Die Aufgabe besteht in der Umgestaltung des Arbeitsperimeters in metropolitane, öffentliche Räume. Dabei gilt es den suburbanen Stadtcharakter genauer zu untersuchen und gestalterisch umzuformen. Die Verdichtung des Raums durch bauliche und gestalterische Interventionen, die Festlegung von Nutzungen und der konzeptionelle Umgang mit den Gestaltungselementen sind wichtige Anforderungen an den Entwurf. Das Ziel besteht darin, herauszufinden, wodurch sich metropolitane, öffentliche Räume kennzeichnen. Rome, Tiber, Open Spaces The Tiber river will be the subject of the Fall 2010 ETH Landschaftarchitektur course, headed by Gunther Vogt, with Sebastiano Brandolini as Gastprofessur, and Domique Ghiggi as assistant. One area is more central (North Area), the other is more suburban (South Area); each of the two areas comprise both the East and West shores of the Tiber, in Rome. Rome is the single major Italian city; its shape still conserves a strong centrality, with the ancient radial roads maintaing. The river Tiber, as many rivers of European capitals, historically acted as a landscape catalyst when the city was founded almost 3000 years ago, but then gradually lost its public role as a place of representation: becoming a transport infrastructure, a sewer and a monumental backdrop; today the Tiber is seldom used by Romans, and is barely a tourist attraction. Environmentally, the Tiber, in spite of being a small river, can still be rather threatening, when there are heavy concentrated rainfalls to the north. In spite of being canalized and heavily trafficked, the Tiber still belongs to the classical mythology of the city. Among the major European towns, only Paris and Berlin, seem to have really turned their rivers into public spaces. Rome is a dense town, with a high ratio of green space per inhabitant. The centre is dominated by the Archeological Park, a complex puzzle of monuments, open spaces, hills and abandoned sites, which can require days to explore. In section Rome is a stratified and faceted excavation site of different epochs, styles and ideas, which gradually over time grew onto and into itself (this fascinated Sigmund Freud). Then, there are important public parks originating from the estates of major renaissance aristocratic families, such as the ones surrounding Villa Borghese, Villa Ada, Villa Torlonia; their walls no longer represent unsurmountable boundaries. The Vatican Gardens belong to this family of historical parks, but are not open to the public. Rome was originally built on seven volcanic hills. Some of these are no longer legible having been flattened and digested inside the urban fabric, while others can be still identified 6 Aufgabe (Palatino, Gianicolo, Celio, Pincio). The hills, together with the river have determined – over the centuries – a strong relationship between the districts of Rome and the landscape; and this is also explains the beauty of the city. The centre of Rome, as it is now, is really a 19th century. Now the hills on which Rome sits are hundreds. Even in the Borgate (which are the extensive post-worldwar II expansion districts of Rome in the countryside), one senses this vital and ancient relationship: gently winding roads, never flat but always going up and down (very few bicycles, as a result …), streams, bridges, distant views, natural amphitheatres and ridges, compensate for the frequently poor architecture quality. The vegetation is luxurious and exuberant, and seems to self-regulate itself, without need to be accurately designed and planned. Over the centuries this self-made anarchic garden enchanted the travellers from the north. The Tiber seems to possess four different natures, along its extended urban pathway. 1. In the original and ancient centre of Rome – where there is the Isola Tiberina – the river originally offered an easy military ford, and this can be still visualized. 2. To the north and to the south of the centre the river is now a canal; the embankments were built in the late nineteenth century, with a triple function: contain the river from flooding, create a north-south road infrastructure, and accomodate the primary sewers; before, the Tiber had been allowed to breathe and vary over the seasons; once a year it flooded the centre and the lowlands, to bring away foul bacteria, dirt and the rubbish; there are photos of piazza Navona and of the Ostiense area under water. 3. Further south and north, the Tiber still possesses a natural look, with irregular shores, acquatic plants, canes, etc; this can be seen in the North Area to the South of the centre between the Ostiense and Magliana districts and the E.U.R. (Esposizione Universale Romana, a monumental Fascist project with political and business scopes built between the late ‘30s and the early ’50), and to the north of the centre near the Ponte Milvio and the Farnesina Ministero of Foreign Affairs. 4. Further upstream and downstream, the wide bed of the Tiber valley has become the ideal site for where to locate railway and motorway infrastructures, northbound towards Umbria and Tuscany and to southbound towards the Sea and Fiumicino Airport. So, the Tiber has four natures, from the centre outward: 1. military, 2. canalized, 3. natural, 4. infrastructure. In the manifold recesses of its sprawling urban fabric, Rome still displays: large buildings, panoramic open spaces, long roads, complex infrastructures and rhetorical monuments. Originating from nature: the Tiber, the seven hills. Surviving from ancient structures: the Archeological Park, the Aurealian walls, the via Appia. From the last 500 years: the road network linking the different Basiliche, the aristocratic parks, the piazzas and fountains. From the 20th century: the Corte di Cassazione (il Palazzaccio), the Corviale and other borgate residential settlements, the train station of Termini, the Parco dell’Appia Antica, the Vatican axis, Aufgabe 7 the G.R.A. orbital motorway (Grande Raccordo Anulare), the E.U.R. So, in contemporary Rome there is still space to consider large-scale strategies and projects. The Tiber is a powerful infrastructural line linking different features and zones of the city; it is frequently invisibile and unreachable, except from the Lungoteveres and the bridges. Its interior space provides opportunities for distant views, for long walks, for isolation and contemplation, for sport and leisure, for small navigation. But there is more to it: along the Tiber Rome has today the opportunity to elaborate a new pact with its own landscape. Some of the underlying questions might therefore be: 1. what can the open spaces of the contemporary city be? 2. what can the open spaces of the contemporary city be for? 3. can the river Tiber be considered ein Raum, rather than a limit? 