Carmela Cionfrini

I carry out this job via internet, helping with the diffusion of competitions, and contacting architecture schools, studios, companies or associations that may be interested on sharing this information in their blogs or websites. It's a non-profit activity, but I'm happy to help because I love the contests!

Since it's a small studio, my position could be explained as "a little of everything": I do measurements, draw plans, help with design and visit construction sites. I also carry out all 3d modelling and photomontages.

I was entrusted with the day-to-day organisation of different works and renovations at an important hospital in my home town, while it was open to public, so preventing works from disturbing patients and staff was part of the challenge, as well as measuring entire areas from the hospital, offering solutions to match the client's needs, preparing budgets and contacting suppliers. Some of these works featured substitution of flooring, walls or carpentry, updating computer and electrical installations or renovating rooms. The greatest project, however, consisted on the creation of a whole new Neonatology Area in an abandoned part of the building, taking into account all specific needs for newborns and relatives' attention: security and health measures, air & gas installations, incubators, air conditioning or isolated areas.
