Urban Design - Architectural Design - Landscape Design:
Master Planning
Architectural design of infrastructural network's spaces:
The new "Gates" of contemporary Cities : airports, railway stations, highway stations
Architectural design of greater complexes in the urban sprawl:
Retail, Mixed use, Leisure & Sport
Landscape design of roads network
Architectural and Urban design of Waterfronts
My research is aimed at exploring the fields of architectural and urban design in the contemporary society.
The current formal structure of a contemporary city is one of the main subjects of current theoretical and experimental elaboration. The paradigms, the concepts, the disciplinary subjects developed to understand, explain and to face the current settlement condition in terms of development are very different and often contradictory. From a more general point of view of a "sprawled towns", used to stimulate one of the pre-eminent morphological-typological characters to the similar one of a "lost city", to the koolhaasian concept of a "generic city ", to the revision of the concept of "grossstadt" many roads have been undertaken to reach a systematic and coherent conceptualisation. Therefore we can define a "generic city" as the current complex form of urban living in its numerous characterisations and articulations. One of its pre-eminent natures is the upheaval of its relationship with communication networks. From an appendix of compact cities that have become the vital layout for survival against the urban "stuff". Let us now examine some characters following such upheaval, immediately after having attempted to summarise a minimum historical perspective of the urban morphogenesis.
The landscape of the highways is multiple and dynamic by the constant flow of vehicles. The highway with its components has therefore become a part of imaginary literature and of the literature of "topical figures" that populate imaginary architecture: this means that it has also lost its role as a heterotopic service and its buildings, tollgates, stations, motorway restaurants, petrol pumps, rescue areas and other means including the road network, footbridges, dirt paths, grassy inclined plains and road signs have entered into the groups of architectural spaces on various scales of connections.
