Oggi l'area (di forma pressochè rettangolare di 25 x 30 m circa) è occupata da uno spazio verde adibito a piccolo orto oggi quasi abbandonato.L'area è particolarmente interessante perchè ad un confine pieno a Nord (un edificio residenziale tipico del dopoguerra con una cospicua facciata priva di aperture), si contrappone un confine empty (Alexandrine aqueduct park). Even the ancient ruins of the aqueduct imply a form of contrast: the pillars are opposed to full arched openings.
water from this ancient structure to life my idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a campus dedicatoall'ingegneria hydraulics. Having established the insistent presence of Roman hydraulic structures (aqueducts, Alexandria, Appio - Claudio, Marcio, Felice, the fountain of Clement XII, etc..), As well as the huge park dedicated to these, to the south - east of Rome.
The structure will have as main attraction is a small museum - exhibition space for the history, evolution and techniques of the aqueducts (great voice of course will be given to periodoromano) around This museum will integrate other functions related to water: a study center with an adjacent library on the hydraulic technology, the mini apartments for scientists and engineers of water, more space for temporary exhibitions with a "water store".
LIVING: mini apartments for researchers.
INFRASTRUCTURING: the structure is connected with the rest of the city by two major thoroughfares: laTuscolana and Casilina.
CREATING library, exhibition spaces. Exchanging
: the trade is guaranteed by the water store and trade partner - are enabled by the cultural exhibition galleries and library.
REBUILDING NATURE: The project could include a green area but the area is already provided by a wide green area (the park Alexandrine aqueduct).
Import of mineral waters from around the world.
Company, Ltd. VIVA AQUA store with a sign, is the first in Italy to sell retail only mineral water.
Urban Voids 16 The area is interesting because of its shape, its proximity to old structures (aqueducts of the Roman and Renaissance art, the smart port of Sixtus V, the fountain of Clement XII ), and vast areas of archaeological - Nature (save the Park), made me think of the area allocated to a small museum to the Roman aqueduct with the integration of some social or business premises.
