The purpose of this design studio will be to learn the development of spaces and their composition for the corresponding various activities in an urban setting. The end result of this studio will be an ideal public place that is safe, sociable, and accessible to all. It needs to respond appropriately to the settings and its people and create an identity.
Different places mean different things to different people. We probably all perceive our urban environments in slightly different ways. What matters is to put together buildings and bits of towns in ways that are easy to understand. The design process should both capture the spirit and character of a place or building in a relevant manner and also seek to articulate these ideas and images in a well-thought-out approach to physical form, materials, colour and design references, which are easily recognized and understood.

Any place that intrinsically belongs to its context belongs to its people can be considered as a successful public place. People are a part of it and the place as well is a part of the people. Such a place can hold the essence of its setting and impart an embracing character. A good public place should be accessible, sociable, safe and open to all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Site<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
The site lies next to River Tiber and V\u00eda Giulia, the first and longest street commissioned by pope Giulio II to the architect Donato Bramante with the sole purpose to open a new street to the centre of Rome and regain strength as a European power. Inaugurated in 1508, it became the most popular street of the Renaissance, with new commerce, bank buildings and the presence of the Florentine community, where they built their houses, churches and fraternities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
