Mattia Bravin - M.Arch

ABOUT ME

I am Mattia Bravin, a dynamic and hard worker Italian student of Politecnico di Milano.I am back to Europe after an exchange period at the University of Technology in Sydney where I started my final thesis of MArch about the identity crisis of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney’s opera house area. I attended an international Postgraduate coursework at my own university Politecnico di Milano and a year exchange in Spain during my BArch. During my university’s education I had the opportunity to have good professors, to attend important lectu-res given by a large number of known architects and to participate to international workshops.Thanks to these experiences my architectural knowledge has grown up with a strong base given by my school and at the same time I had the opportunity to experiment other different architectural approaches and methods that helped me to improve my design skills and thoughts.

I graduated at the Bachelor with professor Alessandra Zanelli with a research thesis regarding the de-velopment of the use of textile materials applied to the façades; this thesis was born as a comparison between the experience of the last few years, especially during Shanghai expo 2010, when a large num-ber of projects that used this technology become important.I started an investigation about the opportunities we can have using this materials from a technical and aestatical point of view.

Architecture for me is the way to know the outside world, a possibility to know different countries, popu-lations and cultures.It is an important tool of comunication and a unique opportunity to create social cohesion.I really believe in the necessity to travel and see by your own eyes the masterpieces and the opportunities that this world offer you.

CAPO CERASO HOTEL|private competition01

The project was about the riqualification of an existing resort in costa Smeralda (Sardegna) that have been abandoned for almost 15 years and had to be reconstruct keeping the actual structural system.The main aims of this project were the dematerialization of the building body, the relationship with the nature and sardinian’s value that have to be translate in architecture.This values were translated inside the project, giving a new power to the building in order to distinguished it from the others similar resorts of the area.The nature and the craftworks are the main topic used to design the covering mesh, a new tool to disgregate the original shape and the weight of the building.This mesh is designed as an element in Vimini(wicker) typical of the local tradition, that is done to be colonyzed by the nature and to feed the nature.The resort works both in winter and in summer season and host private apartments and hotel’ suites.All the facilities are designed to work either for the people of the building either for the people of the sorroun-dings.

GREEN LINE EXPO 2015 02

ABOUT THE PROJECTThe theme of this course was the creation of an alternative design for the office pavilion in EXPO MILANO 2015. The main problem were related to the schedule and the dimension of the area that were very strict and precise.Another important issue in this kind of project was the relation of the building with the after expo, how this building could improve the future development of this area, and how could become a new keypoint and at-tractive point also after expo.We decided to start from the nature (Main topic of expo) and recreate a visual relationship with the new moun-tain situated in the oposite head of the decumano street; a decision to create something strong that had to become the new center of the after expo situation.The flows of people along the decumano designed the shaped of the public platform that had to host all the activities related to the expo (main square, multimedia hall, Auditorium, Conferences room..ecc).Above this element two bodies of the offices growth in vertical following the exposition to the sun and the winds, giving a perfect performances to this building.The Façade was the main aim of the studies in order to improve the quality of the building.

ABOUT THE PROJECTThe city of Milano is a monocentric system made of circular “circonvallazioni” and radials, the project is situa-ted in the north-east part of the city inside the quite recent project of Gregotti for the new Bicocca.Inside of the area we have two main crucial point signed by the PGT as Areas in trasformations that are in the both side of the existing railway line.The Area is next to the north boundary of Milano and the presence of the vertical axis (two main roads and railway) cut complitely the area in vertical stripes.The Public transportation system is under developing but is possible to improve this system giving more order and especially working on the horizontal connection.We started to design the 2 masterplan according to the horizontal connection, trying to enphasize the relation-ship between new and prexistance, and trying to give a new green identity to the neighborhood.The idea was to recreate on one side a new neighborhood for the students of the university from one side, and on the other give a new area of facilities and attractor points for the people of the sorroundings.

Marchiondi Spagliardi Art Museum04

Marchiondi Spagliardi Art Museum

ABOUT THE PROJECTThe theme of the course is a preservation project of “Marchiondi Spagliardi’s Institute” of Vittoriano Viganò, icon of the modern movement and one of the few examples of brutalism architecture in Italy.In addition to the classical part of analysis and survey, the course required a specific project of reuse of the building.The building has recently been purchased by Politecnico di Milano. The new function request for this building was a contemporary art museum: In the last few years the people speak more about the importance of the container and not just about the content, so what is better than Mar-chiondi Spagliardi’s Institute (the model is showed at M.O.M.A.) to host this kind of activity?We developed a new Masterplan for the museum, and later on we focused the attenction to the ex primary school’s area.The primary school can be used to host medium size masterpieces (statues or paintings).The flexibility that we gave with our intervention regards some tricks related to the kind of illumination and distribution of the spaces.Before to design the new spaces we made a deep investigation based on the Riegl’s method and analysis of the values.

THE TEMPORARY LEAVING05

ABOUT THE PROJECTThe main theme of this studio was the temporary and movable architecture.The request by the professors was to design a temporary pavilion mountable, with dry methods in a relatively short time, and functional from the climate’s and wellenss point of views. According to this we designed a mobile structure that had no constraints linked to a specific places but that have to be adaptable in any place with different climate’s conditions. The newness of topics for this kind of intervention was the main important discovered during this semester: The possibility to create something different from the typical house project was a very important factor during the design process and especially the opportunity to use unusual construction method grew my interestest in this topics.These kind of structures are mostly built taking into consideration the timing of construction.

Adaptability to the river bank

Rythm given by the frames Plan of the exhibition configuration

The main characteristic of the Movable Floating Bridge is the move-ment.Thanks to the two pavilions, you can create a route along a navigable channel. The project consists in two independent bodies that can work as one: -A floating pavilion (the bridge) that is used as link or exhibition space-A facilities module that plays a secondary role The MFB can be used on one side in urban contexts regarding exhibi-tions’ or fairs’ events (ex. fuorisalone), on the other as requalifing element for proble-matic contexts (ex. parco Lambro)The bridge is able to adapt to different heights and widths of the banks: this is possible thanks to asystem of winches, pistons, cables and cranes. The winches allow the lifting of the frames and the floor; the pistons have the task to separate the pillars and consequently also the frames. The last portions of the floor are not fixed and can rotate around a pivot, lie on the ground on the basis of the slope required.

Masterplan with no overflood

Piacenza is an historical river city in Emilia Romagna that lost completely this configuration; we based our project on the use of the water to regive to the city the possibility to use the river as an opportunity and not as a dangerous area with problem of overflood; for this reason we designed different masterplan according to the height of the water and the abbandoned highway it is a very good space to provide new facilities and public spaces to the citizen of this dense medieval city.

FLYING JELLYFISHThe idea was born from the interactivity of the works of Laszlo Moholy Nagy, professor of pho-tography at the Bauhaus, who is the first to bring the time factor in his works. The role of the light is so important to achie-ve this resolte and to stimulate an interactivity with the visitor.We wanted to create something touchable and unconventional in order to sti-mulate different reactions into the people.The Ehibition had a great succes and we were so happy about the happiness of kids playing with our work.
