Abstract

The design refers both to a masterplan that used a bottom-up strategy by analyzing the street level and the 1762 publication Campo Marzio of Giovanni Battista Piranesi. The long narrow plot results in a redefinition of the typical theatre plan and incorporates a transition from a highly public square via an lesser public foyer/theatre to a private hotel. It uses the Campo Marzio's configuration to establish a public foyer that can act as a buffer/connecting tool between backstage and serving functions and the accentuated theatre boxes.
