La Scala Prof. Arch. Roberto BriccolaSemester 1, BAC 1, 2009

The purpose of the excercise was to connect with a staircase a student atelier with a student dormitory.The first piece to be designed was the groundfloor staicase which gave us an understanding of what can a staircase be apart form it’s basic functionality. Then came the atelier that was very interesting to project as we needed to experiment with spaces in a defined volume which was defined by the professor. Finally, on the top level the student accomodsation came to place and we started to understand and remember basic and very practical measures to apply when doing architecture.

Casa UnifamiliareProf. Arch. Roberto BriccolaSemester 2, BAC 1, 2010

Thinking and designing a unifamiliar house was the task for the second semester of my 1st year.This exercise brought to my knowledge the problems of privacy and program distribution in a family house. As the individual houses that the students designed then needed to compose a neighbourhood, urbanistic issues where often discussed at critics.
