This essay explores, in the case of Rome, how the presence of the ancient Roman Imperial Walls became a source of inspiration for the new architecture built in the vicinity of the Walls in the '60s. It is very much an undiscovered topic, and represents an appropriate and a truthful way to understand how the "eternal city" was able to respond to the most urgent demands of modernisation within the historic fabric.

It is very much an undiscovered topic, and represents an appropriate and a truthful way to understand how the "eternal city" was able to respond to the most urgent demands of modernisation within the historic fabric.File in questo prodotto:
