Serio River Fluvial Park

This is the main configuratione: a long fluvial park with a central path going north-south, with three main spot areas.
The project fronts the impact of a new motorway (Bre.Be.Mi) on a rural area in the Pianura Padana, along the Serio River.



Schemes showing the features of the land


The table of the floodable area, with details, views (by S. Gatti) and the botanical aspect.


The schematic section of the different levels of the floodable area


Details of the boundaries of the floodable area.


Table of the birdwatching area, along the river, with special platform made of gabions and concrete (views by S. Gatti).


Table of the southest part, with entrance and fish club small building (views by S. Gatti).




Last table of the exam, showing the crossing of the peatonal path and the motorway Bre.Be.Mi (work in progress) and some technical drawings of the lighting system.
The main idea is to close an area just under the motorway bridge and left the nature growing spontaneously, according G. Clement theories.

Let's help Minami Sanriku!

Dear friends,

this is a little contribution-help I gave to the Centro Culturale Giapponese of Milan.
They are sponsoring a fund-raising together with other partners, to build a new kindergarten for Minami Sanriku, a place in the Prefecture of Miyagi, totally destroyed by the Tsunami.
They asked me to prepare a draft project with some images to help this raising, and this his the result.
Actually, also hoping you will enjoy the project, I would be very grateful if you could help us in this mission. Minami Sanriku really needs our help!
The main reference is http://www.centrodiculturagiapponese.org/eventi.html , where you will find all the details and contacts. I'm putting here the pages of the brochure with the project.
Thank you!

Rethinking the metro of Wien

Okay, I haven't won the contest, but anyway, I did it and I'm proud about my work.
Maybe I could work also on the Milanese one...

mmm... let's see..

Bye Bye Saverio!
Your presence hanging on the wall had inspired me and all my friends during our parties for so long... The livingroom will never be the same.

The T-shirt will never replace you, but you'll remain in our hearts and on our chests.

This is for YOU... enjoy!
(production will start only at the request of friends)

Architect's Digest

In praise of Shadows, Jun'ichiro Tanizaki (1933)
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Praise_of_Shadows]
Probably one of the best book I've ever read, that made me really think about the differences between the East and the West. Once you read this, you really star paying mora and more attention to what surrounds you. And not only concerning Japan. This book really refines your cognizance of the World.


The system of objects, Jean Baudrillard (1968)

Symbolic exchange and death, Jean Baudrillard (1976)
[http://www.egs.edu/faculty/jean-baudrillard/articles/symbolic-exchange-and-death-excerpts/]

The Transparency of Evil, Jean Baudrillard (1990)
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/aug/15/jean-baudrillard-transparency-of-evil

Baudrillard has been the equivalent of Freud in the (psycho)analysis, but transposed into everything could be thought, thaught and produced.
After reading Jean (and of course that's not an easy affair) nor going to the supermarket, nor going to the cinema or have a look on a review will be the same as in the past. Are you ready to discover a delirious point of view for Life?
All these books will upgrade your awareness about "reality".
