THE EVENTARIUM
OVERALL SITE 8
Fourth Year Rome Studio - Professor David Sabatello - Semester Project The event center and museum complex is designed to bring new life back to a desolate area in Rome. With a prime location, the Galoppatoio was once home to a horse track and beautiful park. In order to draw people into the site, land ramps are used to make a smooth elevation change. Parts of the buildings are placed in or under the ramps in order to be minimally invasive on the site.
