Architettura e Composizione Architettonica I

This is the first assigned project; architectural composition and space organisation are the main concepts the project investigates. The site given for this task is an unsettled squared lot of 1600 m2, and the design has to be suitable for a single family house with four members, including all the living spaces specified by the assignment.

Jørn Utzon’s Silkeborg Museum is one of the outstanding unbuilt projects of the 20th century, designed to house the work of Asger Jorn. Inspired by the Yungang caves near Datong in China, the Silkeborg Museum, with its bulb-shaped galleries, was intended to liberate the art within sensually curved spaces, conceiving the ramps as smooth art-paths. An approach to architectural experience that is only now becoming more fully developed with the advent of 3- di-mensional computer aided design.

The aim of the project is to study the unrealised Silkeborg Museum by Jørn Utzon in order to suggest an executive approach for its eventual realisation. The original project has been divided into 3 parts: the drop-shaped caves, renamed “Tulips”, the ramps and the beams. In the end, a prototype of each solution has been realised in concrete in scale 1:2.

The project is a church in Ørestad South, the new city district located in the south-east suburbs of Copenhagen. The process involves different concepts in order to create a building where the structural system, the acoustics, the functions and the aesthetics affect each other to create a unified whole. The purpose is to create an inviting and accessible building that makes room for both religious and non-religious activities.

It is one of the church committees fundamental aspirations that the church will have a high degree of interaction with the city, the citizens, and the community in general. The church should be outreaching and extrovert in its bid to encourage as many people as possible to use it – not solely in connection with religious ceremonies, but also as a place on contemplation, an alternative to an otherwise hectic everyday life, and in connection with other activities, such as teaching and scouts. Consequently, the church is envisioned as a church centre in which the sacral room is a part of a greater whole and should be open 24 hours everyday.

ørestad church - copenhagen - 2007

A steel structure is considered as it could be integrated more with the ceiling and the space within the building, with a white fireproofing surface, and still be seen as a clearly readable structural system. At the same time it is interesting to work with a visible steel structure within the church building. StaadPro is then used again to define the dimension of the beams. Here an I-beam with the outline dimension of 800 mm x 400 mm with a middle flange of 200 mm is chosen both for the structural purpose of it being able to carry the roof, but also to keep the solid expression of the structure inside the church . The StaadPro model shows problems with to much displacement at the south façade, where the structure is hanging over a glass façade. Therefore additional bearing columns are added in each side of the building. These beams don’t take focus from the beam structure and can be used to carry the glass facades as well.The structure now shows to be within the limits both in terms of service and failure conditions. The results show some high internal stresses, these are not beyond the yielding stresses of the steel, but they could be lowered further, thereby removing some material of the profile by placing reinforcement at strategic places.

It is very important to have good acoustic qualities for speech and music in the sacral room. The Catt acoustic simulation is to verify that the final design fulfils these requirements and check if the location for the organ and priest provides good sound pressure distribution, reverberation time and avoids echoes in the room. These results are only a rough approximation since the program used has different limitations. After the 3d model was made using Rhino it had to be exported as a more simpli-fied version to minimize geometric mistakes and the time of calculation. The final results show a reverberation time of 0.98 sec, which is good since it is within the 0.5-1.0 border for good speech acoustics and just below the 1.2-2.5 that is optimal for music.

DWELLING IN TIME_ retreat studio for a painter

Using architecture as a medium for examining certain central phenomenological issues, the project will develop an understanding of dwelling in relation to an experience of time, within a specific landscape context. The project is concerned with the architectural design of a simple dwelling with space for a retreat/studio for a painter. Beyond providing for the basic needs of accommodating one person, plus possibly a companion, the dwelling should in its design evoke an understanding of the place and of time. The simple building of approximately 25-35 m2 should include the essential elements of dwelling, fire for heating and cooking and water for washing and toilet facilities, with a sleeping possibility for 1-2 persons and a work, recreation and social space. The construction and choice of materials may take into consideration environmental impact.

We confirm that the values given herein have been Issued on:determined following the PHPP methodology and basedon the characteristic values of the building. The calculations signed: with PHPP are attached to this application.