4. can urban Rome – between the Aurelian walls and the E.U.R. – invent a novel relationship with its water, its topography, its recent history, and its landscape? The North Area The North Area comprises two sub-areas. The East Sub-area comprises the large Italgas industrial site bordered by via Ostiense, via del Commercio, via del Porto Fluviale and largo Puccioni; on the opposite side of via Ostiense, the Mercati Generali area will be transformed by OMA/Rem Koolhaas, and this project should be considered as built. The West Sub-area, slightly smaller, is an abandoned industrial area (Mira Lanza), stretching from Lungotevere Papareschi practically all the way to viale Marconi. Historically, and still today, these industrial areas formed closed-off precincts. The Gasometers and other industrial structures stand out as symbolic monuments for the southern districts of Rome and can be seen from far away, and are now part of an unwritten collective urban memory. The Mattatoio (Slaughterhouse), just north of via del Porto Fluviale, is an interesting example of a renovated industrial complex. The Tiber is at this point channeled; on the east shoreline there is neither a road nor a pedestrian pathway; on the west shoreline is both a road and at a lower level a pedestrian pathway, the latter continuing north and south. The northern edge of the site is the Ponte dell’Industria (a bridge built around 1880, when Rome enjoyed a period of building boom, following the Italian unification); the bridge is to be considered an important part of the site. Via Ostiense and viale Marconi are important entry roads from the south, and at present have no relationship – visual or functional – with the river. There is a lot of real estate activity along these two axes, including offices, university departments and commercial facilities; on via Ostiense there is a museum of ancient Roman sculpture. A pedestrian bridge has been designed linking the East and West Sub-areas. 8 Aufgabe The two sub-areas should be planned and designed together, as if they made up a single site. Students might want to extend the project site beyond the limits of two industrial areas; the East Sub-area can be extended north towards the Mattatoio, and south along the Lungotevere San Paolo; the West Sub-area can be extended north towards the Lungotevere Portuense and south along the Lungotevere Pietra Papa. The South Area The South Area differs from the North Area in its shape, “grade of naturality”, relationship to the surrounding urban fabric and future prospects. The two areas share the fact of bridging across the river, creating a sort of mirror situation overlooking the Tiber. The South Area flanks a panoramic river meander which is not canalized, about 1 km in diameter. The West Sub-area is a strip of terrain-vague, that is of undefined land, whose width varies roughly between 100 and 200 meters, between the Tiber on one side and Lungotevere Magliana, via della Magliana and Lungotevere degli Inventori to the east. Presently one can find sport facilities, petrol stations, horse-riding schools, car-repair works, open-air restaurants and promenades: all semi-illegal activities whose hybrid identity between being and not-being real or lasting architecture make them anyway politically acceptable to the local community. If the river floods, all these light structures would disappear. The East Sub-area , being the inner side of the meander, is shorter. Between Lungotevere Dante and the waterline, we find similar provisional activities as on the West Sub-area. The strip of land is generally wider than the the West Sub-area. The half-moon of land behind via Dante is occupied by a chaotic mix of individual buildings of very poor quality; there are a dog-racing track, University departments, some housing, and a swimming-pool built for the 2009 World Swimming Championships, which got caught in the middle of a major corruption scandal. The quality of the soil is poor and the land has never been properly reclaimed. Albeit imprecisely, the Tiber frontage continues inland all the way to via vasca Navale and via Salvatore Pincherle. The city and the river do not reciprocate in any clear way. The northern limit of the South Area is the Ponte Marconi; the southern limit – less precise – is the end of Lungotevere Dante and its west-side counterpart.

Was sind öffentliche Räume in der Stadt? 2. Wie bilden sich öffentliche Räume und wie gestaltet man sie? Baufläche In jedem der zwei Areale (Nord oder Süd) wird auf max. 15% der Fläche gebaut. Die Studierende definieren wo, wofür und wie dicht gebaut werden soll. Nutzungen In jedem Areal sind folgende Nutzungen möglich: Wohnen, Gewerbe, Kultur, öffentlicher Raum, privater Raum, Transport, Sport, Freizeit. Die Studierende definieren die Nutzungen. Gestaltungselemente Es sollen folgende Grundelemente berücksichtigt werden: Grenzen, Eingänge, Wasser, Boden, Vegetation und Infrastruktur. Die Studierende definieren und gestalten die Grundelemente. Die Studierende bearbeiten in zweier Gruppen die zwei Entwurfsareale (Nord und Süd). Eine Person überarbeitet den Norden und die andere den Süden individuell. Übergeordnete Themen wie Grenzen, Eingänge, Parkplätze, Wege und Strassen werden in der Gruppe diskutiert. Programm 17 Methode Es gibt viele Herangehensweisen um sich dem landschaftsarchitektonischen Entwurf anzunähern. Zwischen der Formulierung des Programms und der Kommunikation eines Entwurfskonzepts liegen unzählige Denkbewegungen, die