04 CONTINUOUS R I B B O N Structural element transforms while linking four designed urban interventions
CONTINUOUS RIBBON SPINA OF ST.PETER’S ROME, ITALY SPRING 2018
Walkway structure design inspired by the structural continuity and industrial aesthetic of the rail system at Testaccio Slaughterhouse. This cultural complex, located in the central Spina of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, uses an existing Roman industrial precedent, redesigned for the eye of the public. The use of testaccio rails is intended to create a sense of familiarity for occupants,rather than the disconnect that a new intervention may cause.
