During the second semester in Rome, our architectural project unfolded on the historic Caelian Hill, nestled among the remnants of the Temple of Claudius. Departing from conventional masterplans, this endeavor transformed into a vast public park adorned with formal gardens, water features, and garden structures. Drawing inspiration from the Italian Gardens of the Renaissance by Shepherd & Jellicoe, and visits to locations like Villa Lante, Villa D’Este, and Villa Farnese,Caprarola, laid the foundation for the understanding of formal gardens. The park, designed not only as a public space but also as a retreat from busy Rome, especially as greenery unfolds further from the city center, serves as a serene escape for residents and visitors alike.The latter part of the semester centered on a hospice and rehabilitation center for Rome's unhoused population, aiming to provide shelter, showers, a cafeteria, and essential support spaces. Despite its urban setting, the design embraced a rustic approach, attuned to the sensitivities of the users and the villa's integration within a larger garden and park. Noteworthy design elements included creative plan development, manipulation of poche, and the incorporation of several loggias, showcasing commitment to both functionality and aesthetics in addressing societal needs.
