The project studies an urban site between Via Guido Reni and Viale del Vignola in Flaminio. Analysis of land use, mobility, existing vegetation, ground conditions and climate leads to a proposal in which residential buildings are set within a connected system of gardens and public routes.
The masterplan combines planted ground, water surfaces and permeable paving. Its detailed work considers surface runoff, drainage and water storage for irrigation and fire protection. Trees and planting are studied alongside the spaces between buildings, rather than added after the building layout has been fixed.
Environmental simulations compare the existing condition with two design alternatives. Solar exposure, wind and energy use inform the study. The boards also set out further work on renewable energy, construction costs and the social and economic effects of the proposal; these are design studies rather than measured results from a completed building.
