THE LAYOUT
  • Leung Hoi Ning Jeanne

2
The Sequence-from the city to Campidoglio
-Main street-gtcordonata
-gtentrance of the plaza
-gtsquare with oval plan
-gtclimax at portal of Senators palace
3
The Design of Campidoglio
  • Pope Paul llls order of the installation of the
    statue of Marcus Arelius
  • To show that his rule reflected virtues of the
    antecedent
  • Piazza as the main venue of civic events and the
    stage for the bronze statue

4
  • Design for the whole environment but not the
    square alone
  • Piazza as outdoor room with 3 walls
  • Central building as the nucleus of the scheme
  • Coherent unity achieved by organization of
    component parts
  • Axis, symmetry, convergence

5
The site and challenges
  • The path leading from the hill down to the city
    was a muddy slope
  • gt an entrance which matches the piazza
    was to be created
  • The site was a piece of uneven plateau between
    the northern and southern peaks of the Capitoline
    hill
  • gt Conversion to level paved area
  • Dilapidated medieval Senators palace and
    quattrocento conservators palace with an
    accidental orientation of 80 between one another
  • gtrestoration and replanning

6
The Oval Area
  • Trapezoid square formed after the Palazzo Nuovo
    was erected to create symmetry
  • Traditional pavements rectilinear patterns or
    bands radiating from centre
  • Traditional solutions not adoptable to
    trapezoidal boundary
  • Oval form never used before as the
    irregularfigure discourages its use
  • Centrality and axiality in 1 form
