SPECIAL PLACES, FUNCTIONS
TRACES AND SURFACES
TRACES AND SURFACES it's a project that's try to work on the gap between Rome and its river, created in the 1870 with the constructin of the new banks.
The Tiber river represents the birth of the ancient Rome and it's ever been a food and energy resource but at the same time its "strong personality" destroyed bridges, buindings and life several times.
Now the river is almost invisible from the top to the romans and it runs quietly, but if you go down on its benches, you can still feel all its power that comes from far away, that you know through myths and legends.
The project is set on the Tiberin Island, as the ancient point of origin of the City, and it wanna be a new pulse for the new urbanization of the banks in south and north direction, with different functions.
University final project (May 2007)
