INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR PROJECT FOR VIA DEI FORI IMPERIALI. PRELIMINARY TO DESIGN DOCUMENT

The idea of this call arises from a proposal of the Accademia Adrianea di Architettura e Archeologia and the Piranesi Prix de Rome, developed in partnership with the Order of Architects, Planners, Landscapers and Conservationists of the province of Rome and within the framework of the research, carried out for almost fifteen years, by the Accademia on the themes of the archaeology and its museographical enhancement. The initiative kicked off by the debate that has started in 2013 on the proposal made by the Municipality of Rome to intervene, including through a possible demolition of the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the large straight road realized in 1931 as conclusive result of the imperial monuments liberation program started from the Unification of Italy and the establishment of Roma Capitale.
