re-HUT
The
hut embodies a primitive condition, one where the scarce availability of
resources triggers industrious approaches and design creativity.
In our
increasingly interconnected world, material scarcity and pollution, force us to
develop circular design strategies so that buildings are design for assembly
and disassembly and the whole life cycle of architectural systems and
components is considered.
Today’s
digital infrastructures and automated technologies render affordable
reconnecting with the locale, shortening global value chains and strengthening
distributed and localized supply strategies.
The hut will
be designed, assembled and disassembled using digital technology so that chunks of matter will be recycled, simulated and (re-)assembled.

Data Architecture
Historically,
building typologies were the palimpsest through which it has been possible to
organize cities and society according to functions, social groups, categories
and classes. In the age of big data and artificial intelligence, our societies require more
diverse and heterogeneous alternatives, different models that engender our
nimble and increasingly atomised communities.
The project explores n ew architectural typologies that are emerging out of a growing demand for integrating the artificial, the natural and the machinic worlds. Modernism strived over the myth of global urbanization. Today, digital infrastructures and automated technologies render affordable reconnecting with the locale, shortening global value chains and strengthening distributed strategies.

︎︎︎BACKMarket Square, Riccione
The market represents the space of relationships and exchange, a place which, adapting and transforming over time, constitutes the beating heart of the city's social and commercial relations.
It is precisely the markets that have made the fortune of the historic Italian cities: from the Rialto market in Venice to the Mercato di Mezzo in Bologna or Sant’Ambrogio in Florence.
Riccione’s market square is, at the same time, a crucial and unresolved place in the urban fabric of the city. The project proposes a technological and multifunctional roof in the center of the square, a building without facades, a shelter that can also provides a spectacular backdrop for events and shows: a place to display and trade the best agricultural products and craft of the region.

DICE
OPENSYSTEMS lands its first project in China as a collaboration with NN, a fashion retailer in Xintiandi Style, Shanghai. DICE, a sculptural installation to mark the entrance of the store. The piece takes inspiration from the contemporary flair of the fashion
labels on display and it resembles the form a primitive crystalline formation: the prismatic dodecahedra that compose the artwork is inspired by the geometry that can can be found in natural crystals and rocks.

ASA HQ
The project consists of 800sqm productive area which will house the latest digital metal printing technology, and 800sqm at first floor level where offices, meeting rooms, changing rooms and ancillary facilities will be placed.
The building was designed as a “kit of parts” and
takes
advantage of the latest technologies of pre-fabrication and assembl which minimised time of construction and costs while maximising on-site safety.
The project questions the role of architecture in the process of integrating
automated machines and human labour. The traditional dichotomy of blue and white collars is rendered obsolete by the ‘grey collars’, the work force of the digital age. Unlike the traditional fordist factory, based on the assembly line where humans work as machine, the new grey collar factory requires an upgrade of the workforce for managing automated machines. For this reason the space is a hybrid between an office, a lab and a workshop where comfort, communication and wellbeing are key factor to productivity.
