Fragment of the 18th century Map of Rome by Giambattista Nolli (1748) with the churches of Borromini prominently surrounding the Piazza Navona, the Pantheon a bit further to the east. The church interiors are drawn as cavities within the solid built mass of the city, making for an elegant visual expression of the ambiguous status of these ‘sacred’ spaces that defy easy categorization within the private-public/black-white binary logic of the map. The Piazza Navona was built on the vestiges of a stadium, the circus of Emperor Domitian, which demonstrates that heterotopias can over time develop into public spaces.

THE COMMON

The Common The Park itself is a common space, we define the concept of collective space, neither private nor public

DEMONUMENTALIZATION

The grid has not directionality, no expressivity, no hierarchy, and supposedly no symbolic content. It is what it does, and in its sense, it claims for a formal logic of neutrality - it is an isotropic distributive order.

MULTI-SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

Architecture that articulated the being in the world and strengthens our sense of reality, make us experience ourselves as complete embodied and spiritual beings. J. Pallasmaa

ENGAGEMENT
