The area considered in the project is the Veterinaria campus in Milan’s Città Studi. As a complex district with many academic institutions, Città Studi has gradually expanded and emerged since its planning in the early 1900s, contributing to the development of the surrounding urban area in the eastern suburbs of Milan. While carrying out this thesis project, our primary goal was to preserve and transform the site and buildings based on their historical significance. For our chosen theme, the building in the centre of the veterinary campus, the former animal clinic, we planned to observe and analyse its role and history of change to understand its architectural typology and the adjacent relationships within the site. By tracing the historical photographs, drawings and some relevant literature on the site, we have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the veterinary hospital grounds. In keeping with the original plan, we have also expanded northwards from this to add two significant new volumes. One is a steel-structure and timber-facade lecture theatre, which provides an academic discussion or exhibition function for students and staff on campus. The second is the entrance hall, which has been transformed by removing the classrooms and raising the ground floor to act as a link between the old and new buildings and as a distribution place for different users. Moreover, we propose to strengthen and repair the original parts of the building to adapt them to the functions of the new research centre. In particular, by studying the architectural language between different structures and materials, the old and new buildings are integrated into the same environment, bringing new vitality to the site.
L'area considerata nel progetto è il campus di Veterinaria nella Città Studi di Milano. Come quartiere complesso con molte istituzioni accademiche, Città Studi si è gradualmente espansa ed è emersa fin dalla sua pianificazione nei primi anni del 1900, contribuendo allo sviluppo dell'area urbana circostante nella periferia est di Milano. Durante la realizzazione di questo progetto di tesi, il nostro obiettivo primario è stato quello di preservare e trasformare il sito e gli edifici in base al loro significato storico. Per il tema scelto, l'edificio al centro del campus veterinario, l'ex clinica degli animali, abbiamo pianificato di osservare e analizzare il suo ruolo e la sua storia di cambiamento per comprendere la sua tipologia architettonica e le relazioni adiacenti all'interno del sito. Grazie alle fotografie storiche, ai disegni e alla letteratura sul sito, abbiamo ottenuto una comprensione più completa dell'area dell'ospedale veterinario. In linea con il progetto originale, abbiamo anche ampliato il progetto verso nord, aggiungendo due nuovi volumi significativi. Uno è una sala conferenze con struttura in acciaio e facciata in legno, che offre una funzione di discussione accademica o di esposizione per gli studenti e il personale del campus. Il secondo è l'atrio d'ingresso, che è stato trasformato rimuovendo le aule e rialzando il piano terra per fungere da collegamento tra il vecchio e il nuovo edificio e da luogo di distribuzione per i diversi utenti. Inoltre, proponiamo di rafforzare e riparare le parti originali dell'edificio per adattarle alle funzioni del nuovo centro di ricerca. In particolare, studiando il linguaggio architettonico tra strutture e materiali diversi, gli edifici vecchi e nuovi si integrano nello stesso ambiente, portando nuova vitalità al sito.

Abstract
The area considered in the project is the Veterinaria campus in Milan’s Città Studi. As a complex district with many academic institutions, Città Studi has gradually expanded and emerged since its planning in the early 1900s, contributing to the development of the surrounding urban area in the eastern suburbs of Milan. While carrying out this thesis project, our primary goal was to preserve and transform the site and buildings based on their historical significance. For our chosen theme, the building in the centre of the veterinary campus, the former animal clinic, we planned to observe and analyse its role and history of change to understand its architectural typology and the adjacent relationships within the site. By tracing the historical photographs, drawings and some relevant literature on the site, we have gained a more comprehensive understanding of the veterinary hospital grounds. In keeping with the original plan, we have also expanded northwards from this to add two significant new volumes. One is a steel-structure and timber-facade lecture theatre, which provides an academic discussion or exhibition function for students and staff on campus. The second is the entrance hall, which has been transformed by removing the classrooms and raising the ground floor to act as a link between the old and new buildings and as a distribution place for different users. Moreover, we propose to strengthen and repair the original parts of the building to adapt them to the functions of the new research centre. In particular, by studying the architectural language between different structures and materials, the old and new buildings are integrated into the same environment, bringing new vitality to the site.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
