Selected work

01 | Music for spaces

[2026 | master’s thesis]

[sound/space]

Can sound define space? This project investigates the architectural potential of digital sound, treating music as a primary building material. Through two twin installations, the sonic evolution shapes the spatial experience, translating acoustic atmospheres into physical realms.

02 | Paesaggi diffusi

[2022 | academic project]
[IUAV]
[architecture]

A spatial reactivation of a former glass factory in Murano, exploring temporary living. The project generates a diffuse artificial nature where suspended structures and modular elements transform industrial archaeology into a fluid landscape, allowing the intervention to expand freely between the factory spaces and the island.

A permanent installation integrated into the landscape through a series of glass poles.
