Amaart, selected among the 22 Italian studios, exhibits a representative project, chosen in the context of the theme of mobility. With the Valle Aurelia project, designer Alessia Maggio develops an interpretative research linked to contemporary themes, from mobility to urban transformation and design. Architecture is about intersecting mobility, urban transformation and design. And then working with materials, light, shadows, transparencies.

MOBILITY

A project for railway stations Ferrovie Italiane. The restyling project of the Valle Aurelia station in Rome. A station in the center of Rome which was characterized by a vertical development. The idea of creating a double skin in expanded metal arose from the need to offer a new architectural and formal look to the existing building. The restyling project of the Valle Aurelia station in Rome is part of the initiative to improve the railway infrastructure of the FS Group. For this reason, RFI – Italian Railway Network, concessionaires and railway operators and various local authorities have started a process of transformation and revaluation of stations throughout the national territory. The new façade of the Valle Aurelia station had to respond to the need to hide the volumes containing the mobile and pedestrian stairs that lead to the platform level.

“We are in a period that is certainly not characterized by an acceleration of research – explains Prestinenza Puglisi – rather often by a need to deal with a reality, which compared for example to the very fast nineties, shows much more prudent and thoughtful attitudes. This does not mean that everything is at a standstill, but, as the chronicles of the past show us, it is in these moments that change appears. A bit like what happened in the eighties in Portoghesi’s Strada Novissima where Gehry and Koolhaas debuted and almost no one noticed.”
