MARTINA MARIA TARONIBIOGRAPHY

PORT CITY - Amsterdam REVITALIZATION OF YORK

LEEDS CPULGrowing up in a small village on Lake Como, I developed a strong interest in architecture since secondary school. Thanks to several family trips around Europe, I discovered the beauty of old and modern architecture in different cities.That is why I decided to start a course on Environmental Architecture, during which I understood that the field that interests me the most was the landscape one.I took a specific module led by passionate teacher, who encouraged me to undertakethis new study experience.I am improving my graphic skills and I am becoming passionate about hand drawing, aside I feel quite clever and smart in conceivingand developing new ideas. I always create new ideas keeping in mind the potential users they would be addressed to. I amreally convinced that in our profession a good view on the sociological side is important.All these reasons brought me to enrollto Leeds Beckett University.I had to work hard at the beginning to survive in a completely different country, with people with a different culture and in a place which was largely different from my home town.This experience has helped me broaden my views and knowledge both in my studies and everyday life.

I was very passionate about this project, because the residents seemed to be playing an active role in something they would benefit from.Most of it was based on a research of principles, benefits and case studies on urban agriculture and all the forms in which it could be represented.This project was not based just on design principles but also on an accurate prior research on the surroundings and local people, as well as on any possible kinds of urban agriculture. I designedthe playground of the local primary school.The main target behind this project was to redesign the school playground, so that the children would be in close contact with natureand benefit from it. The scope was also to attract the residents attention and to encouragethem to take more care about their neighbourhood and gardens by being ground nicer for the children, but also for the residents, who will benefit from it and maybe be impressed by it, and start growing their own food in their gardens or in the community growing spaces. The areas provided in the school have different functions. There are borderingbeds with perennial plants, edible beds, where the children can work, a chicken cage, a compost bin, some beehives and fruits trees.

The York south city centre needed a regeneration, so this project was mainly about the creation of a urban space and a natural environment that would have added value to the historical environment.The other park was subjected to a more natural design, so the project included a big pond in the middle with paths all around, and two main tree- lined street conceived mainly for cyclists.

The main aim of this project was to create a green infrastructure which could permeate also the urban environment. The area is completelysurrounded by water which makes the scenario even more interesting.The main element of the design is a green island that aims at bringing all citizens closer to the green environment. Furthermore, a green stripe runs through the urban environment and tries to encourage the people to use the green spaces.

1BETWEEN CITY AND NATURE: regeneration of an old industrial site - Como

FINAL PROJECT - Leeds Beckett UniversityMajor designAcademic year 2014-2015Tutor: Chris Royffe

The site project was choosen first of all because it is in my hometown and becauseit is a derelict site, which can have great opportunity if the architects togetherwith the city council and the residents will work together to give it a new life. My project started from an analysis regarding the city and try to understand what is workingand what needs changes or improvement. Then I have reduced the scale and I have studied the project area and its surrounding, to try to relate as much as possible them together. The main weakness of the area is its location as it is outside the city centre and compressed between the urban fabric, the roads and the hill. This aspect can be transformed in a strenght, as it will be quite positive to make this site as a filter to connect the regional park, which is developed on the hill, with the urban environment. Indeed the main aim for this project is to create a multifunctional park, which means combineurban facilities and natural environmental, trying to satisfy the needs of a wide range of peoplefrom the children to the elders, which might have different backgrounds and cultures.The idea is to built as less as possible, trying to restore the existing buildings and give them mainlya cultural and artistic function. Related to the open spaces, it seems to be necessary to create hard surface space which can be used for different events and which can be as well adaptable for varioussituations. Then, there will be a lot of soft surfaces, which will be divided in different categories,which want to create a wide range of atmospheres and have the intention to bring the peoplecloser to the nature, and give them the opporunity to explore it and to understand how it works.

For more information about this project ask for the specific reports.

SITE CHOICEThis site was chosen due to its location - an urban area, linkingthe city centre with the suburbsand the regional park, which is the green lung of the city. Also because of its current state as a derelict site, wastedpiece of land which can have a lot of opportunities and which can help this part of the city to raise up and have a new face.

Amsterdam - The Netherlands

UNIVERSITY PROJECT - Leeds Beckett UniversityCities Alive 01Academic year 2014-2015Tutor: Chris Royffe

This project focuses on the landscape as a contributor to the planning and design new settlements. The project site will be part of the Western Harbour in Amsterdam. The site lies on the Ij to the north west of the city. A wide approach to the green infrastructure is required in conjunction with new mixed development.

There is a pressing need to fully integrate landscape and natural processes in a sustainable manner and development in Port-City offers the opportunity to explore design concept for green infrastructure in association with a wide range of proposed uses including residential, recreational and industrial. These proposals will help inform planning and skateholder discussion taking place in Amsterdam.

