ROME 20-25 _ New Life Cycles For The Metropolis STRATEGIES AND VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE ROME In November 2014 IaaC joined the International research “ROME 20-25: new Life Cycles for the Metropolis” a process in which 24 architecture schools will develop project scenarios and urban proposals for the metropolitan area of Rome, with a temporal target of 10 years.

The research was organized by the Urban Planning Department of the City of Rome, and the results will be presented and exhibited in October at the MAXXI Museum.

24 ARCHITECTURE SCHOOLS 24 DESIGN AREAS The metropolitan territory has been divided into 24 square, each one has the side length of 10 kilometers and will be studied by one the participanting universities: Université De Liège / Columbia University New York / University Of Pennsylvania Dept Of Landscape Architecture / South China University Of Technolgy Guangzhou / Eth Zürich / Università Degli Studi Di Trento / Università Degli Studi Mediterranea di Reggio Calabria / Università Degli Studi Roma Tre / Università Iuav Di Venezia / Politecnico Di Torino / Università Degli Studi Di Roma La Sapienza / Università Degli Studi Di Palermo / Università Degli Studi Di Napoli “Federico II” / Universidad De Las Palmas Gran Canaria / Universitat Politecnica De Catalunya / Leibnitz Universität Hannover / Università Degli Studi G.

2 PHASES 2 SCALES OF INTERVENTION The aim of IaaC is to experiment and define, on the assigned 10x10 km area, new strategies capable to be developed in the entire metropolitan territory. It will represent a case study for the urban system.

With the Encryted Rome seminar we developed analysis and strategic proposals on the 10km x 10km area.

With the Rome 20-25 workshop we want to develop landscape and architectural-scale proposal on the 1km x 5km area, prototypes and devices capable to put into effect the territorial model proposed in the previous phase.

IaaC multiscalar approach _ The goal is to show how IaaC is centered around the concept of architecture as a discipline that addresses different scales of territorial analysis and urban development, as well as diverse architectural projects, digital processes and information environments.

METROPOLITAN SCALE ANALYSIS _ ROME 2.0 Rome is a complex, multi-layered city, due to the rapid and uncontrolled growth on the radial street system, that today is the unique link between the different urban nodes.

Rome works today like a centralized system, in which the lack of transversal connection, the frequent monofunctionality of the areas and the lack of public urban centers are generating an obliged mobility to the center / through the center.

ROME 2.0

PROPOSAL _ ROME 3.0 IaaC proposes to enhance the Roman urban agenda moving towards Rome 3.0 as an Agri/ FabCity, not only with a transversal system between enhanced metropolitan nodes, but also generating a distributed urban network, a polycentric self-sufficient city, able to produce its diffusely and locally its resources, developing social relations in shared spaces.

The metropolitan vison for Rome will be based on the generation of a productive landscape, a strong territorial infrastructure, able to integrate production of energy, food, public spaces, social functions, merging together innovation and heritage.

10KM X 10KM AREA The IaaC area is an external gateway to the metropolis and it’s innervated by the radial system of streets, which constitute the axis for the growth of the urban fabric.

GEOGRAPHY _ a large undulated territory between two mountain systems.

IDENTITY _ the entire area is characterized by a strong historic productive identity, shown by the vineyards producing the most representative wine of Rome ( the Vino dei Castelli ), the ancient farmhouses, the forests on the southern hills (with the cultivation of chestnut), the agricultural fields.

HERITAGE _ It is characterized by the presence of four monumental burghs belonging to the system of the so called Castelli, medieval and renaissance towns.

10KM X 10KM AREA _ ANALYSIS As it happens in all the merropolitan territory, the area is constellated by a system of Farmhouses, historical buildings, shared social spaces (sport and public facilities) manifacturing areas.

These are the disconnected productive nodes of the latent polycentric system that has to be enhanced and revealed by new models of organization of the territory.