sich in Handzeichnungen und Plänen, in Modellen, Filmen oder 3D-Visualisierungen widerspiegeln. Ziel des Entwurfssemester ist, den individuellen Prozess bewusst zu machen und zu optimieren, sowie der Imagination im kritischen Umgang mit den eigenen Gestaltungswerkzeugen Tür und Tor zu öffnen. Das Entwurfssemester «Process Cartography» befasst sich vorrangig mit dem Gestaltungsprozess an sich; dies unter Einbeziehung der komplexen Fragestellungen, die für das Gestalten von Freiräumen städtebaulichen Ausmasses wichtig sind. «Process Cartography» handelt von den Übersetzungsschritten, von der Ortsanalyse über das Entwurfskonzept zum Entwurf und seiner Kommunikation, die jedem Entwurfsprozess eigen sind. Das Verständnis von Kartographie bezieht sich damit nicht mehr allein auf die 2-dimensionale Darstellung von Topographien und messbaren Räumen, sondern auf die Übersetzung von Erfahrungen oder Phänomenen in jeweils andere Medien. Wenn man mit Bezug zur Landschaftsgestaltung beispielsweise an atmosphärische Qualitäten oder sinnliche Eindrücke denkt, die einen Entwurf ausmachen sollen, an die Repräsentation von Licht und Schatten, Farbe und Textur, von akustischen Phänomenen, Trockenheit und Feuchtigkeit, von mineralischen und vegetativen Materialien, gerät man schnell an die Grenzen der konventionellen Karten mit dem Anspruch an eine weitgehend objektive Darstellung. Es macht deshalb Sinn, die Definition dessen, was eine „Karte“ ist, zu weiten. Wird die Kartographierung als eine spezifische Notationsweise eines ausgewählten Phänomens verstanden, kann dementsprechend auch ein Film eine Karte sein, ebenso eine Zeichnung, oder eine Skulptur. Was diesbezüglich interessant ist, ist die Übersetzung ausgewählter Informationen zu einem Phänomen in ein Kommunikationssystem und damit die Darstellungskriterien, die für die jeweilige Karte spezifisch sind und nicht zuletzt ihre Tauglichkeit im neuen, kommunikativen Kontext, in den sie gestellt wird. Während des Semesters wird «Process Cartography» anhand von Besichtigungen, Workshops und Vorträgen erprobt und diskutiert. Dabei werden der Kontext, um den ein Übersetzungsschritt jeweils geschieht, und die Werkzeuge, mit denen gearbeitet werden kann, erörtert. Die Studenten werden angeregt, auf diese Weise Fragestellungen anzugehen und die Entscheidungen, die einem Übersetzungsprozess zugrunde liegen, zu reflektieren. 18 Process Cartography Methode Die in «Process Cartography» zu gestaltenden Entwurfsgebiete haben dezidiert städtebauliche Ausmasse. Der Massstabssprung, den Architekturstudenten demzufolge vollziehen müssen, macht das für das Fach Landschaftsarchitektur notwendige transdisziplinäre Denken und Arbeiten offensichtlich: für den Entwurfsprozess ist das sich aus den Fachgebieten Geologie, Hydrologie, Vegetation, Infrastruktur, Städtebau, Soziologie, Kulturgeschichte rekrutierende Fragenrepertoire in seiner ganzen Bandbreite relevant. Neben der Erarbeitung und der Diskussion der Ortsanalyse wird eine subjektive Herangehensweise betont, die die Perspektive des Fussgängers bewusst in den Vordergrund stellt. Diese steht im Gegensatz zu der in der Architektur generell verwendeten panoptischen Perspektive. Sie ist aber auch Mittel zum Zweck, um neue, räumliche Szenarien auf ihre horizontalperspektivische Tauglichkeit zu überprüfen. Process Cartography Methode 19 Werkzeuge Werkzeug Gehen Bewegungen und Handlungen sind raumgenerierend und können gestalterisch genutzt werden. Bewegungen, die beim Gehen auf dem zu entwerfenden Terrain stattfinden sind unweigerlich Bestandteil der Konzeption: man überquert das Gaswerkareal oder umgeht es, geht gezielt oder schlendert umher. So gesehen können wir über Choreographien reden, die einem Gebiet eine Gestaltung einzuschreiben vermögen. Werkzeug Typologie Park, Platz, Garten, Promenade, Hof, Friedhof. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den Typen ist produktiv: Sie sind eine Orientierung im Entwurfsprozess. Als Strukturmodelle für Problemlösungen verlangen sie nach ortsspezifischen Aktualisierungen. Die typologische Herangehensweise präzisiert nicht nur den Charakter eines Entwurfs, sie verleiht ihm auch Selbstverständlichkeit. Die Typen machten zudem Qualitäten hybrider Räume überhaupt erst wahrnehmbar. Werkzeug Bilder Gesammelte Beobachtungen, Fundstücke und Erinnerungen sind ein Fundus für das Entwerfen. Je grösser die Distanz der Bilder zur eigenen Disziplin oder zur eigenen Zeit, desto grösser der Raum für individuelle Aneignungen. Der kritische Umgang mit den eigenen und mit den vorgefundenen Bildern ist in der heutigen Bilderflut wichtiger denn je. Werden Bilder spezifisch eingesetzt, ergänzen sie die anderen Medien, und konkurrieren nicht mit ihnen. Werkzeug Nolli-Plan Der in Como 1701 geborene Architekt und Landvermesser Giambattista Nolli erarbeitete zwischen 1736 und 1748 die erste präzise Stadtkarte von Rom, La Pianta Grande di Roma, heute allbekannt als der Nolli-Plan. Der Plan besteht aus zwölf eingravierten Kupfertafeln, die insgesamt 176x208 cm messen. Seine Besonderheit ist, dass der öffentliche Raum (weiss) vom privaten Raum (schwarz) differenziert ist. Zum ersten Mal wurden beispielsweise Innenräume von Kirchen und Innenhöfen in einem Grundrissplan als öffentliche Räume aufgenommen. Somit gelingt es Nolli die stadtbaulichen Räume Roms als Konglomerat geschlossener und geöffneter Räume und die Stadt als Zusammenspiel privater und halbprivater, halböffentlicher und öffentlicher Zonen darzustellen. Damit gibt das Werk Hinweise auf die sozialen, kulturellen und politischen Lebenslinien, auf die Muster des täglichen Lebens und des Rituals in dieser Stadt. 