Portfolio
Here are some of my projects.

Gymnasium_ Hypothesize that Venice is not as you know it now—it is truly different
Damaged by World War II bombs, it has been rebuilt anew, without its calli, campi and old buildings. Le Corbusier, who loved Venice, designed the new city. And the Venetians also changed: they became modernist, dynamic, intellectual, committed to sport and developing themselves. They want to be modern heroes, as Le Corbusier imagined.
Gymnasium is a mobile application which suits these needs, creating a network between new Venetians and allowing them to excercise together.
Auditum_ Auditum is a site-specific interactive installation that allows people to perceive the meaning of a unique place through a mystical and introspective experience. It is located near the church of San Francesco, Venice, in a colonnade above which Franciscan friars once processed.
Passing through Auditum it is possible to live a reflective experience that, using sound, smell and light, recalls the colonnade’s history and allows users to share, at least a little, its lived past.
Mirabilia_ Mirabilia is an old fashion Italian word that means wonder. We called our application this way because we would like that users will explore Venice as Alice explored wonderland, losing themselves deliberately in the city and discovering unexpected things.