UNIVERSITY PROJECT - Leeds Beckett UniversityCities Alive 02Academic year 2014-2015Tutor: Tom Bliss

This project looks at the city environment in Leeds and ways in which groups and communities are seeking to embrace the question for more sustainable and greening residential mixed-used areas.

This study is focused on the idea of creating an alternative green corridor to the existing idea of the String o Breads, connecting Woodhouse Moor (Leeds Edible Campus) to Woodhouse Ridge. This idea comes after the observation of the lack of green spaces in the Woodhouse neighbourhood.This project will be focused in more then one area, trying to create a real green network. It will involvetwo public ground and the local primary school (Quarry Mount primary school) ground. The idea is to involve all the residents without distinction of genre, age, background.

It will be used as a social connector, as health, environmental and economicbenefit, but also as educational instrument to make the children aware about the food production and preparation and to give them more skills in term of the nature.

For more information about this project ask for the specific report.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES

Having a productive ground is important under different points of view. First of all it will increase the social benefits as it will help to create strongerfriendship, to improve children behaviour inside and outside the school.Regards to health benefitsit will help the children to have a healthier diet and to avoid the problem of oversize/obese childrenand to overtake the problemof deprivation which afflictmany families.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF YORK CITY CENTRE

York - England

UNIVERSITY PROJECT - Leeds Beckett UniversityGreen placesAcademic year 2013-2014Tutor: Chris Royffe

The site area is located in the south of York city centre between the river Ouse and the riverFoss. The site is rich of history as it can be found Cliffords Tower and York Museum Castle.It was a project inspired by the City Council Policy as they would like to removethe existing car parks and make the are greneer especially the rivers banks in the vision to create a strong connection between green and blue infrastructure.The aims for this project were to connect this part of the site with the historical city centre,to create a relation with the rivers and to design a wild park in an urban context.The area between Clifford tower and the Museum Castle is mainly divided in two part, one is a sitting area and the other one is an open square that leaves the views on the Museum and on the Tower free.The part facing the river Ouse is a urban garden with places to seat on the grass, benches and a big staircase which run from the road level to the river level.The wild park is mainly a wetland with a big pond on the middle and an informal path all around to permit to the people to experience this natural environment. On the edges along the riverbanks there are more formal paths, conceived mainly for cyclist and pedestrian with a further destination and lines of trees.

CREATE A GREEN CONNECTION

Fara Gera dAdda and Truccazzano

FINAL PROJECT - Politecnico di Milano

September 2013

Tutor: Antonello Boatti

Group work: H. Ponzoni

The main aim of this project was to reconnect these two villages through a green infrastructure which followed mainly the blue infrastructure lines.In this way our idea was to make the blue permeable by the green and viceversa.We were working mainly in an environment made by big countryside area and big intense urban and industrial area.The intention was to bring the people out from the urban area and make them discover another side of their land and make them move easily through the realization of a strong pedestrian and cycle network.The first park (Fara Gera dAdda) was though as a semi-natural area, where activities for children could take place, as an adventure park to fell them more closer to the nature, an educational centre where they can learn more about the nature and experience it directly. Then we where think also to the disadvantage people and design an healing garden where all people, also the one with disabilities, could appreciate the beauty of the nature, At last we have provide a refreshment area which could be use by walkers and cyclists for pic-nic.The second park (Truccazzano) seems to be more a linear park thanks to the landform. It connects two hamlets of the same village so the idea was to make the area symmetrical, so the inhabitants of each suburbs can join the activities. Near the urban area we have provide a urban park with sitting places, relax areas and children playground. Walking to the middle there are two sport areas thought to be used mainly by teenager or adults. The heart of the park is made up with a natural area which remember the native flora of the countryside and the native flora of the canals bank.

This cycle way want to complete the existing network, which is well know as it pass by the main naturalistic sites and sites important for their heritage value.The intention is to value the territory allowing the inhabitants to discover and live it through the slow mobility. This network want to be connected with the urban one, in order to make the cycle flow be continuous and incourage the users to use it.

The intention is to create a complete cycle network which will all the urban areas, included the smaller residential neighborhoods.The intention is to create a network which will be able to satisfy the needs of the users wich usually drive on short distances as an alterna-tive to the car.

PATH CANALIZATIONThe vegetation guide the users and accompany them along the journey, creating a sequence of wings, which can open or close the views, depending on what it want to be shown.The vegetation give a sense of security and at the same time it create some shelter areas, where people can stop during the hottest day.

ROAD MITIGATIONIn this area the vegetation has multiple roles/ On one side it is the barrier against the noise and the pollution, on the other side it protects the users from a congested and high speed road.For this reasons the vegetation in this area is really dense.

