BACK R[H]OME Souvenir du Posturbaine

BACK R[H]OME souvenir du posturbain is the installation of the Department of Planning, Design and Technology of Architecture of Sapienza University of Rome conceived and realized with students for the exhibition Students as Researchers: “Creative Practice and University Education” at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 Rome always knows how to be contemporary. It is Eternal continually re-interpreting the meaning of living in the layering of its open spaces and in the forms of the social reason acceptance. The Roman Summer and the Wonderful Urban of Renato Nicolini’s time as Cultural Advisor of Rome are the recent and perhaps most shining examples of its feature. If the ecological aggression that Rome suffers today (indifference to climate change, CO2 pollution, land consumption, too many new buildings and the abandonment of the existing, waste, social marginalization, tourism pressure, ...) prevailed over its resilience strength Rome would generate a new landscape. A seemingly informal place where nature and traces of previous epochs are composed into a renaturalized and meaningful whole: a new Disabitato Piranesiano diverse and posturban.