20 Process Cartography Methode Werkzeug Plan Sowohl in der Architektur als auch in der Landschaftsgestaltung werden Entwürfe vor allem mittels Plänen kommuniziert. Das Verständnis dessen, was ein Plan ist, hat sich jedoch mit dem Übergang von handgezeichneten zu am Computer gezeichneten Plänen drastisch geändert. Weitaus mehr kreative Möglichkeiten sind nun zur Hand. Und doch werden digital erstellte Pläne oft in einem unterentwickelten Stadium akzeptiert, dem das eigentlich erforderliche Mass an Zeit, Konzentration und ästhetischen Überlegungen, die notwendigerweise bei einem handgezeichneten Original gefordert waren, fehlen. Die Plandarstellung wird als reines Kommunikationsmedium verstanden. Dies bedingt eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung bezüglich der Absicht und den Entscheidungsprozessen, die dem Plan als Kommunikationsmedium unterliegen. Werkzeug Modell Das Arbeitsmodell als Entwurfsinstrument hat eine sinnliche und intellektuelle Dimension. Es ermöglicht, Konzepte zu konkretisieren und zu überprüfen. Das Modell ist nicht nur eine Projektion des neu entworfenen Objekts, vielmehr vermittelt es bereits eine unmittelbare Erfahrung damit. Für die Herstellung eignet sich das Verfahren der ‚Bricolage’, wie es Claude Lévy-Strauss beschreibt. Ursprünglich habe das Verb ‚bricoler’ Tätigkeiten wie Ballspiel, Jagd und Reiten bezeichnet, alles nicht vorgezeichnete Bewegungen. Der Bastler arbeitet mit Bestehendem und erzielt mit begrenzten, heterogenen Mitteln unerwartete Lösungen. „Der Bastler legt, ohne sein Projekt jemals auszufüllen, immer etwas von sich hinein“. Werkzeug Text Eine Geschichte über das Projekt formulieren heisst, Eindrücke, Aufgabenstellungen, Analysen und gestalterische Massnahmen zu verarbeiten und als Vorhaben in einen präzisen, verbindlichen Text zu bannen. Jeder Akt der Verschriftlichung hat etwas Normatives. Das ist ein Grund, warum wir uns damit oft so schwer tun. Umso interessanter ist es, diesen Übersetzungsschritt - vom Sammeln und Analysieren zur Entwicklung eines Projekts - von jedem einzelnen Studierenden abzufragen und individuell zu begutachten.

During the past 40 years, however, after a mixture of planned and informal urbanizations of its surrounding territory, the center city has become even more distinct as a „head,“ not for the rest of the world but for the vague megalopolitan body that extends in radial tendrils as distant as 30 kilometers. From a compact city of interpenetrating social and historical layers, Rome has in the span of two generations become a diffuse, starshaped city of discrete striations set within a 1500 square kilometer metropolitan district. On the surface the transition from a comprehensible city of marvels to an incomprehensible sprawling conurbation is not immediately apparent and visitors continue to delight in the center city‘s sensual ambiance of winding medieval streets, festive baroque piazzas, and melancholy ancient ruins without much awareness that there is a contemporary city outside the Aurelian walls that is both ten times as large in population and 100 times greater in area. The conceptual segregation of this other Rome from the city‘s center is what on the one hand conforms to a more general trend in urban development in which edges have grown while centers decline, but on the other hand is what makes Rome unique, since it is not just any city that is being turned inside out, but the most historically resonant city in the West and probably in the world. Lacking the historic components of a strong industrial base and an enterprising managerial class, the forces of modernization have been mostly external to Rome‘s development, more appropriated than appropiate to the city‘s languorous character. The historic center has never satisfactorily adjusted to modernizing imperatives, in particular mass transportation, due to the topographic irregularities of its famous hills and winding river, the unbreachable density of its historic fabric, and the bureaucratic snarls in implementing infrastructural support, such as subway extensions and district garages. There have been plans for over 30 years to build 19 public garages at the entry points to the historic city, and more recently the municipality approved a plan for 300 garages, but to date only two have been finished, one at Villa Borghese, the other near Castel Sant‘Angelo (Seronde Babonaux, 1983). Although the second line of the subway system was opened in 1973, and the track extension has grown from 11 kilometers to 27, the destinations are still limited to linear routes and serve only a small portion of daily commuters. The plan to add a third subway line in time for the Jubilee in the year 2000, running four kilometers from the Colosseum through Piazza Colonna to a stop near the Vatican, proved to be exceedingly expensive, as it would have required digging 25 to 60 Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte 30 meters below the city in order to both avoid interrupting activities on the surface while bypassing the archaeological strata that had posed such setbacks to the first campaigns of the subway‘s construction. The most recent addition to Rome‘s transportation infrastructure, the now abandoned Air Terminal near the Ostiense train station at Porta San Paolo, is as Francesco Perego puts it, „emblematic of the incapacity to think and manage the renewal of the city.“ (Perego, 1993) Proposed as part of the package of improvements funded through Italia ‚90, the 1990 World Cup Soccer Championships, the project was intended to create an efficient terminal for public transportation to the airport at Fiumicino, about 20 kilometers to the west. The costly new Air Terminal, built on abandoned state railway property, failed to attract users because it was as poorly connected to automobile circulation and bus access as it was to subway connections, requiring a 760 meter (15 minute) walk from the subway stop, served by escalators and people movers that were regularly out of service. The train to the airport has currently been rerouted to the Termini station, and the empty Air Terminal awaits some future use, perhaps as the place for package tours and pilgrim groups to enter the city. Of the recent planning initiatives, it seems that only the efforts to eliminate modern aspects of city life seem to succeed in Rome. Automobile traffic increased to crisis levels with the development of Rome‘s edges, and by 1991 only 33% of the 600,000 daily commuters were using public transportation compared to 58% in 1981 (Pazienti, 1995). The 1995 program to limit automobile circulation