Diana Lens

I think I'm posting more stuff about photography than about architecture, but you know... the timing of construction... too long!!
Then, here you are, again photos, but shot with my Diana Lens + Canon body (a present by one of my best friend).

Totally addicted!!! Here my first attemps.. enjoy!

Final Master Degree

On Dec. 20th I definitely finished my studies, with "110 cum laude/110". Not that bad, isn't it? Now I'm... ehmm... should say "free"?
"Vacation" is  a word not inserted in my vocabulary...

Thanks a lot to my special Team: Cristina Diano and Sara Rizzetti.

STREET VIEW PHOTOGRAPHERS

This is a very private contest between my friends and I...
It's all to be discovered. Enjoy! and vote the best pictures with positive comments.

ESCHER WALL

Impossible construction, useless composition...

RENDERING AGAIN

This is the final (I hope) version of the 3D images of our project.
I was"UFFICIALLY forbidden" to use the Texan guy with the big hat, waiting at the reception desk. It doesn't matter, I'll keep that for another project.
.... Go Texas ;)

 

My last trip it was in Paris, for the Paris Photo festival...
It's so difficult to find something new/interesting to say about Paris when everybody around you is already taking pictures or seeing those of famous photographers. It's almost embarassing.

So I didn't try to do nothing new or different.
This is Paris. Just consider these a "memo" of that.

ps. I'm always so worried every time I have to go there -actually, I go the least I can- because people from Paris are always so hostile... I cannot loosen up that!   :(

Gone with the bricks...

Yes, I'm doing also this kind of stuff -at the moment- but for a very good reason.
As soon as possible, I'll create a kind of gallery with... variations on this theme, obviously in a perfect "Bea Style".

Soon available (well, soon after: my thesis, more serious 3D images, my ASP degree, my... )

Thermal Complex, back again

 The view of the main bar, from the "water" level

The entrance from the plaza

Four elements containing kind of... Jacuzzi?!

(outside water NOT CONNECTED with the inside one!)

Have a break on the water...

Texas people specially welcoming

Here we are, in the heart of this: water everithing, up and down.

Yesterday it was the great day of the exam, and this is our project.

It's a thermal complex in Milan, though to be a new attractive pole for the Porta Nuova area, dealing with the ancient Navigli System actually covered by the steets (but until 1930 completely opened).

We did well, in the end, after a long work together.

Special Thanks, as usual, to my friends and mates in this work:

NYC High Line

I promised and now.. here we are, guys!

This is maybe the most interesting project I've seen in NYC, and even if it's not that new, I present it to youfrom a turistic point of view, but with the eye of the architect. Then, since I'm also fond of photography, I've tried to take the best pictures I could, to share with you something not boring.
Ok ok a lot of words...now the stuff:
  [click, click, click here!]

Just keep in mind, even if you are not interested in this kind of things (I mean: architectures, landscape design, bla bla bla...) that NYC is not only Hot Dogs and Shopping...

Enjoy!

Pictures from the US

Finally here they are!! After my trip to the USA from Aug. 17th untill Sept. 6th/7th... tadaaaa! A selection of the pics is here presented. But wait because there is still something in my magic box... just wait for what's coming next.. ;)

MILANO - what's next?

Here another "mistery" to be solved before the end of September...

What if Milan could have a new thermal building, just close to Garibaldi Station?
What if four students are working on it since 2009?
What if we are really curious to know if our Professor DO really appreciate our ideas??

Let's see... Que serà, serà...
