Recognizing the very basic genetic information of Nervi’s Palazzo dello Sport, a dome whose tension ring is the seating area, I proposed a multiple differentiation of the structure. Each iteration changes the position of the tension ring and its length (number of seats). The different configurations are analyzed in Multiframe (engineering software) to find their deflection for a concrete section under self weight. (Studio 402 - Prof. Ciro Najle / Jose Arnaud)

"While AAP shares with Cornell an incredible flow of energy and people, it also has the familiarity of a small school. I value these last four years at Cornell as a constructive and dear experience."

B.Arch. 2007

In AAP I have found an academically stimulating environment with remarkable professors and valuable friends. The school has a constant ambition to improve, which is reflected in its solid and updated education, distinguished lectures, and latest technology.

AAP has the advantage of having a very diverse academic world that exposes you to different ways of thinking and design approaches. Professors are motivational, always willing to help and advise you, often becoming mentors and friends. While AAP shares with Cornell an incredible flow of energy and people, it also has the familiarity of a small school. I value these last four years at Cornell as a constructive and dear experience. It has made me grow academically and as a person, expanding my horizons.
A prototype of a new dome for Nervi’s Palazzo dello Sport is done by arranging the sections according to their vision fields and latent sport courts. The structure is affecting and been affected by its use (program) and other physical systems (the courts). The new structure decentralizes the views and thus the central control by making the whole ground a field of latent courts. (Studio 402 - Prof. Ciro Najle / Jose Arnaud)