in the historic center, which builds on the first pedestrian zones begun at Via dei Condotti in 1965, expanded in the 1970s as the „zona blu,“ and now amplified to include about 65% of the area inside the Aurelian walls as the „fascia blu“ (blue strip), from Piazza del Popolo to Via Cavour, has noticeably alleviated the perpetual traffic jams on the major center city thoroughfares such as Via del Corso and Corso Vittorio Emanuelle II. Only buses, taxis, cars with disabled occupants, and vehicles that pay an annual fee (about $500) are permitted to drive through the „fascia blu“ during business hours. Such a measure, while it has helped to relieve the chaotic traffic in the historic center, has not been bolstered by improvements to other forms of transportation and effectively exacerbates Rome‘s stubborn inability to modernize. Although the increase in traffic was initially boosted by the developing of the suburbs, the subsequent limit on automobile traffic contributes to the expulsion of modern life from the center making it increasingly inert and exclusive. Rome‘s fundamental incompatibility with modernity, combined with the ineluctable onslaught of mass automobility, post-industrial forms of employment, and the general desire for space, economy, and hygienic efficiency on the part of the contemporary dweller, have coerced much of the real life of the city to its edges. Government assisted housing projects Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte 61 initiated since the approval of the P.R.G. (Piano Regolatore Generale) plan of 1962 (revised in 1964 and 1967) are still being built during the 1990s on the city‘s outskirts and range from new town scale, such as the 30,000 unit Tor Bella Monaca, to single buildings like the infamous Corviale project for 4000 residents, which became a symbol of the Italian ghettoization of poverty. In the areas between these planned sites an estimated 800,000 illegal units, housing about one third of the city‘s population, have been constructed during the past 30 years (Lenci, 1992). The urbanizing potential of „abusivismo,“ this unplanned but by now conventional method of treating the city‘s suburban in-fill, occurred under the auspices of an elaborate kick-back system („tangenti“) whereby officials and professionals would be bribed handsomely to ignore the constraints of the city‘s master plan. The pervasive practice of corruption explains to a great extent why most planning initiatives in Rome have been doomed to create the reverse of their aspirations. Whenever a plan is put into law, it is almost certain that there will be both cumbersome disagreements between competing local and state bureaucracies that hold up the implementation of the plan, and that illegal development will be attracted to the area surrounding the plan. In the mean time, after decades of suburban settlement, Rome‘s planned and unplanned neighborhoods have adjusted to modern life and have reached a modicum of urban normalization. The once vilified periferia, scene of the desperate shanty landscapes in the Neo-realist films of Pasolini and Fellini in the early 1960s, is no longer peripheral but rather has been absorbed into the mass of a greater polinucleated urban region. Still these outer districts remain bleak and inhospitable, completely lacking in public spaces, parks, and amenities. Emulating the success of Barcelona‘s suburban program to create neighborhood identity through public spaces, the municipality initiated the „Cento piazzi“ program directed by Francesco Ghio in late 1995. Construction began on the first piazza in 1995, and 19 competitions followed in the attempt to create new focii of urban identity. Ultimately, considering the sorry fate of the housing initiatives, the success of the Cento Piazze program will depend on the degree to which the authority to implement the designs can be concentrated into a single, rather than multiple, source of authority. Like so many of the world‘s cities, Rome has undergone a major structural shift since the end of World War II: the center has been vacated to become a repository of symbols, and a fairly dysfunctional reminder of a momentous legacy of urban values. The overwhelming majority of Rome‘s current population lives outside the walls of the historic city, and increasingly the center with its outstanding collection of famous buildings and historic spaces is stiffening into an abstraction, distant from daily life. Of its current municipal population of about 2.7 million (the metropolitan population is about 3.8 million) only an estimated 12% live inside the core area of the city, which includes the historic rioni inside the walls and the 62 Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte adjacent 19th century extensions. The actual decline in residents in the historic center went from a maximum concentration in 1936 of 436,000 to the 1981 low of 137,000--the greatest outflow occurring from 1955 to 1980. (Pazienti, 1995; Perego, 1986) Some of the population drain came with the enlarging of apartments, or in many cases the speculator‘s ploy of keeping units empty to increase the demand (there are currently an estimated 187,000 units kept off the market). As in many metropolitan situations the demand for premium office space close to the center encouraged the transformation of domestic properties into commercial ones, despite restrictive planning legislation. About 40% of the city‘s jobs are concentrated in the center and 47,5% of these are in the public sector. Rome is the site of city, provincial, and national governments, as well as the international headquarters of the United Nation‘s FAO, and the bureaucracies and related services of each of these administrations has put a steady demand on the available spaces of the center. The area between the Quirinal, the Pantheon, and the Capitoline has been mostly commandeered by government or associated functions. While this transition has guaranteed vitality in the center during business hours, it has led to an atmosphere that is conspicuously vacant after 8:00 P.M. To be sure, the historic center has not been