The Donato barracks are one of the abandoned military areas in Rome.
The study and the intervention aim to recover the relationship with the surrounding landscape, promoting the creation of a new identity, which can encourage a social reactivation through the redevelopment of the landscape element.
The barracks are located on the slopes of Monte Cucco, a historical-environmental heritage in the Roman countryside and home to hunting lodges and suburban estates until the early 1900s.
The aim of the project is to find a dialogue between the neighborhood and the landscape, through the redefinition of new routes that connect Monte Cucco to the town through Viale Ventimiglia.
Beyond to the function of a linear square, the avenue will also have the role of access to the barracks, which reinserted in its context, can be transformed into a city of food, with urban gardens, workshops and the market.
The abandoned area thus regenerated both offer the opportunity to reconstruct the ecological qualities in connection with the open spaces and green areas of the neighborhood, and providing them with a new dignity.
