Instauratio Urbis III<\/h2>\n\n\n

Central Rome remains an iconic tourist destination, yet most Romans live in the peripheral housing districts. Originating from the modernist projects of the Fascist era, known as the borgate, these new housing districts reflect the long-lasting effects of urban segregation, further exacerbated by the loss of collective memory. Consequently, Rome\u2019s architectural strata appear suspended in time and space, lacking an ethos, and are unsustainable and uninspiring for architectural and political imagination. Instaurautio Urbis III aims to establish a dialogue of superimpositions between different kinds of ruins in the city: the ancient Roman ruins and the borgate as the city\u2019s \u2018modern ruins\u2019. The modern stratum interrogates and emulates the ancient, rendering the two as parallel, if not equal, strands of Rome\u2019s heritage.

Continuing Piranesi\u2019s Ichnographic Campo Marzio and critiquing Mussolini\u2019s violent reconstructions, Instaurautio Urbis III becomes a medium for the communities of the borgate\u2014descendants of the displaced and newcomers\u2014to return to central Rome, now re-imagined and manipulated. It is infused with ordinary life and the socio-political opportunities generated by life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project features a city masterplan that includes seven core functions and two auxiliary functions, accompanied by water infrastructure for the Tiber River. Of these, three core buildings have been developed in detail. The city axonometric illustrates the breakdown of the superimposition of these structures onto the landscape and ancient ruins, highlighting each core building and their conceptual construction process.
