PALIMPSEST STUDIES

The projects focus on three distinguished, but interwoven, phases of study:

inventory

analysis

interpretation

By drawing a series of existing conditions in Rome, we were engaged in observing and documenting the physical presence of the city and build a rigorous inventory.

Through analysis research, we were able to acknowledge the underlying principles of organization that order and give meaning to the considered whole .

Through interpretation transformation and adaption of the analyzed sites, we were able to learn from the use of precedent and a series of architectural rules (canons) to be applied within the architectural design process.
