PROGETTO PER LA RIQUALIFICAZIONE E RISIGNIFICAZIONE DI VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI

General Considerations The classical concept of beauty, based on the iconic archetype of the ideal city, is the paradigm. Central perspective is the methodological refence, and geometrical mark is the re-foundation act. The starting point is the road/square/park designed by Muñoz, which is at the same time the first revelation point of the Imperial Forums, and the design of a new arrangement of the central archeological area, referred to the capital city to be re-founded. In this idea Via dei Fori Imperiali is meant as the result of an historical process, characterised by some key changes, which leads to the consideration of the road and the monuments connected for their aesthetical value, defining it as “the most beautiful street in the world”. This means introducing the idea of Via dei Fori Imperiali as a work of art.
