The project consists in the recovery and re-functionalization of a car park owned by the municipality of Rome in a multifunctional cultural center. Such transformation involves the coexistence of highly specialized functions, albeit of flexible use, capable of covering the entire range of the various forms of expression, representation and artistic production.
In order to uniquely and effectively identify the functions of the cultural center in question, the participatory method was used which involved the future assignees of the complex. Various thematic areas of activity were thus identified to be hosted in the refurbished complex: music and dance; exhibition space for contemporary arts; media library; multifunctional space (theater, cinema); support services (workshops, catering and administration).
The project strengthens the district's infrastructures by equipping it with new services and equipped green spaces, meeting and socializing areas.
