ABSTRACT

The research and the drawings of this intervention are part of a cycle of experiments series, which are feasible, though unusual, and look, making use of architectural instruments, for some possible solutions to important “urban paradoxes” in Rome. In particular, I refer to three of them: 1. the city backwardness in applying communication methods between its actual and historical forms aimed to design new urban layouts; 2. a renewed acknowledgement of the Tiber role in the city after the detachment due to the high walls built by Canevari on the river banks at the end of XIX century; 3. the lack of control of the city suburbs development and the progressive flacking of the urban form. The three parts of this research deal with them.
