UnLost Territories, between norm and normative

The urban project "UnLost terriotires" is located in the areas of the extreme eastern periphery of Rome, within the 7th and 8th municipality, towards the Grande Raccordo Anulare. To a superficial knowledge, these territories might look de nitely far from the chance to be recovered, especially if we based our practice on the traditional urban design categories. Nevertheless, they are anything but ‘lost’ if we learn to operate with new principles – as taught by several realities in South America, such as Medellin. The project in Rome started by mapping abandoned and underutilized areas belonging to the categories of the relicts or urban voids. These areas where included in a map – which can be examined at the following link: goo.gl/znt2L6 - which was connected to blog (unlostterritories.blogspot.it/) where each post, be side of a photographic/planimetric selection, contains projects that have been conducted in every area there during the years.
