        The Europe's Become | MADEOFFICE 2nd Prize Award

        MADEOFFICE was awarded the second prize of the International Competition "THE EUROPE'S BECOME": architectural ideas, creative and artistic expressions for the conservation of the future of Europe.



















        "It is in this perspective that the Association Atelier PAEMA calls for design ideas that are architectural, creative, artistic; and simultaneously lead to a synthesis of the European values interpretations for the past, present, and future: what the European cultural heritage has represented, what it is now, what we hope it will become and how all this can be expressed in a symbol, in a function, in a place.
        In a time of severe and prolonged global economic crisis, when there is a high risk to impoverish the European cultural dimension, the present International design competition seeks to counter this trend and aims at providing visibility to the positive elements that underlie the European identity, the process of integration and its cultural value. Coherent with this vision, Atelier PAEMA proposes to give visibility to Europe, even in a symbolic way, in order to convey the many meanings belonging to its citizens and territories (historical, philosophical, scientific, literary, architectural, humanistic, creative, artistic, economical, social, spiritual, ethical, etc.). The goal is to help re-launch the European values, the consciousness of a shared destiny that, besides the foundation of peace and security, might offer a common horizon pointing Europeans the path to be undertaken, also by recognizing its value and expressing its evolution. A highly functional artistic-design-cultural vision, therefore, requires the competitors to synthesize the exceptional and unique cultural heritage, both material and nonmaterial, which Europe has maintained during the time and will project in the future. The competition requires participants to express an "ideal symbol" of Europe, and to propose an area to place it. The design idea can be seen as an expression of architecture, art, landscape, urban design, engineering, or as a combination of them, having the "status" of "place of public interest". It should, moreover, possess functions and usability of public utility, for example, an open area, a green space, a park, a shoreline, a promontory, a square, an existing building reconverted."














        The evaluation Commission is composed of eleven members:

        Stefan Behnisch (Architect, Behnisch Architekten);
        Dennis Crompton (Architect, Archigram);
        Gabriele Del Mese (Engineer, Arup consultant);
        Mariangela Falà (Vice President of Atelier PAEMA);
        Ruggero Lenci (Architect, RL Space Lab);
        Carme Pinós (Architect, Estudio Carme Pinós);
        Luigi Prestinenza Puglisi (Architect, President of AIAC, Italian Assoc. of Architecture and Critic);
        Franco Purini (Architect, Studio Purini-Thermes);
        Adèle Naudé Santos (Architect, Dean of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at MIT);
        Claudio Strinati (Art Critic);
        An architect designated or approved by UIA (International Union of Architects).

        "YOUNG ITALIAN ARCHITECTS"
        Edizioni Forme Libere

        Nel 2010 fu lanciato da PresS/Tletter un concorso destinato a individuare VENTI talenti under 35 attivi nel nostro panorama architettonico. L'obiettivo era capire cosa stesse accadendo in Italia alla generazione che seguiva quella degli architetti quarantenni e cinquantenni per i quali la critica si era spesa generosamente ma con il rischio, appunto, di esserne troppo presa, dimenticando i più giovani. Questo concorso era il primo di una serie. Difatti il prossimo, per selezionare altri venti talenti under 35, sarà bandito, sempre da PresS/Tletter, e questa volta con la partnership della Associazione Italiana di Architettura e Critica, nel maggio del 2012. Oggi esce questa pubblicazione che serve anche da catalogo a una nuova collettiva a Selinunte, che inaugura il 31 marzo all'interno dell'evento "Architects meet in Selinunte: Partire, Tornare, Restare", dove sono presentati progetti inediti. Come si può vedere sfogliando le pagine del libro, il livello di qualità è molto più che confortante.

        madeoffice.it | a new competition

        The competition “Outside the Box_Low and High Technologies for the Emergencies” is focused on identifying design ideas for resolving various problems in emergency situations.At this point in time the emergency has become the norm. During recent years numerous natural phenomena have upset the lives of many communities scattered across the globe. Examples include Fukushima in Japan, Haiti, L'Aquila in Italy and New Orleans in the United States.The Box is a small temporary structure capable of offering various services: a small space for work, a centre of organisation and meetings for governments or other bodies dealing with and managing an emergency.A space that is simultaneously a workstation and information centre open to public, with free wifi and internet access to allow to people remain in touch with the rest of the world.A fundamental role in the elaboration of the design proposal must be entrusted to technology, whether low- or high-tech. The challenge launched by the Competition is also that of uniting two unavoidable aspects of contemporary design: sustainability and parametric design (the use of parametric modelling software to develop three-dimensional models).

        International Workshop LAN ON SITE@Rome

        The workshop proposes the exploration of ‘digital tectonics’ whereby the emphasis is on total integration between digital modeling and fabrication at a 1:1 scale. Parametric design will be utilized in both methodology and modeling, where students will explore both associative and generative techniques that investigate variation in form and stress physical production design integration. The workshop will result in the production of full scale, digitally manufactured prototypes. The workshop will emphasize the importance of fusing the three topics, and the final outcome will consist of a fully integrated design- to-production prototypes through engagement with accessible CNC production means–3d printer, CNC routers & laser cutters.

        Three main topics will be examined 1/ digital design theory, 2/ parametric design + modeling [RHINO, RHINO SCRIPTING, PARACLOUD] and 3/ digital fabrication [RHINOCAM] Each of the four tutors hold different specializations within the stated aspects.

        "Interweave" Pavillion

        Few seconds after I realized this new experiment, I immediately came to mind those pipes that are used in swimming pool for aquagym...
        With a good dose of imagination, I thought that the polyethylene closed cell foam could be suitable material for the construction of this temporary installation.

        This is the first real post that I dedicate to my thesis discussed on 7 October 2008.Subject of the thesis is the Church of St. Pio of Pietrelcina situated in Malafede near Rome.I chose to do a video in which I have collected many images that show the early stages and the finals that led to the conclusion of my Final Thesis in Engineering at the University "La Sapienza" in Rome.