physically abandoned, as it has in many American contexts. In fact, Rome, which was probably the filthiest, worst maintained, and most overcrowded capital city of Europe in the early 1950s, is now impressively restored, hygienically well served, and by comparison immaculate. But contingent to the careful preservation of historic buildings, and the subsequent concentration of government and tertiary functions in its spaces, class diversity and daily life have been forced to emigrate outside the walls. The great urban scenes, such as the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, and the Spanish Steps, once the focus of diversified communities, have congealed into rarified cultural attractions, as much for the residents of the city as for the tourists. This civic schism, in which urban life has been displaced from urban form, was partly planned through the implementation of new infrastructure and the subsidizing of housing construction, but also partly planned against in the attempts to legislate through rent control and restrictive use clauses for the preservation of community in the historic center. Luigi Petroselli, mayor during the late 1970s when „progetto fori,“ the plan to expand the archaeological area of the Imperial Fora was put into effect, expressed the official desire to maintain Rome‘s social fabric: „We don‘t want the historic center of Rome to be either a museum or a privileged place for luxury dwelling. The historic center has to live, and its life should be the element that unifies the entire city around new values.“ (Ciccone, 1993) Despite such good intentions, the failure of modern planning to coordinate infrastructure, Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte 63 urban design, and community formation is perhaps nowhere more evident and lamentable than in postwar Rome, where the warmed-over architectural models of utopian Modernism designated for the city‘s outskirts were dragged into the fathomless labyrinths of local and state bureaucracies, while undisciplined speculation took control of the center. The center‘s eventual conversion from a diverse social fabric into a sparsely inhabited series of exquisite postcard settings--what is beginning to appear like a four square kilometer museum, or theme park--was not only predictable, but, considering Rome‘s long-standing dependence on tourism, inarrestible. The historic factors for the center‘s apotheosis into the realm of „museality“ are as compelling as the economic and social circumstances that stimulated the urban mitosis between center and edge. While Rome still prevails as the undisputed seat of Roman Catholicism with its captive Vatican state, and it rules as the capital of the ever more precarious union of the Italian state, it also languishes as the greatest city of the past, the fulcrum of Western history, a legacy that has kept it on the world stage as a symbol of the center. The authority, grandeur, and melancholy of the physical remains of Rome have offered palpable models for architects, urbanists, artists, and poets since the Renaissance as the locus of the idea of the city. The city‘s loaded historic fabric continues to attract intellectuals and popular classes alike as one of the key narratives in the search for cultural origins. The exponential growth of international tourism since World War II became a factor beyond the city‘s control, contributing greatly to its recently split character. With the fortuitous convergence of the twin ritual obligations of religion and high culture, Rome, some time in the 15th century invented modern tourism, which currently on the world scale has become the premier consumer enterprise. The first tourists came as dutiful pilgrims participating in the medieval economy of salvation, whereby visits to churches and relics would score indulgences toward personal redemption. Their yearly numbers were in the tens of thousands and by the end of the 16th century, when the hospice institutions started keeping records, a fairly accurate figure of 400,000 can be tallied for the Jubilee year of 1575. By the mid-16th century the influx of visitors, attracted by the artistic and historic patrimony as much as by the granting of religious indulgences, generated a significant part of the city‘s income in the form of consumer services. There were more hotels per capita (estimated at one per 233 inhabitants in the 1526 census) than in any other city in premodern Europe, and with these came restaurants, crafted goods, guidebooks, prints, entertainments, and pleasures of the flesh.(Delumeau, 1957) Much like Venice, Rome would come to rely on the tourist demand to sustain its local production. As Rome began to lose its importance as the diplomatic center of Europe during the second half of the 16th century, its principal product of exchange increasingly became the experience of the city itself. 64 Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte That Rome should currently appear as one immense museum is thus not accidental. It was in the Humanist atmosphere of 16th century Rome, in fact, that the idea of the museum took hold, starting with the collections of ancient sculptures at the Capitoline and at the Vatican‘s Belvedere, and extending to the palaces of the local patritiate, such as the Della Valle, Farnese, and Borghese, whose courtyards, gardens, and specially built art galleries were stocked with art works and freely visited by the elite tourists of their times, serving as models for 19th century public museums. The museal spirit was projected to the exterior of buildings and public spaces as well. The Renaissance practice of encrusting facades with ancient and pseudoantique spoglia, the installation of Egyptian obelisks as the termini of Sixtus V‘s boulevards, the addition of spectacular fountains by Bernini and others--culminating with the great water theater of the Trevi fountain and the cascading steps of Trinità dei Monti--all contributed to the notion that the city itself was a single great collection of visitable works. It should not be shocking then to interpret today‘s center of Rome as a theme