My project is a solution for temporary housing for international painters, sculptors, musicians, or anyone otherwise interested in pursuing the arts can utilize when visiting Rome. While living in the apartment units and having access to the building's communal facilities, residents engage with Rome's culture, each other, as well as the masters that are instructing them. With this building I was interested in creating a space that marries nature and building. A critical value of the project is sustainability and how the proposal can benefit Via Castrense along with its surrounding area. Transitioning from old to new, the materials become smoother. Plaster of the existing facade is stripped away to expose the brick that is under it. The existing foundation that was carved out of the foundation is recycled to form new column bases in the colonnade. The project is two stories for the sake of sustainability too, and so that each resident can have equal access to visibility, light, and air. The design of the second floor is centered around the design of the single apartment unit, which is an experiment in micro housing: it cuts down on space while still offering each resident access to plenty of light. And everyone will have access to the roof terrace through the use of these stairs, which gives a great view of the wall and just beyond it. The sustainability aspects other than the adaptive reuse component include solar power, sustainably-sourced recycled building materials, and over 2,300 square meters of green space (most of which replacing the hardly used road.) This new park is needed to better frame and preserve the historic view of the Aurelian wall adjacent to the site as well as create a more enjoyable and functional environment for the area’s residents.