At the beginning of the process, general investigations on heat gains and losses are needed in order to integrate the aesthetical qualities of the project with some potential sustainable solutions. First, an investigation concerning the windows’ surface on particular facades is done. In order to investigate an exemplar case that could be consi-dered realistic both for the site configuration and for our vision on the future dwellings, a symbolic building of 5500 m2 gross has been studied in 3 main different configuration: this floor area is organised into 2, 4 and 6 storeys, whereeach of these 3 cases refers to fixed depths. The results that have been obtained show that the heat gains increase as much as the building reaches the maximum high; then a very high and compact building would fulfil easier the requirements. But as far as the analysis of the site showed a very calm and natural landscape in the area, such a high element is to be avoided because it would ruin the good qualities of this area. The next investigation wants to discover whe-ther turning a building 45° the energy consumptions change radically or not. The reasons to turn the buildings could be several: not only a more various and dynamic layout would be created in the site plan, but this approach would also allow the building to gain sunlight from 2 directions (south-east and sount-west) instead of only from the south, and this would also allow to refer more to the site thanks to the possi-bility of having different views to the area.

PHPP is a design software which contains a series of tools for calculating energy balances, designing comfortable ventilation, calculating the heating and cooling load, summer comfort calculations and many other tools for reliable design of PassivHaus dwellings. It also includes extra spreadsheets for modelling compact service units and mechanical cooling.

Month Average spreadsheet has been used in the early design fases to investigate initial impacts on the energy demand when changing orientation and window area. The spreadsheet is a simplified calculation of the energy demand in a building, that’s why this is good for initial calculations concerning different design ideas. After doing the PHPP calculations, we have tried to do the calculations in Month Average Spreadsheet with the same parameters as the PHPP calculation in order to see the difference between the simplified calculation and the detailed one. The calculation shows an energy demand that is more than twice as big as the PHPP calculation. Part of this has to do with the fact that PHPP can calculate using heat recovery and Month Average cannot. The simplified calculation also means a lot in the calculated increased energy demand. PHPP is not a design tool in the sense that you use it during the design phase, but this calculation is made late in the process and on the basis of this calculation some things might have to be changed .

The calculations in RELUX only concerns natural lighting, so if additional work were to be done artificial lighting could be an area to detail further on. Overall the apartment has a light area on the 2. Floor in the living room that are very satisfying and in the bedrooms the light conditions are more moderate, here it is assumed the spa-ces are mostly used for homework and sleeping. The good indoor light conditions helps minimising the energy demand in the building and thus contributing to meeting the requirements of the passive house standard.

The project is to design a sports center to answer to the needs of the new quarter in a polyfuncional building: a sports centre as reference point not only for athletic organisations, but also for social events such as concerts or school shows or simply meeting points in the open-air arena. The connection with the green area is a strong concept for the project: the building is partially underground, in order to integrate itself with the parc until melting with it on the façade facing the street.

ArCA_3 - exhibition hall - Cagliari - 2010


The project is set in Cagliari, in the surroundings of the Molentargius Park, a natural sanctuary included in the metropolitan area of the interland of the city, right next to the urban settlement. The sanctuary has always had a strong influence in the area since the ancient times, because of it natural conformations that allowed the creation of natural salt mines. An analysis on a plant specie typical of the place was undertaken; the aim was to achieve a deep understanding of evolution and settlement of the plant itself in order to reproduce the efficiencies and the potentialities in the design process. The chosen specie was the Typha Angustifolia, a characteristic water plant growing in the surroundings of ponds and lakes, with a strong need of the presence of water. These analysis lead to the creation of the Surface Data, a surface which visualises the minor distance of poins belonging to a grid to the closest water source. The distance of each point to the water has been reproduced in vertical line from the respective point, obtaining a 3D visualisation of the chosen data.

The evolution of the design, has seen two different directions of development: first of all, a study on the creation of the component, and of its proliferation on surfaces. On the second hand, the experiments on the actual surface of the project. The intermediate results in the first field have been evaluated first on personal taste, but most important on the global effect resulting from both the fields of study.The component has been created starting from a squared grid, whose each cell has been divided into four parts. The four diagonals of each part have been divided into a specific number of segments; afterwards, each division point as been doubled in the two direction, allowing then the connection of the 2 point resulting on one side with the centroid of the cell, and on the other side with the respective vertex of the cell itself. The surface instead has followed a different approach of development. The idea of the circle came out from sequencial offsets of the building area boundaries. Then, the concept of the slope suggested by the Data Surface has been included, obtaining a global surface which is growing in high and width as closer as it gets to the water, and which is getting smaller in the other side. The particular section, instead, was obtained studying a possible solution for the surface to have both the task to enclose the space on the ground level, and to create a sort of terrace-path on the top of the building itself. The S section seemed to be a good compromise for the global effect of the building and for the continuity of the surface.
