The design studio project addressed the Tiber. The city adapted itself to the river and Rome grew and expanded not according to geometrical rules or formal axis, but rather following the natural and sinuous forms of the river. The city created urban nodes, street configurations, public spaces and significant conditions always in relationship to the Tiber until the tragic and brutal construction of the river banks in the XIX century. Since then the river disappeared from the sight of the city. It has been walled in a deep and alien space from which there is no perception of the city as the city does not acknowledge the river.
Museums are seen by the present architectural culture as the paradigm of our contemporary life. The more successful museums are obviously depositary of art and culture but also active places, social hubs, generators of cultural energy, places of encounter, machines for urban life, etc. The museum has become, to a certain extent, a hybrid typology that creates a multi-functional cultural environment that operates 24 hours a day.
