The Gardens of Earthly Delights

The project aims to address the severance of the Tiber River and the Roman urban fabric caused by the construction of the Lungotevere, through the regeneration of lost public green space. Spatial consistency is maintained by extracting and modifying existing and past urban form. Through the creation of a network of paths and spaces on the water's edge and descending down to it, the direct connection between the city and the Tiber River is reestablished. The layering of spaces generates a dialogue between interior and exterior that is characterized by the integration of vegetation. Reintegrating public green space with the urban fabric developed as an integral part of our strategy as a way to provide a sense of privacy and repose.
