PresLam Design, Flaminio Project - Master Thesis
ABSTRACT: The thesis investigates the benefits associated to the application of Pres-Lam technology in a Residential Buildings in a Low Seismic Zone as Rome. Developing the Architectture aspect of two different typology of residential bildings: Tower and Line Buildings, using always as a guide line the pricples of: Sustainability, Flexibility, Quality, and Well being. Subsequently A 5D Analysis was carried out to find out the Cost and Time of the structures using Revit and Primus and Navisworks.
ABSTRACT: La tesi si propone di affrontare il tema della tecnologia PRES-LAM in ambito residenziale in una zona a bassa sismicità. Si è quindi scelto un caso studio a Roma, Quartiere Flaminio, area di recente sviluppo architettonico. Successivamente si affronteranno i problemi di natura strutturale e tecnologico nell’utilizzo del PRES-LAM, principalmente nella tipologia di edificio “a Linea” e “a Torre” quali “modelli” di Architettura in grado di applicare i principi di: Sostenibilità, Flessibilità, Qualità e Benessere degli abitanti. Successivamente si propone un modulo dell’edificio a Linea sviluppandone i tempi e i costi di realizzazione e valutandone la fattibilità.

Nice to meet you;
I'm Lorenzo Glielmi! I'm currently working at CRAFT ENGINEERING STUDIO in New York, a leading structural engineering hub specializing in residential projects and complex analyses of free-form structures. I'm passionate about the impact of technology on the environment and society, especially within architecture and engineering.
I hold a Master's Degree in Building Engineering and Architecture from the University of Rome "La Sapienza," where I completed a thesis on "Pres-Lam Structure in a Low Seismic for mid/high rise timber Residential Building, Case Study: Flaminio, Rome." During my university years, I began working as an Archviz specialist, producing high-quality renderings for architects, enhancing my design skills and understanding of architectural aesthetics. Additionally, I spent a year at Universidad de La Coruna in Spain, participating in an architecture contest, and took extracurricular courses in Seismic Design and Precast Low Damage Building in Rome.
My professional journey began with a significant achievement: winning the "Tornosubito European Project." This award led to a 6-month internship at Format Engineers, where I applied theoretical knowledge to real-world projects using tools like Grasshopper, Karamba3D, and 3D printing. Despite challenges during the lockdown, I completed my thesis project on timber and post-tensioned timber buildings in Rome, further fueling my passion for timber structures and sustainable design.
At CRAFT ENGINEERING STUDIO, I enjoy working closely with architects on diverse projects, driven by a passion for collaboration and innovation in an international environment. I am keen to continue advancing my parametric design and BIM workflow skills.
I am always open to new ideas and projects. If you have opportunities or projects that align with my interests, please feel free to reach out to me at lorenzo.glielmi94@gmail.com.
