The stadium is in the former Olympic park towards the north of Rome, just north of the Stadio Flaminio (also by Pier Luigi Nervi) Piazza Apolladoro is at the intersection of the Viale Tiziano (running north-south) and Viale P De Coubertin (running east-west), home of the Parco della Musica 3

4 Ara Pacis Museum Lungotevere in Augusta Rome The Ara Pacis Museum, located along the Tiber River, near the Ponte Cavour, on the western edge of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore, is an integral part of the urban context of the Augustean Area It is designed to house the ancient relic, the Ara Pacis Augustae, a sacrificial altar dating to 9 BC, originally housed in a building designed by Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo in 1938 The only surviving part of the Morpurgo structure is a low travertine wall that Mussolini had engraved with the "Res Gestae" (the Acts of the Divine Augustus) The new design protects and enhances the relic The travertine comes from the same quarry as the stone that was used to build the Piazza of the Emperor Augustus in the Thirties; it was also, more recently, used by Richard Meier for the Getty Centre in Los Angeles and other important architectural works 2006 Richard Meier City of Rome Maarten_Scheurwater Tuesday-Sunday 900am-700pm; 24th and 31st December 900am-200pm (the ticket office closes an hour in advance) Monday, 1st January, 1st May and 25th December From Termini: METRO LINE A to BATTISTINI for 4 stops Get off at Flaminio Walk about 850 m down Via di Ripetta From Rome Ostiense station: Go to OSTIENSE/MATTEUCCI stop Take no 716 bus (marked for TEATRO MARCELLO) for 7 stops Get off at PETROSELLI Take no 628 bus (marked MARESCIALLO GIARDINO) for 9 stops Get off at LGT AUGUSTA/ARA PACIS On foot from Piazza di Spagna: Follow Via dei Condotti to its end, about 700 m Then continue down Via Tomacelli until you reach bank of Tiber 4

6 Olympic Village 1960 Viale Diciassettesima Olimpiade Rome The site selected for the 1960 Olympics was a strategic location along the ancient Via Flaminia This area along the flood plain of the Tiber had long been used as a site for sporting events Previously it had been the Piazza d Armi for horse events and there was a hippodrome Is was also easy accessible to Foro Italico across the river to the west where facilities built in the 1930's already existed including a stadium Planned Olympic facilities included 2 stadiums and housing for the athletes One stadium was to be used for football, the Stadio Flaminio, 1959, and the other for indoor sports, the Palazzetto dello Sport, 1958 Designed by Pier Luigi Nervi The apartments were to be used after the games as dwellings for 6500 people The Olympic Village was a showcase project for Rome in the years following World War II In addition to the 2 stadiums and 1500 or so dwellings, the Olympic Village is a more-or-less complete community including shopping, schools, and a church 1962 Main designer, Luigi Moretti Adalberto Libera City of Rome / 1960 Olympics Maarten_Scheurwater From termini station take busline 217 (XVII OLIMPIADE) for 17 stops get off at stop XVII OLIMPIADE 6

7 Radisson Sas ES Via Filippo Turati Rome Designed in a minimalist style, the Radisson SAS Es Hotel is the ideal place from which to explore the historic city of Rome Built on one of the seven hills of Rome, known as the Esquiline quarter, the hotel has imperial surroundings where history harmoniously coexists with contemporary lifestyles Esquilino hill is one of the highest in Rome so the views from the wooden decking of the terraces give a panorama of the whole of the north, south and east of the city out to the Alban hills urally speaking, the project has very little to do with the 19th century style of the other areas and rather more to do with the play of volumes originating in the 2km travertine wall of the station lying to the north side of the building This reference is reinforced by the use of a special plaster using a very traditional mix to give a travertine colour which in time and with help of the smog and the reddish rail dust will become part and parcel of the station complex 2002 King Roselli Architetti Radisson Sas Maarten_Scheurwater from termini: walk from piazza dei cinquecento to via Giovanni giolitti The Radisson SAS Hotel is in the Esquiline quarter, one of the Seven Hills of Rome Located just a short distance from the train station, the hotel is 30 minutes away from the Fiumicino Airport 7

9 photo: Jherry Max photo: Jherry Max Street Lab Piazza dei Cinquecento Rome The installation aims to create a space for the 'urban performance art' such as mural painting, skating and hip hop culture in general, where two activities can interact: the 'actor' of the performance and the 'viewer and user' of it, in an attempt to undo time and space barriers between 'work' implementation and its fruition The final idea is therefore a kind of 'square for graffiti' in which brutal elements of design furnishing (such as containers, 'Innocenti' pylons) deliberately collide and interact with the background objects (Serviane Walls, the roof of Termini railway station, subway stairs, etc) This forms a defined, fluid but visually open space The space could be contemporarily experienced by artists and spectators inside but also, for subsequent views, from the outside, without a clear division into functional areas, but creating instead a sort of urban, controlled chaos photo: Jherry Max , Interior architect, Landscape architect, Urban planner BRRE architects BRRE_architects Grandi Stazioni 9

