Parco Porta Maggiore
This project in Rome investigates the Porta Maggiore site- a palimpsest of active and inactive infrastructures, physical walls and monuments. The porta itself is a monumental double archway built by and dedicated to the Emperor Claudius in 52 AD, to celebrate the two aqueducts it carries. In 271, the gateway was incorporated into the Aurelian Walls and to this day serves as a portal into the original city confines. The intervention proposed re-programs the Aurelian Wall where it intersects with the Neronian aqueducts, activates the urban enclave and engages people with the ancient monuments. Parco Porta Maggiore is the intersection not only of infrastructure- aqueducts, walls and tram lines- but also of pedestrian paths and experiential sequences through the city. Thus, the intervention is read differently from one side of the wall to the other and it’s program- cafe/nightclub/gallery and park is similarly multi-faceted.
