CHI SONO

PASSATO: il cantiere come playground, studiare architettura sostenibile per capire che l’architettura o è sostenibile o non è

Fin da bambino ho giocato attorno a mattoni, legno, materiali recuperati in cantiere da mio padre e mio nonno entrambi mastri muratori. il mio destino era (più o meno) scritto. Dopo la laurea triennale in architettura sostenibile vinsi un concorso con la mia tesi (relativa a un villaggio ipogeo per contrastare la diffusione urbana) e decisi che avrei frequentato la magistrale in architettura in inglese. Ero stufo degli aggettivi dopo la parola “architettura” (l’architettura è sostenibile o non è!) e ero affascinato dall’imparare con persone provenienti da tutto il mondo. Fu la scelta giusta!

Per ultimare il mio percorso di studi studiai in Erasmus a Vienna. Al Politecnico i professori mi chiedevano il “perché” a Vienna il “Come”. Scelsi Vienna perché ero affascinato dai differenti approcci all’architettura from Sitte to Hundertwasser, da Otto Wagner (il mio preferito) a Coop Himmelblau. A vienna abitai nel progetto residenziale del Viadotto progettato da Zaha Hadid: un’occasione stupenda per giocare con con lo spazio, i suoi muri inclinati e la relazione interno / esterno.

Ritornato a Milano decisi la mia tesi avrebbe riguardato la città diffusa, il luogo in cui ero nato, e in cui vissi  fino ai 20 anni. Ho investigato le storie ordinarie dietro al più banale materiale presente nei paesi italiani: la casa unifamiliare. Faccio parte di quella generazione “Erasmus” che, allontanando il punto di vista dal proprio paese, ha imparato a riconoscerne le mancanze e le contraddizioni pur continuando ad amarlo e che, per questo motivo, ha deciso di restare con la forte volontà di esserne parte attiva e non semplice spettatore.

PRESENTE: tra professione, attivismo e ricerca 

Oggi dopo 10 anni passati in significativi studi di architettura o intrapreso un percorso professionale personale e con la mia startup che sperimenta un approccio circolare in architettura. Nel 2019 ho co fondato Re-sign SB Srl una startup innovativa con l’obiettivo di innescare l’economia circolare nel settore delle costruzioni. Dal 2014 sono tutor al Politecnico di Milano in laboratori di progettazione urbana con il tema “fare urbanistica dopo la crescita” e recentemente in corsi di tecnologia dove ho la possibilità di approfondire la mia ricerca sul riuso dei materiali.

VISIONE: migliorare, o almeno non peggiorare, per le future generazioni il mondo che mi è stato dato 

Credo nell’attivismo quotidiano: il mio mezzo di trasporto preferito è la bicicletta. Sono co-fondatore di Cycl(H)ub una ciclofficina popolare e fondatore di Va’rese microvalorizzazione del quotidiano un progetto di mappatura a Varese. Dal 2016 sto portando avanti con Legambiente Varese Casamatta un luogo in cui imparare facendo il significato di economia circolare.

ATTITUDINE DIGITALE

Dal primo anno di università immagino l’architettura attraverso un approccio BIM. Mi sono innamorato del software Archicad e l’ho introdotto in  tutti gli studi in cui ho lavorato: nessuno se n’è pentito. Nel 2021/2022 ho frequantato un master di II livello per rafforzare le mie competenze BIM. Mi diverto ed esploro il mondo dal cielo con un drone che mi permette di lavorare con la fotogrammetria e le nuvole di punti.

SOFT SKILL GURU

Sono in grado di produrre buoni risultati in molte aree, sono organizzato e motivato. Ho fiducia in me stesso e ho una mentalità aperta. Riesco facilmente a costruire relazioni potivie con le persone con cui collaboro. Sono curioso, appassionato e sempre pronto a imparare.

INTERESSI

Architecture

I seriously consider architecture the way we grasp the world

Photography   Do you wanna see? ▶

I love photography: quoting Luigi Ghirri: is a useful tool to questioning what surrounds us

food

Food is culture 

Graphic  Are you curious?

I'm interested in graphic design as a mean to communicate contents

Visualization and communication design   Also?!?

I'm interested in communication: a good project bad communicated is -unfortunately- a bad project

Teaching  

Adress students towards their own way to conceive good architecture is stimulating and gratifying

Travel   Click if you want to read my reportages 

Without experiencing the world around us we cannot, as architects, give a form to what we have in mind

Movies 

The place, Le Mépris, Enter the void, Underground, High Fidelity...

Books

I.Illich, R.Sennet, Byung-Chul Han, M.Augé, G.Clement, M.Heidegger,...

Music

I'm an amateur guitar, accordeon, drums, harmonica player

Bicycle   I'm serious, yes
I believe bicycle is the most efficient human-powered means of transportation. I'm co-founder of a kitchen bike in Varese.

REFERENZE

"In summary, a figure of a "restless" researcher and professional emerges, moved by a remarkable passion, very up-to-date on the debate on architecture and the city in Europe, and who can certainly make a very significant and original contribution in the field of teaching."

Chiara Merlini

As the reader may have the opportunity to verify, Marco is not a common person. His civil commitment for the common good is vast, his competence levels and creative control are of the highest rate, and he is gifted with the valuable capacity of promoting the future with actions and of making things happen. I myself would be very happy of the possibility to count on his support for my future endeavours. Indeed, he is recurrently one of the persons who come up first to my mind whenever some particularly enticing and important professional problem pop up in my activities.

Gianluca Brunetti

I greatly appreciated his contribution, both in terms of specific skills and in terms of the ability to relate to students and colleagues. In fact, he always proved to be ready for confrontation and constructive dialogue.

Stefano Guidarini

In my view, his capabilities are uncommon and highly sophisticated. He has demonstrated a particular aptitude for developing and testing innovative hypotheses in the context of multidimensional design, thanks to his intellectual vivacity and his curiosity, tackling themes in a creative way and placing them at the crossroads between the study of new living spaces, the in-depth knowledge of the context and environmental sustainability.

Francesco Infussi

As I often say to him too, Marco Zanini brings together archaic and futuristic components. You will see him speeding by bike, dealing with self-construction, reuse, and at the same time creating maps, Innovative Startups and BIM projects with his digital skills.

Arturo Lanzani

He has the ability to produce excellent results in a wide variety of areas, being organized and motivated, self confident and open minded.

Roberto Mascazzini

On every occasion in which we have collaborated, his intelligence, analytical skills and humanity have given excellent results.

Matteo Umberto Poli

Over the years, Marco Zanini's tenacity and rigor have allowed him to gain in-depth experience and knowledge in the field of urban design, architectural design and process design.

Paola Savoldi

I met Marco for his many cultural activities in the Varese area and I was immediately struck by his passion and seriousness but above all by the broad and profound vision with which he tackles any topic.

Luigi Vine Semeraro

He is a culturally rich individual, positively curious and interprets the role of architect in the noblest way: favoring the humanistic profile but without neglecting the tools and operational protocols necessary for the efficient development of projects. He has an excellent knowledge of work tools which he combines with great learning skills.
