A Complete Architecture & Urban Design Studio Booklet

Politecnico di Milano — Architecture & Urban Design Studio B by Kyara Marcoux

WATER IS WELLNESS is a 200+ page digital studio booklet documenting a full semester of architectural and urban design work developed at Politecnico di Milano by a group of four students (Group 1). Conceived as both a personal archive and a professional reference, the booklet captures the complete design process—from territorial analysis to final architectural resolution.

This is not a template or a summary. It is a complete studio record that documents design thinking, methodology, representation, and resolution at a professional academic level. The images shown are a sneak peek of selected pages.

The booklet traces the full semester workflow, including QGIS-based territorial and urban analysis, masterplan strategies, and architectural design development, with a focus on the Hydro Tower (by Kyara Marcoux) , thermal baths (by Daniel Kopelman), glamping area (by Taryn Loughnan), and welcome area (by Greta Mauro)

This booklet follows the complete logic of a European master’s-level design studio and includes:

  • Territorial, regional, and local urban analysis
    (developed using QGIS, Eurostat, Lombardy Geoportale, and hydrological datasets)

  • Water as a spatial generator
    Basin hierarchies, drainage systems, and gravity-driven design strategies

  • Masterplan & site strategy
    Linking landscape, infrastructure, and architecture through a linear hydro-system

  • Architectural design development
    Including the Hydro Tower, thermal baths, forest retreat, and urban interface

  • Nature-based solutions (NBS)
    Floodable landscapes, ecological corridors, and stormwater strategies

  • Precedent studies
    Referencing works by Peter Zumthor, Carlo Scarpa, and the Bellinzona Bathhourse

  • Final drawings, diagrams, sections, and models
    Clear, exam-ready and portfolio-quality layouts

  • Process documentation
    Showing how analysis informs architecture across multiple scales

This is a complete studio archive intended as a reference for architecture students, portfolio development, and anyone interested in water-led, landscape-driven design.
