- Lost in Globalization
  
  Residential construction best expresses the evolution of the Chinese lifestyle over the years and is one of the major problems generated by the new massive Chinese urbanization. The city main structure is easily recognizable: a large sprawl of buildings almost placed without a hierarchical disposition. In the various lots are easily identifiable several patterns. Only with the typologies study can be possible understand the relationship between the various political events, the lifestyles and the form. The contrast in morphology between the different prototypes seem to be a sudden mutation, but actually suggest a gradual housing typological evolution lasting over a century.

- POP-UP HOTEL REVOLUTION, the architectural innovation about to come in the hotel industry
  
  WHICH IS MOVING: PEOPLE OR ARCHITECTURE? In an era where nomadism is the keyword that relates people to the rest of the world, architecture is seeking for a concrete response to the recent needs, result of the rise of mobility and worldwide travels. The proposal of new modular structures for the hospitality market defines the tendency to think movable, modular, flexible.

  Do our houses really seem to belong to our contemporary times? Do they have the same technological content of all the other tools that we use nowadays such as smartphones and the latest car models? The answer is definitively not.

  La necessità di relazionare ed aggregare le singole unità abitative comporta la necessità di pensare all’organismo edilizio come ad un sistema di sistemi e sottosistemi, dove le “regole di interfaccia” devono equilibrare la semplicità di realizzazione e di montaggio del singolo elemento con la possibilità di avere una molteplicità e varietà di possibili combinazioni a la loro flessibilità di utilizzo.
