00.JACOPO MAZZOLI Master’s degree in Architecture at the University of Ferrara Hello! EDUCATION EXPERIENCE WORK EXPERIENCESkillsInfo I’m Jacopo Mazzoli. I’m a Italian architect graduated in ar- chitecture with a master degree from the University of Ferra- ra in 2026 and now I’m attending a Postgraduate School of architectural and Landscape Heritage at University of Roma Sapienza. My passion for architecture extends to its creative and social dimensions, involving communities and individuals. Throu- ghout my academic journey, I explored various countries and cultures, enhancing both my professional and personal growth. Outside of design, my interests include cinema and literature, influencing my personal researches. I am interested in urban and territorial analysis, the study of urban fabric and socio-spatial dynamics, as well as urban design and redevelopment, with particular attention to public spaces, green areas, and areas connected to river systems. I am interested in field research activities, including site in- spections, direct observation of the territory, and interviews with residents, combined with bibliographic research and data collection and analysis. I am also interested in the creation of thematic maps and graphic representations, terrestrial and UAV photogrammetry, digital surveying, and point cloud ma- nagement, as well as CAD and BIM modeling and visualization.

VILLA DEI QUINTILI 01.Master’s thesis INFO Master thesis project Place: Rome, Italy Year: 2026 Supervisor: prof. A. Ippoliti, prof.ssa V. Balboni Co-supervisor: prof. M. Zuppiroli, G. Grillini Administrative boundaries of the parks and presence of monuments along the Via AppiaHistorical overview of the events affecting the Appia Park I chose the topic of my thesis during my final year at university in Ferrara because I had decided to graduate with a specialisation in restoration. The Villa of the Quintilii in Rome has always been an interesting place to explore a noteworthy archae- ological palimpsest. Today, the complex occupies a central position in the Archaeological Park of the Appian Way, not only because of its historical and archaeological value, but also because of the role it plays in understanding the monumental landsca- pe that characterised the Regina Viarum. However, the complexity of the structures, the variety of wall and flooring techniques and the prolonged exposure to the elements make the site particularly sensitive from a conservation standpoint. The large size of the Villa led me to focus ultimately on the ceremonial area alone, without, however, neglecting the general aspects of the complex as a whole. The operating method applied was structured around five points: a historical-critical analysis of the Appian Way Park, the area in which the Villa is located; a historical analysis of the Villa’s evolution and a detailed ar- chitectural analysis of the developed area; research into the provenance and chemical composition of
Spatial layout of the rooms in the Villa dei QuintiliThe architectural and spatial evolution of the Villa over the course of history the archaeological materials, as well as their constructional characteristics; an analysis of the deterioration of the sur- faces and the corresponding restoration plan; an architectural plan for the refur- bishment of the Villa Park’s pathways and a plan for the installation of archa- eological shelters in keeping with the landscape and monument restrictions. Reading the elevations, decorated surfa- ces, and ancient floors requires an integra- ted and conscious approach, capable of bringing together material analysis, strati- graphy, conservation state, and the original use of the spaces. Within this framework, the study focuses on two adjacent rooms in the western representative sector, which are the subject of this thesis: R19, identified as a triclinium equipped with a hypocaust heating system, featuring an opus secti- le floor, and R18, an adjacent room with exceptionally preserved wall paintings and a mosaic floor that is also of great interest. The combination of luxurious decorati- ve solutions, the opus sectile, a symbol of luxury and prestige, and the mosaic, more closely linked to the continuity of fi- gurative and geometric designs, allows us to understand the different functions, hierarchical levels, and stylistic choices that defined the original layout of the villa.
The aim of this thesis is to explore in depth the architectural, de- corative, and functional significance of these spaces, considering the relationship between walls, paintings, floors, and heating sy- stems as part of a single cohesive design entity. The combined analysis of construction techniques, decorative remains, and cur- rent conservation conditions enables a reflection on the issues of preservation and enhancement, with particular attention to the dynamics of decay and the protection requirements that characte- rize a complex and exposed site such as the Villa of the Quintilii. project elevation for the conservative restoration of the Reception Rooms; zoomed-in details of the individual interventions and construction diagrams of the masonry elevations and the hypocaust

VILLA LA MENSA University project The site of this project is in Copparo, in the coun- tryside of the province of Ferrara, where Villa Mensa is located – a 16th-century papal residence that is now state-owned. The Villa is currently in a state of disuse and, given this uncertainty about its future use, the Department of Architecture of Ferrara has brokered an agreement to bring students to the site to carry out a Restoration workshop. The aim of the course was to draw up design drawin- gs of the Villa, focusing on the historical evolution of the building from an architectural point of view, based on written and documented evidence, and on the signs of deterioration of the external façades and interior spaces. With the support of an engine- er, a section of drawings dedicated to the structural stability of the building was developed. On the two pages dedicated to this project, I have in- cluded, respectively: an analysis of the architectural complex’s evolution, an analysis of the deterioration of an external façade, and a full-height section of an internal reception room, with the current condition indicated.

