Masterplan für die Università Campus Bio-Medico (UCBM) in Rom

The main goal of the competition is to design Campus Bio-Medico University development upon two different project scales: on the one hand the masterplan design of UCBM areas, both built on and unbuilt areas to be developed by 2045, on the other hand the architectural design of short-term new functions and services.

Seven selected design teams have been invited to shape an urban and landscape design, a cutting-edge project able to draw an integrated and consistent distribution of the new functions envisaged by UCBM Development Plan “piùCampus 2015-2045” for its main areas: university education, scientific research, health care and assistance.

The masterplan proposal is to provide, together with the design of the whole campus, a building program able to network existing and future buildings and to connect them, in a zero-cube ground design, with Decima Malafede Natural Reserve. The masterplan is to be conceived as a step-by-step process for UCBM long-term growth as a University Park, an international centre for the practice and training of health and environmental sciences, with a particular attention to the environmental, energy, social and financial sustainability. The masterplan will supply a coherent framework in relation to the public and private mobility development and a close synergy and dialogue with the surroundings and the City.
