Sustainable
The relation between industry and medullary cancer is perhaps here, in the relentless plunder of oxygen made from the factory to the detriment of those who work or live near. Guido Ceronetti, The Silence of the body, 1979

Any body interacts with the environment that surrounds it, and this not only in the immediacy of the relationships that are created , but also during the course of time, ( and this is quite obvious ) . But what does this statement for architecture ? He probably just to use various technicalities that according to the fashions are capable of being more or less materially in keeping with the place ? In our opinion, this process is an intimate spatial relationship and physics that gives meaning to the intimate relationship that exists between man and his environment , uploading meaning of the term PLACE . This house was created on commission by a private owner of a lot which overlooks the Strait of Messina, but it faces a number of tall buildings a little more than a plan , and over these a row of trees that only one point admits a opening large enough to constitute a significant view on the landscape . The meaning of the operation , therefore, in addition to all the technical research on sustainability, stands as a gesture, or that of a rising path that twists and yearn to point to that one glimpse virtuous .
The best backdrop
with: Salvatore Cerullo
The project responds to a design contest banned by the City of Stalybridge in the province of Catanzaro in a small theater in a site which has been divided up for the services of the neighborhood. This site is located on a hillside with breathtaking views and thereby force the game to become the landscape and the relationship with it the dominant motif of the entire proposal. The site then showed remarkable gradients, rearranged with the sloping terraces reminiscent of the old "armaciere" peasant. The theater is simply thought of as a tent placed to cover a portion of these.
Around the product of the earth
with: Rubens Esposito
Just outside Tropea there is this old house where a couple of young farmers built a small production and catering estremamante interesting. The project accompanies a request for funding in order to realize a real tourism center extending and improving the existing one. The proposal starts from the desire to give shape and substance to the word community attaraverso the grafting of a continuous structure that inglobba and connects itself through a porch functions of the ggio and service and which surrounds the productive sector made of different gardens and greenhouses .
weave the possibility
with: Massimo Lo Curzio
The accidental discovery of a Roman villa of the Naniglio Gioiosa in the province of Reggio Calabria has led local authorities to dispose of the provincial road that was passing above. In its place was a process of conversion from the driveway in the pedestrian street in the service of creating a possible archaeological park. The project weaves various modes of the route (from the pedestrian to the path that electric) in obtaining cracks and jumps of various share parking spaces.
Different landscapes, but a single "thread"
with: Roberto Greco, Enzo Gioffrè
Result of participation in a design competition for the construction of a pedestrian trail that collegassa two small urban centers, and Nembro Gavarno brovincia in Bergamo. The heterogeneity of places to cross is unified through a single colored asphalt paving material. Throughout the rest of the intervention are then provided local materials and eco-friendly.
Sun, earth, wind, rain
The design of these residences is inserted into a restyling of Piazza del Popolo in Reggio Calabria and an integral part thereof. Experiment that combines these small houses mounted on the supporting structure of a single large four main pillars, sun / fire, water, earth, air. Each home addresses and proposes an answer to this issue, the home of the wind through a huge "sail" which conveys the energy produced by the latter, the house of the sun taking on a conformation that accompanies the motion, the home ground dellaq through a greenhouse that incorporates housing and the water with a conical coil c conveys that collects rainwater in a play of lights and reflections.
Traces agrimensorie
with: Rubens Esposito
The idea is to offer an extremely large area in the creation of an elite tourist center where the relationship with the land and its fruits both from a cultural point of view that material will become the main theme of any permanence in complex. The patchwork of different crops becomes the dominant motif of the general, and the various functions of the complex is conceived as a superposition of several interlocking layers. A short distance later finds its raison d'être of a beach club to support other functions of the complex
A natural screen
with: Roberto Greco, Enzo Gioffrè
The project is part of a competition launched by the Municipality of Crotone to build an extension of the city's waterfront at a site where the urban presence in fringed by the sea is the almost non-existent. The idea that drives our proposal stems from the desire to create two spaces and two reality quite separate and opposing each other. The one made by the provincial road traveled by countless vehicles, noisy and annoying, and the other made by the peace, the silence and the intensity of the relationship with the water. All this through the construction of a natural barrier, a plan for the ideal separation, a wall made with a large flower bed planted with bamboo, a species that grows thickly and evenly and that therefore proposed to achieve the effect.
Unimpeded
with: Stella Serranò
This client wanted to build a shed on which to place a photovoltaic system on a veranda with breathtaking views. Our response has been to propose a lamellar structure hanging standing, which was intended not to obstruct the view in any way, but rather to build a space "other" as to redefine the aesthetics of the entire villa.
