ARCH 200B Studio Travel: Rome 2004

This semester’s major project was the design of a city museum for Rome. Building on projects re-imagining Pliny’s villas and designing a monument to geological time, the class prepared for ten days in Rome with a seminar in the history of Roman urban development and architecture and exercises mapping the urban fabric, including a revisiting of the Nolli Plan in pen and ink as well as digitally. Time in Rome was split between walking tours led by Professor Tobriner and work on site and developing the program for the museum.
