Tommaso Ferraiolo

Architectural Designer & 3D Specialist

Born and raised in Rome, I developed an early interest in architecture, following a path first taken by my grandfather.

Living and studying across different cultures has shaped the way I observe places and approach design, encouraging an open and adaptable creative process.

Currently completing my master’s degree in Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome, I am interested in how the built environment influences the way we experience space, movement and time.

My approach focuses on lightness, structural efficiency and the use of digital tools throughout the design process.

I am particularly interested in minimal systems that define space with precision while remaining open, adaptable and materially efficient.

International Open Private Architectural Design Competition
New Building for the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panamá

Developed through an international collaboration, the proposal for the new Museum of Contemporary Art of Panamá introduces a distinct civic presence within the surrounding urban fabric. A colored brise-soleil wraps the building, filtering sunlight and framing the internal staircases that connect the museum from ground level to the roof.

Survey Campaign

Fiumefreddo Bruzio
Province of Cosenza, Calabria

Fiumefreddo Bruzio is a medieval hill town on Calabria’s Tyrrhenian coast, defined by steep terrain, narrow streets and a layered architectural heritage.

The town became the subject of a surveying and restoration course led by Professor Alfonso Ippolito, focused on documenting vulnerable portions of its historic fabric.

Using terrestrial laser scanning and LiDAR acquisition, the team produced point clouds and digital reconstructions of selected areas, creating an accurate record to support future conservation.

Point-cloud data was processed to produce an accurate three-dimensional model, preserving a measurable digital record of this part of the town and supporting its future conservation.

Catania 2050

Developed around a long-term vision for Catania in 2050, the masterplan explores how public space, landscape and new urban interventions can guide the city’s future development.

The proposal seeks a balance between innovation and local identity, using the relationship between natural and built systems as the basis for a more sustainable urban structure.

The Parametric Approach

In the countryside of Peñafiel, Valladolid, the Bodegas Protos winery by Richard Rogers became the subject of a parametric study focused on its vaulted roof structure.

Using Grasshopper, I reconstructed the system as a series of adjustable modules, exploring how geometry, repetition and structural logic could be controlled through parameters.

R-Gen Farm

r-Gen farm

Concept plan for R-Gen Farm

R-Gen Farm transforms the abandoned Casale Sudrié site on the eastern edge of Rome into a center for urban agriculture, learning and community activity.

A hydroponic and vertical farming facility is combined with flexible spaces for exhibitions and workshops, allowing production, education and public use to coexist.

The courtyard is organized around lightweight steel structures and circular canopies that collect rainwater. Together, these elements provide shade, support cultivation and establish a clear spatial identity for the renewed site.
