Tor Vergata's Park - Large park for the Roma countryside

Master's degree thesis in Landscape Architecture

Sapienza University of Rome

Located in the south-east area of the municipality of Rome (VI and VII city hall) the project wants to intervene on an area that will be able to reconnect the fragmented and dispersed areas in the urban context. Through the planting of different woods, such as the productive forest, the riparian and the natural one, and in particular through the creation of an ecological corridor that will be a recognizable sign and symbol of the New Park. We chose to represent the study area through a schematization in hexagons, to highlight the spatial configuration of the current green areas, from which emerges a low mutual connectivity, high fragmentation and dispersion in the urban context; However, the hexagonal shape can be seen with an overview as a beehive in which the individual functional elements give life to a new park system. The aim of the thesis is the design of a park, with an expected extension of about 830 ha. The park will be characterized by a linear green plant that will extend from north to south and which will at the same time be an element of visual identity and fulcrum of orientation. A characteristic feature of the new planting will also be in the south-eastern part.
