1. Piazza Interrotta (micro-Nolli, or 'Nolli to go')
This project focuses on the historic centre of the city. It takes the Nolli plan, that was the starting point for the Roma Interrotta project, and cuts it up into smaller, 'piazza sized' pieces. Each person in the studio will be randomly assigned a different fragment and make studies of that specific place and then propose a specific intervention within it. The first part of this project will be undertaken while we are in Rome. It will be further developed on our return to Sheffield.
2. Diary of details
This is an on-going observation dairy, in sketch book (or possibly blog) format. The intention is to explore detailing and design through the study of a specific Italian/Roman theme. Potential topics could include any of the following, but you are free to pick any subject that interests you.
- coffee machines
- scooters
- cafe/bar counters/fittings
- street furniture
- fountains
- market stalls/canopies
- insertions into ruins
- film posters/hoardings
3. A new Rome in a week (100ha per day)
This short, broad brush project focuses on large-scale interventions on the periphery of Rome. Drawing on the diverse range of large urban elements that already exist on the edge of the city, this project will explore alternative ideas for new urban interventions at a similar scale (500ha) to the recently proposed theme park.