URBAN FABRIC MITIGATIONThe vegetations function in this area is to reduce the impact of the urban area on the park.The creation of green wings permit to create easily a sense of nature.

TREE LINED The trees lined along the canal guarantee the fitodepuration and they help to accentuate the canal and its flows and often they help to create a filter between the water and the other environments.

The greenway is crossing different areas and environments. For this reason a variety of cycleways have been designed, in order to satisfy the requirements of every place and to try to be suitable and to fit as better as possible with the place itself. So in the urban environment will be more common to find cycle lanes or cycle way on footpath which share the space with the pedestrian, Outside the centre of the villages will be common to have a cycleway outside the road, which can allow the cyclists to drive faster and in the countryside the cycleway will find its place on the existing rural paths, which will be restored, in order to be safe for cycling.

It handles of a small mountain village left entirely deserted now made exception for few sporadic and careless restoration works; but since 2011 the old military station has been transformed in an hostel: hopefully this is just the beginning of a process of restoration.I took care of the redevelopment of an existing building and the planning of a complete new one.To redevelop the existing building it was necessary to analyzed its status and work carefully on the reconstruction design. I decided to requalify the barn and make it as a residence: the darkest part of the barn becomes the sleeping area while the portion of the porch opened in front of the valley becomes the living area in order to keep the original structure and to keep the same balance with the nature all around as well as with the other buildings.Referring to the new building the main request was to design a common room for the community. Therefore it has been situated on mountain slopes down to the lawn in orderfor the building to receive deep breath thanks to the open space in front of it.The respect for the nature and the relationship between nature and existing buildings was one of the main characteristic of the project, therfore I have been extremely carefulto the vegetation and the topography of the mountain as well as the original structure of the existing houses.

URBAN ANALYSIS

URBAN REGENERATION

San Giorgio su Legnano - Varese

UNIVERSITY PROJECT - Politecnico di MilanoUrban designAcademic year 2011-2012Tutors: Antonello Boatti, Laura Ferrari

Working team: E. Mazza, S. Mazza, H. Ponzoni, M. Taroni, T. Valenti, I. Villa

The project has been developed in different phases: firstly we did an analysis of the village considering infrastructures, history, enviroment and landscape.This was necessary to understand what was missing in the municipality and what could be design and improve in its area. The existing document that regulates operations in the territory (PGT) was a good start point to create a new document highlighting the needs resulted from our previous analysis We had identyfied 2 different areas: + industrial + residential, with commercial windows and green spaces in additionsand design the project for their redevelopment.

In the industrial area we tried to design functional buildings but which can have at the same time an aesthetic value to improve the general quality and we added green spaces at some of them.In the residential area as well we imagined new buildings similar to the existing ones but we did not renounce to any modern and ecological technology that a new construction needs to up to date; the commercial windows expecially have been thought to have a way in and out to the green areas in front of them.

Individual project

The project had the scope to recover this abandoned place with new buildingstaking in high consideration the requested needs, such as:+ Common room to be used as dining-room and as meetings room+ Hostel with 4 bedroomsThe building sizes are relative small to be better hidden by the woodland all around. It is indeed very important to be extremely careful to the nature as it is a pre-alpine context, where flora and fauna play as leader.This is the value I tried not to forget working on the project. Looking at this purpose, I have designed the porches and the arcades all along the buildings in order to create a kind of continuity from inside to outside and viceversa; functionality of the buildings should be the result of a good balance between inside rooms and outside space. Moreover the nature should have space to whisper to the people living there to open their minds and just see the beauty around; a kind of strong relationship between human being and nature.To recognise instead the fauna existing, a cleaning in the forest has been providedas a stand point to deepen the relationship of the man with the animals.

WORKSHOP: BUILDING WITH RAW EARTH

Granara (Emilia Romagna)

UNIVERSITY PROJECT - Politecnico di MilanoTechnological architecture studioAcademic year 2011-2012Tutors: Sergio Sabbadini, Gianni Scudo, Gianluca Ruggieri

This workshop was a 2 days practical demostration about the raw earth techniques.First we have been teached about the different kind of earths, how we can recognisethem, their characteristics and the different uses related to a specific type of earth.Then we have been teached about the mixture like earth and straw and about the plasters, which we have soon after prepared ourselves.With the mixtures we prepared, we have been asked as a consequence to make bricks type adobe manually; once dried in the sun we proceeded with the building up.We then prepared wooden structures, like formworks and structures with cannicetteor bamboo related in order for our mixtures to be used grasping the supporting structure.We exercised as well the tecniques torchis and pis, which are normallyreserved to explain a more refined and elaborated artistic taste .At last we have been teached about plaster finishing and the different techniques we could adopt to realize them.