park, when for at least 400 years it has been conceived that way. The significant difference of course is that the reproduction of everyday life that had once evolved in these settings, a life that occasionally included political or social events that were not in the script of papal Rome, gave them a dimension of reality that is currently in danger of being lost. Since the end of World War II, despite the increased maintenance of the city‘s historic patrimony, there has been very little creative cultivation of Rome‘s museal tradition. If the center can be thought of as a theme park, it is an antiquated one. The meager attempts to renovate the museum experience, such as Constantino Dardi‘s retrofitting of the late 19th century Galleria d‘Arte Moderna on Via Nazionale opened in the mid-1980s, or the more recent installation of the Municipal Museum of Modern Art in a small convent near Via Tritone, are extremely timid efforts to provide spaces suitable for the modern art experience. It is as if the weight of the past, combined with the strict laws against changing anything classified as historic patrimony have kept these institutions doggedly unmodern. When one compares analogous interventions such as the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Santa Monica convent in Barcelona, or the Musée Picasso in Paris, the lack of will, talent, and administrative fortitude becomes apparent. The chance to develop modern attractions outside of the center, in particular the film studios of Cinecittà, which could have become a European version of Universal Studios in Hollywood, has not been acted upon and now the area is most famous for its nearby, privately developed shopping mall, Cinecittà 2. The key to a new museal strategy for the center during the past two decades has been progetto fori, the decision put forward by the architect Carlo Aymonino in 1978 to expand the archaeological zone of the Imperial Fora, transforming it into a new kind of park, allowing public access to the ongoing archaeological activity, while uprooting one of the most Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte 65 prominent reminders of Mussolini‘s heavy hand, the Via dei Fori Imperiali. Site of the major sventramento of the Fascist regime, for which 5,500 units were demolished and the residents displaced 15 kilometers out of city as part of a forced decentralization program. Having torn down an entire historic district, only 25% of the ancient ruins were actually left visible when the paving of the broad highway of Via del Impero (now Via dei Fori Imeriali), conceived for military processions from the Colosseum to the famous balcony on Piazza Venezia, and now an essential traffic artery. (Kostof, 1973) The proposal to eliminate the road was initiated in the 1960s by Leonardo Benevolo in his astute reading of the city, recognizing that Rome had the unique potential of a several kilometer long finger of parkland extending from the Capitoline to Via Appia Antica. (Benevolo, 1971) The left wing municipal administrations between 1975-85 began a program to better exploit this feature with progetto fori, giving independent authority to a commission led by the archaeologist Eugenio La Rocca. If fifteen years later the only changes have been to close off to traffic the strip between the Colosseum and the Arch of Constantine and open a 200 square meter dig on the side of the road, the delay stems not from the lack of a plan but from the difficulty of building a consensus around this prominent urban site. Progetto fori was not the only initiative taken as a means of reversing or contradicting the results of Fascist planning. In the highly ideological atmosphere of postwar Rome, in which the reigning Christian Democrats were ridiculed for maintaining Mussolini‘s 1931 P.R.G. plan and completing many of its bombastic projects, such as the Via della Conciliazione leading from Castel Sant‘Angelo to St. Peter‘s and the new district of E.U.R. (the site of the aborted World‘s Fair, Esposizione Universale Romana, planned for 1942) that had been added as a variant to the city‘s plan in 1937. In reaction to this attempt to induce the city‘s growth on a western axis to the seaport of Ostia, anti-Fascist planners in the late 1950s proposed to create four kilometers to the east an „asse attrezzato,“ a new business and governmental axis, somewhat on the scale of La Defense in Paris. Re-christened in the new master plan as S.D.O. (sistema direzionale orientale), it was meant to link up efficiently with E.U.R. and the new freeways and is perhaps the most unfortunate example of how Roman postwar planning usually achieves the opposite of its objectives. Development has occurred everywhere except on Via Togliatti where the S.D.O. was supposed to be generated, and the necessary infrastructural features have never been properly connected and will now cost many times more than their initial budget. Since its inception the S.D.O. has been revived and abandoned in cycles to the point that it has become a colossal urban phantom. The latest cycle of revival for the S.D.O. came with a special law known as „Roma Capitale“ passed by the Italian parliament in 1990, hoping to give new governmental authority to planning projects on the model of the planning of Paris. The S.D.O. finally would be 66 Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte launched by the transfer of seventeen public ministries, including Health, Finance, and Postal. (Ciccone, 1993) But six years later there are yet to be any indications that the ministries will be moved. One new factor that may change the sluggish development of the S.D.O. has come with the privatization of the railways. It now seems possible that the major station of Rome will be transferred from Termini in the center to Tiburtina, not far from the S.D.O., a move that would greatly improve the plan‘s chances to become a business center and help decongest the center. The planning circumstances of a strictly regulated historic center, embroiled bureaucracies controlling the official sites of development on the edge, and abusivismo everywhere else