharabieh, generated from an interaction
between a homogeneous grid of windows and a tradi-
tional decorative texture. At night a subtle and pulsating
lighting animation will appear on the central part of the
façade, hosting the prayer rooms, drawing a kind of cal-
ligraphy on the façade, like a prayer made of light.

BLDG JIAN
Th e concept of Villa Jian came from the local architec-
ture word called “Jian”. In the local architecture culture,
there was one commonly used for building space base
unit that is “Jian”, one “Jian” represented a width of about
3.3 m to 3.6 m of spatial scale, this word “Jian” not only
represented a space base unit, but also strongly linked
with the local traditional form of construction. Th e cli-
ent‘s requirement was to build 11 “Jian”. Th us, there was
a given condition of designing a big house with a double-
slope roof covering 11 “jian”. Th e building consisted of
main two basic functions: offi ce space and exhibition
space, both of the functions were limited to a semi-open
private property. Th e starting point was how to combine
the semi-open exhibition space with a semi-closed offi ce
space under a single roof. Th e idea was fi nally to divide
both the exhibition and the offi ce into two parts: pub-
licexhibition and private exhibition, public offi ce and
private offi ce. Public exhibition and offi ce space were
placed in the fi rst fl oor, and the private exhibition and
private offi ce were placed in the second fl oor. Th e entire
function spaces have become ideally an X-form in sec-
tion; the center position of the X has become the hub of
linking two functions and two stories. A wide staricase
that can be used for projections, performace.

THE LIGHT BOX
Located in a residential area in Taichun that in the next
years will be deeply trasformed, the project should re-
lata with a temporary context, accomodating it’s future
changes. Th e actual surrounding were anyway really
chaotic in diff erent aspects, typology of buildings, colors,
materials, for this reason we kept a basic shape for this
project, elemental, a perfect cube, a mile stone in this fast
evolving environment. We focused like this to create an
introvers world, intimate world composed by showroom,
offi ces, temporary exibition space and performance.

ALUART forum
Competition to design the exibition Th e primer focus of
our designing process was off course the quality of ex-
hibition spaces. We decided to follow the “white box”
concept to introduce sterile environment providing un-
determining background for any type of exposition. Th e
idea of our disposition layout aims towards an ambient
feeling emerging from combination of purity of exhibi-
tion spaces and urban entropy of a city street. Permanent
exhibition was positioned into the top fl oor where roof
structure creates north-oriented sky-lights.Temporary
exhibitions are divided into two alternated typologies.
Upper one is placed in the third fl oor and provides a
“white box” space lit by combination of artifi cial and nat-
ural light. Its fl oor plan has a pure rectangular shape and
inner space doesn’t introduce any invasive volumetry or
disturbing facade openings. Lower temporary exhibi-
tion is connected with an entrance lobby in the ground
fl oor. Th is connection can be kept open and so provide
spectacular space for opening ceremonies and events. In
this case the northern and southern facade of the ground
fl oor can be open and so creates a full width space fl oat-
ing from the city street into a prominent greenery of an
academic ground. East area of the second fl oor is the
building’s major architectural space attempting to quote
urbanity of surrounding exteriors. It is three fl oors high
room utilizing main staircase running vertically along
south wall and providing entrances to upper galleries and
hig exibition space at the same time.

LOCUS AMOENUS
Th e entry of the competition was about design a contem-
porary garden for the city of Vittorio Veneto, located in
the most industrialized area of Italy, an area where the
concrete of the industry already more than 20 years ago
kick out from theyir place beautiful gardens and the ag-
ricoltural landscape has been transformed into an indus-
trial one. Th e crisis has come, lots of industries moved to
eastern europe, so a lot of concrete skeleton remain on
this destroied landscape. For these competition o wrote a
nove, where i tell a story of these gardens that they were
kicked out from theyr own land, but now, are coming
back to take again what belong to them, trying like this to
give a new chance to the society witch lives in this region,
to built a new, clean, and environmental friendly system
and economy.

VENETOLAND
For this project I decided to work on the Veneto
region,which is my region, and the place where i grew
up. Its landscape has changed so much in the last 50
years, originally a rural territory, it became the richest
part of italy thanks to industrial development, and now
that also the industrial epoc has gone, what remains of
it are diff used prefabricated buildings, empty industrial
areas, shopping malls and urban sprawl. By watching the
landscape we can understand a lot about who inhabits it,
and by observing the man we can understand the land-
scape where he lives. Starting from this assumption I can
say that the quailty of the landscape is the base of the
identity of the population and viceversa. Th is part was
fundamental, because the analysis of a social and terri-
torial situation can not be based on statistic data. Pho-
tography allowed me to speak with people, and better
understand the space where they live. Th e role of the
landscape in the management of the territory is becom-
ing everyday more a requirement. With this research i
do not intend to save Veneto, but i tried to do a project
who serve as detector of ther egion’s landscape situa-
tion, a land where social and economical practice have
changed leaving behind them strong negative elements,
but trough a conscious project also the bad peculiarity
can be turned into a resource.

TOPSY-TURVY
Th e project realized for the ex railways deposit took form
from intrinsic features of the area.Th e main characteristic
of it is its composition, an embankment which is 4 meters
higher from the city level. Th e area is close to the Sile river
-which cuts longitudinally a big part of Veneto region- it
is powered by springs that devoid the high plain to the low
plain. Th e last fundamental element is the most common
housing typology diused in Veneto, which according the
analysis, is still the most requested; we are talking about
single or two family houses. We implemented new syner-
gies between public an private spaces by weaving these ele-
ments in the project area, ensuring the constant presence
of citizens inside the park. Th e embankment bring us to
built underground houses with small gardens.
Every citizen, would be free to plant in his garden his pre-
ferred vegetation, and it will aect the park inuencingit by
dening dierent relationships between private and public
space. Th e underground path will be exclusively for pedes-
trians, and it will be extended trough all the embankment,
shaping a uniform grid that will ll the area with dierent
functions. Also the commercial elements will be under-
ground, small shops that will allow the area to have two
dierent levels of use: physical and functional.
Th e path allows an eventual agglomeration of houses, and
shop extensions, leaving to the people wide opportunity to
modify the sistem depending on what will be the market
or the inhabitants needs.
