When I was asked to link some words to the concept of verticality I immediately thought about
masculinity. The “competition for height” can be seen in the buildings of every age that shape the architecture of cities. Buildings are symbols
and the vertical ones are males. A church, for instance, is made by two complementary parts, the tower as masculine symbol, and the dome that indiscriminately hosts the believers in a
mathernal way. This project focuses on Milano-Isola, a zone in which many male-edifices have been built. From this perspective the menace of this buildings is naively diminished, in order to stimulate new thoughts and ideas for the future.

PLOTLATCH_______
COLLECTIVE PROJECT
Nowadays, in every firm, thousands of young architects cut, paste, redraw and assemble libraries of images, entering into fast and ‘perverse’ processes of production, on which they have no control. All these scraps and pieces of drawings are often set aside or abandoned, and become an emblematic catalogue of the current condition, an ‘archive of horrors’.
Potlatch is a collective project.
As in the traditional Native American ceremony, all discarded materials are gathered together in a metaphorical celebration of the ritual, in which remnants of production are donated and consumed, to give them a new meaning. Potlatch is based on gift economy and proceeds without any speculative logic: the result is an infinite virtual landscape of waste, accessible to everyone. Through Potlatch, these sterile fragments are released, and the beauty of the disposition sublimates our condition of immaterial workers with thoughtful detachment.
Fosbury Architecture, as recipient will limit itself to assemble a temporary composition. Playing with these scraps the aim is to build up an open source platform carrying out a huge apotropaic drawing, as an opportunity to reaffirm our fragile status. The platform is conceived as a flea market, a collective form, proliferating and permanently under construction. The Potlatch flea market it is not designed, but it is a unified whole composed by multiple individual memorabilia.

Drachenberg is a 120 meters high hill, one of the few places around Berlin from which it is possible to see the city’s panorama. It is a natural site surrounded by forest, characterised by the contact with nature, silence, isolation from the city and a 360 degree view of the horizon. All these features make it a place of introspection and connection with the natural surroundings. The project brings into focus the natural landscape, the view of the city, the sky and its light through experience. Its references are the great examples of archeoastronomy around the world and their relationship with the circadian cycle of nature, and the works of contemporary artists who research on the theme profoundly. The design of the spaces is strictly connected with the natural light and how it changes with the passing of time, in this way architecture becomes the medium that makes the naked eye observatory work.The design of the project is based on elementary centric geometries. They are recurrent shapes that can be found in every natural element. Centric geometries are also present in every culture and they have been used in architecture since ancient times, especially in sacred buildings and those connected with spirituality. Therefore the spatial composition follows a geometrical grid based on the center and two main axis (north-south, east-west). The geometrical grid has been built on the orography of the site as well, so that it embraces and develops the volumes of the project within the volume of the hill. Eight hypogeal spaces connected by tunnels are disposed around a central element. They build up a sequence of rooms, each one of them shifts the visitors’ perception to a different aspect of the natural cycle of light and nature. The sequence ends in the central pavilion that finally reconnects to the totality of the 360 degree view.

The goal of Lwd2018 (Leeuwarden as European Capital of Culture in 2018) is generating culture with a bottom-up initiative instead of imposing some monster-plans from above. Instead of building unused/unnecessary/then-abandoned constructions, we want to gift to the city something coming from its soil, a project that may not be so monumentally permanent and unreasonably costly.As landscape is such an important aspect of Leeuwarden personality, both from the cultural and the historical point of view, we decided to consider the regional territory as a whole. Hence Leeuwarden appears the capital of an anthropic lowland, a flat land scenery made by agricultural fields, grasslands and a dense net of canals, populated by villages, towns, cows and wind turbines.The main aim is to reinvigorate Leeuwarden cultural life through its territory, via ephemeral land art projects. It is a way to look backwards at its roots and simultaneously work on the physical reality.Land Art stimulates new approaches and unconventional ideas that take place in the landscape. Because of the materials and deep connection to nature it is submitted to a temporal process, something that doesn’t interest other disciplines (except dance and performing arts), so it evolves (or un-evolves toward death) with the surrounding.Land Art stimulates new approaches and unconventional ideas that take place in the landscape. Because of the materials and deep connection to nature it is submitted to a temporal process, something that doesn’t interest other disciplines (except dance and performing arts), so it evolves (or un-evolves toward death) with the surrounding. As Land Art has no theory and fails to attend any conceptual concern, it opens up to thought-provoking possibilities. It made possible to think about an ephemeral unfixed project, an entropic horizontal diffused city, a stage with a piece going on that needs time - day, seasons, years - and space - movement - to be perceived.

STRATEGY
|.|The strategy is to create a Land Art installations system along the existing connection networks (spread city of Towns and Land Art sites) on the Frisian territory: a 25 kilometres radius park of Land Art. |.|The focal points of the system are the 11 cities and 4 islands which are connected by the already existing networks of road, rail and water connection. |.|The proposed 100 sites for Land Art are spread around these connection networks. |.|The connection networks to these sites are refined further by eco-friendly systems of shared vehicles, bicycles, boats and along with introduction off a one-year lasting temporary air networks of airships and hot-air balloons. This provides a freedom degree to the movement pattern in and around the Land Art Sites for the visitors along with inhabitants. |.|The connections between the 11 cities and the 4 islands are characterised by four different themes, so that one embraces a path made by installations both physically and conceptually related to each others. |.| As the Frisian landscape has always been characterised by devices that converts natural energy, as old windmills and wind turbines, the main axis is made by land art installations that capture green energy from nature in order to be visible by night, both from the aerial view and the more conventional land-ways. [energy, light] |.|In the second path the land art works establish a strong connection with the environment, so they have to be focused on the ecological aspect, by investigating the relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings. [ecology, environment, organisms] |.|A third route follows an aptitude that wants to be a gesture on the landscape, more than a mise en valeur of a biological/scientific quality of it. [entropy, ephemerality, declaration] |.| In the forth axis installations reformulate in the simplest way the
organic/inorganic materials. The starting point of the projects will be the elements of the site. [re-formulation, entropy, elements]

WASTE MONUMENT
It breaks the horizontality of the Frisian landscape by reformulating waste material.
Each cone-mountain will be gradually destroyed by the wind action that passes through a hole.
Each hole’s orientation follows a different wind direction.The first mountain to be destroyed will be on the side
where the wind blows more.

A great exhibition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Made in Japan”, the Deep Purple’s album re-
corded by the rock-band in Tokyo in 1972.A wooden reticulum reminds about the Japanese tradition of aerial modular structures. It seems to be a cloud, floating in the sky of the Basilica of Vi-cenza designed by Palladio, the Olympus of Rock where the Deep Purple stay. Everything reminds
the atmosphere of the 70s.

“The Extending of the Guggenheim Museum of Venice” concept is to bring Contemporary Art in the Grand Canal, and it is based on the fusion of the existing palace and its collection with a new removable structure showcasing contemporary art. Since it is a modular-removable steel struc-
ture, that can be build in a different way depend-ing on the exposition it hosts, I designed every detail as if it will be really assemble: thinking
about the real scale for the first time was certainly stimulating and instructive, because it drew me close the profession. As I has always been inter-
ested in Art, this project fuelled my thoughts and my passions, it inspires me thinking about how to present the art works to the public, to make it
than more accessible.