has not been auspicious for architecture. Compared to other European capitals, Rome has little of merit to show, despite the prosperity of the postwar period. Of the 83 public housing projects built in this period, the results range from Expressionistic excrescences to nostalgic neo-traditional typologies, and they universally lack quality in details, construction, and infrastructural concept. One of the only works of monumental scale and architectural quality to appear has been for an institution that competes with Rome‘s spiritual hegemony--a grand mosque, by Paolo Portoghesi, Vittorio Gigliotti, and Sami Mousawi, opened officially in 1995. Planned in 1974, during the years of the oil embargo, the project was intended to flatter Arab interests, but now, since the arrival of thousands of African immigrants during the past 20 years, the Mosque has assumed a real mission as a religious center. The site overlooks the nature preserve of Monte Antenna on the northern edge of Parioli, Rome‘s wealthy 19th century suburb. The mosque‘s lead covered dome cuts a memorable figure on the skyline, while the elevations, rendered with the tiny bricks used in 17th century baroque works, adds a material richness to the project that is absent from most new buildings. Of the 450 projects proposed in the „Roma capitale“ law of 1990, the only significant project to be undertaken is the new scarab-shaped Auditorium designed by Renzo Piano for a site quite distant from the S.D.O. near the Olympic Village. This program has been planned for several different sites since the 1930s when the Auditorium was removed from the Mausoleum of Augustus during the demolitions surrounding that site, and the current site on the Via Flaminia will prove difficult to access from the more populated southern reaches of the city. It is not only because of the shift from center to edge that the mood of the historic center of Rome has definitively changed. The mid 1970s were particularly bleak years after the exuberance of the „Dolce Vita“ 1960s. Drug traffic invaded some of the most cherished public spaces, and discarded syringes were a common site in the glorious baroque fountains. Terrorist attacks on public figures, kneecappings, kidnappings, and car bombing had become a common occurrence, culminating with the clamorous kidnapping of Premier Aldo Moro and his subsequent assassination. The police repression of terrorism during this period was Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte 67 as uncomfortable as the threat itself. It was at this point that most Romans elected to stay at home, moving to the edge and abandoning the center. Restaurants were empty and public spaces desolate. One of the most creative responses to these „anni di piombo“ („years of lead“), as they are now called, was put forward by the architect Renato Nicolini, the city‘s cultural assessor during the years of the leftwing municipal administrations, 1975-85. His program for „L‘Estate Romana“ (the Roman Summer), sited in the archaeological sites of the future progetto fori, transformed empty urban space into lively fairgrounds. For the first edition in 1978 a huge cinema screen was installed inside of the shell of the Basilica of Maxentius, and for the months of July and August a cycle of films, ranging from classics to new commercial films to independent cinema, were shown. Almost overnight „Massenzio,“ as it was popularly dubbed, became the pretext for the return from the edge to the center, where people could experience the mingling of classes in a new ritual. This strategy to reunify through spectacle was very self-consciously referred to as „l‘effimero,“ the ephemeral, and evolved into a post-modern revival of Rome‘s legacy of urban theater. L‘Estate romana led to a collective rediscovery of space, a popular occupation of the great ruins that ordinarily the citizens rarely visit. The event informally engaged hundreds of side activities, including restauranteurs, actors, musicians, artists, and artisans who set up temporary stands that often served to spawn new businesses in the crafts and restaurant line. One year L‘Estate romana was sited in the Colosseum, another year it used the restoration scaffolding on the Arch of Constantine to hold up the film screen, for several years it was sited in the great empty drome of the Circus Maximus. Compared to the way that opera had been using the ruins of the Baths of Caracalla for its summer shows, L‘Estate romana was more transgressive, since it involved all walks of life in a more participatory way, taking back part of the privileged city and establishing the sort of casual mix one used to find in the piazza. L‘Estate romana was revived in 1992 and has had even greater attendance than during Nicolini‘s time, but like all good things that are repeated, it has lost some of its spontaneity, having lapsed into an institution. It nonetheless provides a positive lesson to the city: one of Rome‘s greatest resources has always been the ephemeral, and this, more than expensive built projects that do not work or horribly tied up plans that yield their opposite, may be the best vehicle for reappropriating the city. In self-consciously guiding the citizens to be tourists of their own city, and thereby teaching the city about itself, such events make use of the only thing that has ever worked in Rome. While it will not solve the transportation crisis, or dissolve the planning stalemates, or eliminate corruption, the artful use of the ephemeral restores a strong sense of urban identity and citizenship, which had always been the psychological effect of living in the city center. 68 Richard Ingersoll - From the Center of the World to the Edge of the City Ausgewählte Texte The research for this essay benefitted immensely from conversations with Francesco Perego, correspondant to Corriere della Sera on Rome‘s urbanism; Maristella Casciato, architectural historian and editor of the series Romacentro (1986); and Silvana Sari, administrative director for the municipal Department of Mobility and Transport. sources: Leonardo Benevolo, Roma da ieri ad oggi, Rome, 1971.
