Delirious Rome

Valerios' university project submission for Rome is a key achievement for him and the practice since he had the opportunity to test, explore and visualise innovative urban strategies that set an example of graphic representation and creative thinking.

The site is Campus Martius, a historically rich part of Rome in which Valerio’s tried to resurrect the memory of local history and creative literature into the current socio-political context of Italy. The project reflects a calculated nostalgia that is aimed to confront the idea of demolition and enhance the experience of the visitor through the employment of ‘hybrid ruins’.
