open competition for the design of a small green area inside the town 2016 pomeZia
the idea behind the project is to create a contemporary urban park of small size.
its main qualities are the multi-functionality, low maintenance, durability of materials and aesthetic that incorporates the colors of the city of pomezia.

Valle galeria shows the phenomenology of a disputed territory theater for more than 30 years of enviromental and social conflicts due to the presence in the area of productive activities (landfill Malagrotta, refinery, quarries, deposits of gas and fuel...).
these have transformed the character, the features of the landscape and impoverishes social life.
The closure of landfill in 2013 by decision of the City of rome marked a new phase of truce to be consilidated with an energetic action of reconstruction of the landscape of the valley in order to bring it quality and enviromental equilibrium and stimulate social reappropriation of the space.
MACRO 7
Originally in scale 1:10.000.
Phenomenology of a disputed territory: landscape permanence, land conflict, areas open to change.
A renaturation process proposes the introduction af a new trees and shrubs cover as a part of the natural component of the landscape infrastructure, with function and organization of the free space of the suffering and fragmented landscape of the Valle Galeria.
The forest land is part of the agricoltural system and it is intended for the production with poplars while the forest park identifies areas for social inclusion.
Is a system of connective crossable reforestation made of Mediterranean shrub and establishing a relationship between parts of the territory. The ring around Malagrotta landfill has a double role: it closes and isolates the hill-dump waiting time for cleaning up and qualifies and makes viable spaces immediately outside.
It contributes to the restoration of function through actions of reforestation originating near the reserve Macchia Grande and developing according to a double North-east (Massimina district) and South-east direction (refinery).

casale caletto is an area located in the eastern suburbs of rome near the aniene river.
it is a controversial area, often associated with crime and degradation, but it is also an area beloved by its residents that can be rethink as a self sufficient district from an energy point of view.
This is my work which lasted about five months.
VIEW OF THE BIRDWATCHING TOWERIn this area there is an abundance of poorly maintained green areas, some urban vegetable garden and several parking lots. The first thing to think about is: Is possible to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants? How can I connect the district to the river?
Through a combined project
The tanks can assume multiple functions and be elements of landmarks within an area that doesn’t have a strong and consolidated identity.
They can be of observation points for birdwatching near the river, water tanks for vegetable and flower gardens.
The existing buildings become part of the project. green roofs, solar panels and colored walls increase environmental sustainability and improve quality in the neighborhood.
The river’s achievement is facilitated by the creation of natural paths.
The spaces between the buildings are designed with the wildflower gardens and natural path.
Above them there are the colored decorative canopies for shelter and for the passage between the buildings.
sUrface of the eVeryday life interpretations and Visions for togliatti road
tUtor: gianni celestini
eXhiBition: Biennale spa Zio pUBBlico, rome Biennale, Venice
2014/2015
the road is the habitat of the organism-city, thanks to its ability to reactivate in the city metabolisms atrophied and rusty. the idea for Via togliatti aims to transform the way from potential insecurity rise to manned space. the active social life becomes a spontaneous garrison and a way to reduce segregation and marginalization of vulnerable groups of population.
the road must be thought of as one expressive space able to help to build a new urban quality through the rethinking of its material components.
the three activation principles to work on to make the road-system a significant interface are: SOIL, actiVities, Visions
It is a linear project that has as its main element the vegetation and joined by the bus line that links three tube stations, recognizable through a colorful soil, combining the system from beginning to end.
In itself the project has several elements that can make the road attractive in all its 8 km. It starts and ends with the incremental spaces, convertible areas with different uses depending on the time of day.
Then there is the urban forest, the natural island, transepts connection, micro woods, a meadow and a natural comb...
It is a linear project that has as its main element the vegetation and joined by the bus line that links three tube stations, recognizable through a colorful soil, combining the system from beginning to end.
On the road there will be a system of micro forests to enhance the naturalness of the area. They will function as public parks to be closed at sunset. In the future they can also have educational and research purposes.
the tramway 19 as a system for read and interpret the different landscapes of the consolidated city.
the thesis proposes the creation of a linear park on the tram line 19, which with its 14 km is the longest tramway in the capital.
the purpose of this study is to think of a tramway, generally used only as a crossover system of the city, as a carrier of an open air museum formed by gardens and different landscapes to contemplate, discover and live in their multiple shades for the cost of 1.50 €, the price of the Bit, the temporary daily ticket of rome.
Currently the tramway consists of 40 km.
Connections and intersections of the tramway in the city. The line 19 reaches 14.3 km and crosses four other tram lines.
Study of areas and activities that grow around line 19, which is the main line of internal connection to the city.
There are plenty of museums, places of worship and schools
Tram 19 runs through five municipalities and combines many environmental organizations and groups to safeguard the ecosystem and animals
The forecasts of the plans are important to understand the future developments of the territory. Around the line can be recognized some systems that divide the area into 4 sections: the relationship between the Tiber and the consolidated city, the system of the big established public parks, the transformation close to the railway and the empty spaces that are not configured yet.
The tramway there are about 50 stops, some used more than others.
The thing that is known less is that on the line there are more than two hundred significant species of flora and fauna.
Them can be observed along the line from start to finish takes about 1 hour and 40 minutes for the entire trip.
The thesis proposes the creation of a linear park on the tram line 19
The intention of this project is to increase environmental variety, creating new spaces which will make it even more abundant.
So the idea of thinking 35 new spaces of different sizes and themes that will form four macro-themes. The first, the rethinking of the barracks on the river through the water, remember the symbiotic relationship between Rome and the Tiber. The second, about the established parks and the historic villas, will present many exotic species with colored asphalt and will direct the people to the big green areas also rich in their non-native vegetation. The third, on the transformations around the railway, will be joined by the common sense of the ancient traditions and the Roman mythologies. Finally the last, with the strong presence of large spaces not configured, will be about the vegetable and spontaneous social re-appropriations of the heterogeneous cultures of the city.

