The river bend at Tor di Valle is read through three themes: traces, vegetation and movement. Lines of sight and connections to the surrounding city establish a framework for the park. Woodland and open meadow give it alternating enclosed and open spaces, while the changing edge of the Tiber informs the landscape structure.
The masterplan brings together agriculture, sport, land art and places for quiet recreation. Paths connect allotments, sports grounds, a rowing area, play spaces and wooded settings for meditation. The detailed studies develop productive gardens and a bamboo landscape, with circular clearings and timber platforms. Planting sections and irrigation proposals explain how these different areas are arranged and maintained.
