ARA PACIS
The need to promote the methodology of design interventions and town planning in the historical center of Rome and the responsibility to protect and enhance Rome's cultural and monumental legacy has resulted in a program of reorganization and upgrading of the Augustean area located on the east bank of the Tiber River in close proximity to the Ponte Cavour.The location of the site has particular characteristics due to its outstanding historical, archeological and architectural values, and requires a process of enhancement and a level of quality that will ensure the approval from the Italian and the international architectural communities, as well as from the general public.The area will be pedestrianized and the traffic arrangement in all of the zone surrounding the Mausoleum of Augustus and the Ara Pacis will be appropriately modified.The former building which housed the Ara Pacis, a sacrificial altar dating to 9 B.C., was located on the western edge of the Piazza Augusto Imperatore, between Via Ripetta and the Lungotevere. It was unsatisfactory from an aesthetic, environmental, technical and functional point of view, and will now be replaced by a new museum complex, which will create a fitting and secure housing for the Ara Pacis.The new museum complex will employ the most up-to-date exhibition techniques and media. It is designed to be permeable and transparent with regard to the urban context of the Augusteo. In additional to the public exhibition areas, there will be a small auditorium, a museum shop, office areas and storage facilities.The new museum complex of the Ara Pacis will be an integral part of the Master Plan relating it to the urban context of the Augustean Area.

ciao Giorgio,
mi piace il taglio orizzontale, bel gioco di linee, luci ed ombre, ottima scelta il B/N. L'antico che si riflette e rivive nel nuovo, è anche il punto focale del tuo commento,no?
Ciao, Cinzia