A Laura CECCONI (Roma, 11/12/1990)
Laurea magistrale in Architettura del Paesaggio presso l’Università degli studi di Roma “La Sapienza” (13/06/2016)
RE: attestato di referenza a Laura Cecconi.
Roma, 24 gennaio 2017
Attesto che nel periodo da maggio a ottobre 2016 Laura Cecconi, coordinata dal Prof. Fabio Di Carlo, ha partecipato presso il mio studio, alla preparazione della mostra “Franco Zagari. Progetti” che si è tenuta nel Bastione Sangallo a Pisa dal 21 ottobre al 6 novembre 2016.
A Laura è stato affidato il compito, congiuntamente a Mattia Proietti Tocca e Marta Pagliaccia dell’esecuzione di quattro modelli di progetti di paesaggio, e di collaborare alla preparazione di altri materiali della mostra.
La prima dote di questo gruppo è stata quella di sapersi organizzare con piena autonomia e con una armonia veramente non comune. Il mandato è stato da me volontariamente molto ampio, intervenendo io solo in pochi essenziali indirizzi. Per il resto il gruppo ha letto i progetti, li ha smontati e rimontati, analizzato i sistemi componenti e espresso caso per caso il focus dei diversi temi. I modelli hanno avuto un ruolo molto importante nella mostra e hanno contribuito in modo fondamentale al successo di questa iniziativa.
In particolare Laura Cecconi, che ha all’attivo pubblicazioni e workshop di ottimo livello, ha dimostrato una spiccata maturità nel saper raccontare assetti spaziali assai complessi, con una capacità di sintesi e una poetica interpretativa che spesso mi hanno piacevolmente sorpreso come un occhio critico che mi rivelava un punto di vista a volte per me non così evidente.
Laura Cecconi dimostra una solida preparazione teorica e una buona conoscenza dei protagonisti contemporanei del progetto del paesaggio, dote che si è sentita chiaramente nel suo contributo interpretativo ai quattro temi.
Da tutto ciò non posso che esprimere, oltre che un sentimento di gratitudine per tanta generosità di partecipazione anche emotiva all’occasione della mostra, un mio parere, che Laura Cecconi, paesaggista, possieda un sicuro talento e una competenza colta del progetto di paesaggio che sono quanto mai promettenti di una brillante carriera.
Franco ZagariOggetto: Lettera di presentazione della paesaggista Laura Cecconi
La mia conoscenza di Laura Cecconi e delle sue qualità passa attraverso tutto il suo percorso di formazione di paesaggista alla Sapienza di Roma. Posso dire di aver seguito da vicino con grande interesse tutto il suo iter formativo, dai primi rudimenti sul giardino, alle due lauree, triennale e magistrale, fino ad oggi nelle sue prime esperienze nel mondo del lavoro.
Sono stato relatore delle sue tesi di laurea, entrambe con lode, su temi che hanno suscitato grande interesse come la Riqualificazione degli spazi pubblici del quartiere San Basilio per la laurea triennale e su temi molto più ampi per la laurea magistrale, con un complesso processo di valorizzazione del paesaggio urbano di Roma attraverso una delle sue linee di movimento principali, la linea tramviaria n.19, come vettore di conoscenza dei paesaggi di Roma e catalizzatore di opportunità di progetto.
L’ho vista partecipare attivamente a diversi workshop progettuali e ha collaborato con altri colleghi ad attività di ricerca universitaria. Tra queste la partecipazione ad uno dei gruppi di lavoro della mostra e ricerca “Roma 20-25”, esposta presso il MAXXI di Roma il workshop progettuale sui “Parchi lineari per Roma”, promosso da Franco Zagari, i cui esiti sono stati presentati all’ultima edizione della Biennale dello Spazio Pubblico dell’INU a Roma.
Ancor più di rilievo è stato il suo contributo nel lavoro di preparazione della mostra “Franco Zagari. Progetti”, tenutasi a Pisa presso i Bastioni del Sangallo dal 21 ottobre a 6 novembre 2016. Le elaborazioni da lei prodotte sono state presentate in mostra e inserite nel relativo catalogo.
Infine sta iniziando ad impegnarsi in attività di concorsi di progettazione, testimoniando una volontà di continuare nella propria formazione attraverso la pratica del progetto.
Laura Cecconi in tutte queste occasioni ha dimostrato capacità molto elevate, sia sul piano teorico e della riflessione, sia sul piano operativo, di concezione, formalizzazione, racconto e rappresentazione del progetto. Non secondarie risultano anche e notevoli capacità e gusto grafico e figurativo e l’attitudine a lavorare sia in piena autonomia, sia in coordinamento con altri.
In sintesi una progettista molto attenta, originale e capace, che può rappresentare un supporto più che valido all’interno di uno studio di progettazione, sia esso rivolto alle attività di architettura del paesaggio sia più in generale alle attività di progetto.