10 photo: Evan Chakroff photo: Evan Chakroff La Sapienza University Campus Sapienza University of Rome Rome Piacentini was appointed by Mussolini to design the masterplan for what is now known as 'La Sapienza' (Università di Roma) campus He designed the main building, but many young Italian architects of the day contributed to the scheme: Arnaldo Foschini (Monumental Entrance), Pietro Aschieri (Faculty of Chemistry), Giuseppe Pagano (Institute of Physics), Giuseppe Capponi (Botany & Pharmacology), Gaetano Rapisardi (Faculty of Law), Gio Ponti (Institute of Mathematics) and Giovanni Michelucci (Mineralogy & Geology) The masterplan was intended to include "very Roman" buildings in brick and travertine, but the young designers used these materials primarily as cladding on buildings constructed using the latest building technologies and stripped of ornament in a Roman interpretation of international Modernism The complex stands in contrast to the EUR district of several years later, as it represents Fascist modernism yet still retains a human sense of scale photo: Evan Chakroff 1935, Urban planner Associate architect Associate architect Associate architect Associate architect Marcello Piacentini Arnaldo Foschini Gaetano Rapisardi Gio Ponti Giovanni Michelucci evanc La Sapienza is within a 20 minute walk of Termini Station From Termini, head south-west on Via Marsala (which runs along the north side of the tracks) Turn left on Via Castro Pretorio, follow this as it turns into Viale dell'universita Turn right on Viale della Scienza The main entrance will be on your left 10

13 photo: Milani Guiseppe photo: Milani Guiseppe Public Garden in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Rome The project has returned a new life to an untended garden located in one of the largest squares of the historical district of Rome The area shows a palimpsest of historical layers: fountains and aqueducts from Imperial City, the Renaissance urban plan by Pope Sixtus V, Baroque villas and gardens A regular urban development after 1870 including some modern technical plants of the Rome Subway The new design tends to celebrate and ideally connect all the historical fragments A set of streams and new fountains keep memory of the lost aqueducts The technical plants in the central area have been masked by some forms recalling elements of the Renaissance Italian Garden, such as a 'Green Theatre', the 'Stone Tree', a ramp and a 'Belvedere' They stand on a paved semicircular place like metaphysical pieces of scenery, on a stage which wants to be inhabited by people photo: Milani Guiseppe Floor area/size m² Giuseppe Milani Comune di Roma EXGRAU 5 minutes walk from Termini train Station 13

15 photo: T-studio photo: T-studio Cafe Canova Piazza del Popolo Rome The reconstruction of the "Canova cafe" placed on one of the most famous place in Roma "Piazza del Popolo" It involved renovating the inner spaces, as well as the service area and the garden to make the place more comfortable and inviting Because of the historical context the project joins together contemporary interior with the history of the place Four different theme have been used The entrance, such a representative area, with the long counter, welcomes the guests Next to the bar, the so called?giardino segreto? (secret garden) shows itself as an illuminated box, made of glass Along this box, a green area which gives name to the place The third theme is dedicated to Federico Fellini, who daily visited the Canova bar the corridor to go to "Fellini hall" is made of illuminated bands and niches The last theme involves the service areas with bathroom and kitchen A warm light, placed over the guest tables and indirect light to give character to the space are involved Floor area/size m² T-studio ARBA srl T-studio photo: T-studio 8:00-00:

16 photo: Carola Clemente photo: Carlo Peiser Federico Caffe Via Silvio D'Amico Rome The building plan is a projection of the three functions that will assume: didactic, research and general management It is composed by three joined constructions: The classrooms and library building; the laboratory, workshops and studios building connected to the general management The space and morphologic articulation of the complex reflects the functional articulation of the activities hosted inside This was planned to help spatial recognition and, as well, to put emphasis on the functions The three buildings are formally self dependant, but in a clearly interlocked manner, tough keeping their own identities The urban fitting of the new university complex is a chance to create a new space acting as a reconnection element between urban systems and architectural modules, nowadays split Toward this goes the ability for neighbour citizens to access spaces properly built by the university administration: the cafeteria, the parking and many other public areas inside the complex Floor area/size m² Contractor Spsk: Studio di Architettura e Ingegneria Astaldi Spa Università di Roma Tre clementeca photo: Carlo Peiser 8:00 am - 8:00 pm metro B, Basilica di SPaolo 16