PONTELAGOSCURO University project The site of this project is located in Pontelagoscuro, a hamlet of the municipality of Ferrara situated on one bank of the Po. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, although no architectural evidence from that period has survived to the present day. An important trading cen- tre in the 19th century, it gained prominence in the 20th century with the construction of a village for the wor- kers of Montecatini, a former petrochemical company, the remains of which have survived to the present day. The project focused on the urban regeneration of Pon- telagoscuro, characterized by fragmented mobility, un- derused green spaces, and a lack of integrated public fa- cilities.The work was structured into four main phases: The first phase investigated the existing ur- ban condition through three main systems: mo- bility, ecological structure, and built environment. The analysis identified fragmented pedestrian and cycling networks, car-oriented streets, imper- meable and underused areas, disconnected gre- en spaces, and abandoned or outdated buildings. The second phase organized the findings throu- gh a SWOT analysis, identifying the town’s stren- gths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Typological analysis of the trees in the Po Delta area and design of the new mobility system for the town district Pontelagoscuro design masterplan
The masterplan introduced ZTL areas, shared streets, cycling and pedestrian connections, green corridors, bioswa- les, and the regeneration of paved and underused areas. Selected areas were developed through adaptive reuse and public-space regeneration. Former sugar fac- tories were converted into a Po River Research Center and a university hub, while the former school was in- tegrated into Casa L.E.A., supported by new public spaces, community facilities, and green infrastructu- re. In the two pages dedicated to this project, I have included respectively: the design masterplan of the site, some typological analysis of the trees in the Po Delta area and design of the new mobility system for the town district, Planimetric view of the Po River Flora and Fauna Research Center, Design of areas dedica- ted to greenery and water, including the types of species and a rendered view of the research center project. above: Design view of the redeveloped area below: Design of areas dedicated to greenery and water, including the types of species Planimetric view of the Po River Flora and Fauna Research Center
MANNHEIM Erasmus project “Verbindung Kanal” in Mannheim was the location of the urban planning workshop during my Erasmus in Stuttgart, Germany. From the first site inspections, the area showed great potential for the creation of new public spaces and the establishment of a rela- tionship with the water. The intervention area, north of the city center, was dominated by transport logisti- cs, with trucks and overpasses all designed to reach the canal port area. However, much of the canal front was in disuse and subject to decay. The design stra- tegy was therefore as follows: identify areas already consolidated socio-culturally on the outside and use the long canal to connect them, creating hubs in the middle to begin establishing an identity for the place. From a design perspective, a cycle and pedestrian bridge has thus been inserted between the university area and a large public park, at the respective ends, oscillatingly touching the two banks of the canal. New public and private spaces, green areas, and at- tractions have been designed this way. INFO University project Place: Mannheim, Germany Year: 2023 Professor: F. M. Haehnig, J.

Here we observe the process of weathe- ring and growing. The experiment begins with the analysis of the site-specific characteristics and the interviewing of the hosts and hosted people of Ve- nice. The squares in Venice are like hidden places in a huge labyrinth in the city and the hidden green backyards are hardly accessible. What is needed in these places is first of all vegetation and shade. A place of enjoyable staying. In this project, the hid- den green backyards are brought to the square and made accessible to everyone. They are positio- ned in such a way that they show the reference to the history and are limited in their boun daries to the building areas that once stood in San Lorenzo Square. The cool and shaded earthen stamped wal- ls are arranged around a large green courtyard. It creates many different hidden spaces for everyone to discover and experience with all their senses. The green and fertile ground is framed and held by si- INFO Workshop Place: Venice, (VE) Italy Year: 2023 Professor: R. Petersen Team: Jacopo Mazzoli, Sophia O.

These also form the base for the walls standing on them as well as the wooden structu- re positioned in the center. This purely wooden con- struction is an assistance for the growing plants and tre- es that are to shade and green the square. If the trees are strong enough, they can form the shade roof themselves and in the course of time through the process of weathe- ring they will replace the wooden construction. In contrast, the natural rammed earth walls decrease and diminish in size. In this experiment, we will observe how nature ta- kes the place, how people deal with this project and how the earthen walls work in the laboratory of the future. design photomontage Top view of the 3D-printed design model placed in context

PAESAGGI FAVOLOSI 06.Education project Paesaggi Favolosi is an educational project aimed at children and teens under 13 that uses fairy tales as a tool to deve- lop imagination, storytelling skills, and spatial awareness. Traveling through Piemonte and Liguria, it invites participan- ts to imagine places inspired by the concepts of “lightness”, “multiplicity”, and “speed” from Calvino’s American Lessons. Through expressive readings taken from local traditions and children’s literature, participants are invited to imagine and build architectures and landscapes of the imagination using materials both found on site and provided by the organization. The project thus proposes an interdisciplinary approach in which storytelling, space, and construction become tools for exploring new ways of perceiving and representing the wor- ld. The workshop takes place in 3 stops of the Transuman- za Favolosa journey: Pollenzo, Sanremo, and Genova, before the “Mamme Narranti show”. The workshop is structured in 2 phases. In the first part, a small local traditional tale is read expressively. Then, the theme of the workshop is introduced in a circle and discussed together with the participants. In the second phase, participants go in search of materials that can help in building a landscape of lightness, multiplicity, and visi- bility around the location of the workshop. The architectures, sculptures, and drawings generated from these two phases are then finally created and assembled with the help of the two tutors on the “table of desires.” Paesaggi Favolosi offers a horizontal teaching approach, whi- ch values participants’ initiative over mere formal outcomes and sees experience as a key component of personal growth. Through exploring places and collectively creating tiny ima- ginative spaces using models, the creative workshop aims to increase attachment to places and foster a spirit of indepen- dence from built space, now seen not as a given element, but as a transforming-and-transformable part of reality.