10KM X 10KM AREA _ PROPOSAL In the Encrypted Rome Seminar 21 students from the MAA_01 developed new models of territorial organization, working on the nodes and/or on the links of the future 3.0 distributed system.

The design process has been based on the use of a robust spectrum of automated and manual tools and techniques. Among these, the Processing software was used to analyze the area, generate a territorial model of organization and then apply it on the territory.

7 groups proposed 7 different models, based on the strengthening of NODES : productive density LINKS : productive territorial pattern All the 7 models will be exhibited in MAXXI as a polyphonic proposal.

Anti_material Outpour ( Mehmet Yilmaz Akdogan, Asia Guney, Neel Kaul, Juan Diego Ramirez Leon ) The design process starts from the analysis of the Fractal structure of the river valleys (that innervate the northern part of the territory) to generate a script based on a fractal network as a model of organization. The model is therefore applied on the territory

1KM X 5 KM AREA ROME 20-25 WORKSHOP The Encrypted Rome seminar proposes 7 different models of organization of the territory.

Each model is based on the connection and strengthening of the existing centralities / nodes of the territory.

A selected connection will be developed in the Rome 20-25 workshop: a 1km x 5km area, defining the connection between two burghs, across the radial street system which structures the territory today.

The students, divided in groups, will develop landscape and architectural-scale proposals, prototypes and devices capable to put into effect the what designed in the previous phase.

THE BUILT CITY While the two burghs are growing concentrically, the area between them is characterized by a residential spread based on the increasing density of the agricultural lots.

STRENGHTEN AN EXISTING SLOWMOBILITY SYSTEM Using the existing system, enhance the multi-directional connection framework to develop the project

A PRODUCTIVE LANDSCAPE Two basic uses: agricultrual surfaces in the flat lands as well as forests and grasslands that make up the mountain areas.

A DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTION AND A MULTITUDE OF OWNERS -Vineyards -Olive groves -orchards

DISCONNECTED EXISTING NODES The analysis on the 10km x 10km already showed the presence of existing productive nodes: -manifacturing areas -farmhouses -historical buildings -social spaces

DOTS / LINES / SURFACES The Self-Sufficient Polycentric and distributed system will be generated through the enhance and the interconnection of Productive Nodes [ DOTS ] Slow Mobility System [ LINES ] Agricultural / Forestal Areas [ SURFACES ]

AREA 1: THE ACCESS FROM THE RAILWAY This area will provide the access to the entire system from the metropolitan railway system.

1 - “Colonna Galleria” train station: 2 - Railways Museum of Colonna (former XX century train station) 3 - “Osteria Pallavicini” farmhouse (sec XVII ), today used as a . ZERO-Km restaurant 4 - Parking serving the station, between the railway and a cultivated area 5 - Existing Mall

AREA 3 _ THE ACCESS FROM THE MOTORWAY The highway avoids today the continuity of the landscape, and doesn’t provide an access to the area.

The territory is divided into several lots, used for olive groves and orchards.

TOPICS - continuity of the landscape - food - energy - productive landscape - vertical farms - slow mobility

AREA 4 _ THE RESIDENTIAL SPREAD The area is located near the burgh of Montecompatri, which proximity is contributing to the generation of a residential spread based on the densification of the agricultural lots, today occupied by vineyards and olive groves.

While in the area the number of houses is growing, there are no public and relational spaces.

TOPICS - continuity of the landscape - food - winery - energy - performative landscape - vertical farms - slow mobility

AREA 5 _ THE ACCESS TO THE MOUNTAIN The burgh of Montecompatri is located between the agricultural area and the forest landscape, at the border of the “Castelli “ Natural Reserve The burgh is dominated by a historical religious complex (the San Silvestro Monastery ( 1) and Madonna del Castagno sanctuary), surrounded by a deciduous tree forest.

TOPICS - continuity of the landscape - food - energy - performative landscape - slow mobility
