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 strategiesMasterplan & site strategy
Linking landscape, infrastructure, and architecture through a linear hydro-systemArchitectural design development
Including the Hydro Tower, thermal baths, forest retreat, and urban interfaceNature-based solutions (NBS)
Floodable landscapes, ecological corridors, and stormwater strategiesPrecedent studies
Referencing works by Peter Zumthor, Carlo Scarpa, and the Bellinzona BathhourseFinal drawings, diagrams, sections, and models
Clear, exam-ready and portfolio-quality layoutsProcess 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.
