caad'06 logo proposal

I just finished and submitted my proposal for the caad'06 logo. It is a photo-composition mixing the '06 course's leit-motif, the artichoke, with the paradigmatic example of Frank O. Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, one of the milestones of the "third wave" in architecture.

an informational forum as
the new entrance to rome

Together with Stefania, Alberto, Andrea and Aurora we formed the StreAM group for the final part of the CAAD'06 course. The aim is to address the cultural and isolation crisis in the suburbs of Rome through a web of buildings that can function as a gate to other parts of the city and other communities as well as a catalyst for new culture.

new substances

comment on an article
by prof. Antonino saggio

"...overcoming the old diktats of coherent, unified and organic qualities in the most successful cases brings greater success precisely because of the much lauded functionality. In fact, in breaking the diktats, the different components of architecture are "liberated". Often a fuller and closer resolution to each of the components in play has found."

Added a comment on the article "New Substances" by prof. Antonino Saggio.

caad'06

computer aided architectural design '06

Prof. Antonino Saggio from the Computer Aided Architectural Design course has requested his students to build a website - a rather obvious request since the course revolves around the use of Information Technology - so I'm taking this request as an opportunity to finally purchase a web domain.
