Color Terrae

Color Terrae is a mobile application for archaeologists. The application digitizes the identification, analysis, classification and description of stratigraphic units following the Munsell color code. A color detection function based on artificial intelligence reads photographs taken by the user and links each stratigraphic unit to a specific color code. A Diary section works as a notebook and as a photographic archive for notes, voice memos and pictures. Dig Mode provides an interface optimized for outdoor use on excavation days.

Santa Caterina

The convent of Santa Caterina is a restricted historical area, located in the heart of Treviso, which had many critics, both functional and structural. The project was divided into three phases, which have led to a new system of access and enjoyment of the entire complex, through different strategies: the inclusion of services to support international exhibitions, the reorganization of museum itineraries, the rearrangement of some wings according to the box in box principle, the restoration of fine parts, the reopening of the underground hall and the redefinition of the entrance volume.

Mar Mediterraneo 34

Mar Mediterraneo 34 is the restoration of a historic house in the Tacuba neighborhood of Mexico City. The house was built in 1910 in an eclectic French style and was in advanced deterioration. Artistic and handcrafted elements of the main facade were recovered, including the carved quarry stone of the lintels and balconies, the iron railings and the glass roof tiles. The main patio was rebuilt as a reinterpretation of the past, with openings in double height that rise from a volcanic stone baseboard. The restored building has three levels and seven apartments.

Mardin Cevzat Kasri

Mardin Cevzat Ecological Hotel is a restoration project for two historic stone pavilions, Cevzat Kasri and Su Kasri. Both buildings were constructed as residences at the end of the 18th century and are reached by passing through vineyards. The existing stone texture was cleaned and preserved, and missing stones were completed with local calcite stone and chipped stone. Present-day additions, such as a staircase, use steel and glass so that new work can be distinguished from the original material. The restored buildings provide eleven guest rooms, a reception, a cafe and a restaurant.

Polonceau Railway Carriage

Polonceau Railway Carriage is a multimedia installation created for a railway museum. The installation pairs a rare historical carriage with a multi-screen video wall that moves alongside it. The wall is 4.2 metres high, holds five screens and travels about 22 metres. The video shows the interior of a private premium carriage used by senior Soviet officials, including a kitchen, compartments, a drawing room and a study. Filmed scenes are combined with computer graphics, and the video is synchronised with the moving wall, so visitors see episodes that may have happened inside.

Epic Fail

Inspired by the political events that shook 2016, this series observes the dissonance between our perception and reality in the age of social media and catered news feeds. The aim was to question how our materiality can be warped by our opinions and judgements, using the existential currents of Jean Paul Sartre’s "Nausea".
