Some of my recent projects
Scarsellini 17:Community activator for a new building
​
The house in Scarsellini street is a 100 apartment building built by a construction co-op that clearly understands the need and the importance of community life in the building. This can be seen by the way the residents are involved in the decision making process and by the fact that the constructor has included some common areas in the building plan.
An online social network was built to support the creation of the community and to enable the community to come up with new ideas for the building and for their everyday life. This was accompanied by a presentation and a series of meetings with both the co-op president and the inhabitants. The idea is to open up possibilities to the future residents and create active participation in creating their still-to-come social life in the new condominium

Vicini Per Casa - facilitating a co-housing creation proccess
​
In this action a group of people interested in creating their own housing solution in co- housing is being coached from the very first moment. The group is assisted during several meetings in transforming them from singles to a group capable of managing a construction task. Creating a sequence of meetings with precise order and using design tools to involve people improve their ability to create and share a project.
