SITE GALLERY

Placed on the opposite riverbank of the area, the project does not directly affect the
archaeological site. The candidate actually proposes a monolith projected over the
river and directed towards the panorama, imaging not only a visual connection from
the Belvedere, but also a physical relation: the magnificent interior space is directly
accessible from the river.
The project shows a unique and different idea on where to place the project by
docking the building into the opposite bank. Exhibition spaces can therefore enjoy
the view of the old city and serve as a connection port to navigate from the other side.
It is also remarkable that the project alignment recalls the ancient route of a Roman
commercial way but clearly proposes a contemporary “vis-à-vis” with the old city.
