Summary
I would describe myself as a well presented, hard working person who thrives at the chance of learning new
skills.
I always love to get the task I have been given done in a professional and efficient manner and I have proved
these skills though my studies at the University and work placements.
I work well alongside others and I am easy to get along with as I am a sociable person.
My study career and my work experience meanwhile have helped me build my confidence as a person and
hopefully will carry on so.
I am also willing to take any training necessary to enable me to carry out my work well.

The project consists of three separate volumes and each one hosts the student's apartments. The two sides
exposed to the sun are completely glazed and host the greenhouses at the disposal of the apartments, while
the two sides facing north are covered with wood. Access to the three buildings is through the blocks placed
at the center of the concrete volumes. The basement is public and hosts the gym, the reading room, the coffee
shop and the markets for the direct sale of products derived from the farm. It is accessed by two flights, and a
large window allows you to enjoy the river.

Mention
2015 to Present
Members:Alessandra Marchetti
Abbiamo sviluppato un progetto che fosse in grado di generare una successione di spazi pubblici, interrelati
tra di loro e serviti da percorsi pedonali e ciclabili, sui quali si aprissero un gran numero funzioni diverse
e variegate, capaci di creare un vibrante asse di attivit, pensato per le persone, non solo come un mero
punto di passaggio. Una serie di piazze e parchi, ricche di carattere e vitalit, in grado di stimolare le
interazioni sociali ed economiche. Il progetto si articola intorno ad un nucleo centrale di spazi flessibili per
la comunit che offrono una serie di servizi pubblici multifunzionali diventando una nuova serie di luoghi di
incontro per tutto il vicinato. Lutilizzo di strutture ad uso misto permette di concentrare le attivit, ridurre
il pendolarismo e incrementare la convenienza, facilitando uno stile di vita comunitario di 24 ore, riducendo
le emissioni di CO2 grazie allintegrazione del trasporto pubblico e generando nuove opportunit di lavoro.
Se la fascia lungo mare si articola lungo una serie di diverse attivit, che variano da quelle ludico sportivo,
a quelle di intrattenimento, educative e culturali (grazie ad un esteso parco lineare a sud e alla successione
di porti attrezzati a nord), la fascia prossima alla collina ospita invece delle micro fattorie per la produzione
biologica ed ecosostenibile di prodotti alimentari, lavorati e confezionati nelle micro aziende previste in
prossimit delle stesse. Valutando un'appropriata densit, in relazione ai parametri urbanistici locali, abbiamo
rilocato il 50% delle unit abitative in alcune torri, dislocate in posizione strategiche, lasciando spazio cos
allo sviluppo di aree pubbliche, verdi e non, con un carattere decisamente a scala umana e concentrate sui
collegamenti pedonali e ciclabili. Ogni singolo edificio inoltre accuratamente progettato secondo criteri di
sostenibilit ambientale ed economica integrando tecnologie e soluzioni innovative.

idea that creates the tree tall buildings.
