Conceived as an alternative to the demolition of the elevated Tangenziale Est near Tiburtina Station, the project proposes the transformation of approximately 500 metres of existing infrastructure into a new elevated public landscape.

​

The intervention reinterprets the viaduct as a linear civic space connecting the railway station, metro lines and bus terminal, an urban node crossed by more than 50 million people each year. Above the structure, a continuous pedestrian park introduces greenery, public terraces and cultural spaces, while the ground level beneath the viaduct accommodates commercial functions designed to activate the surrounding district.

​

The economic value generated by the ground-level development was conceived as the financial mechanism supporting the construction and long-term maintenance of the elevated public space.

​

The proposal reframes obsolete infrastructure as an urban catalyst, transforming a barrier within the city into a new civic landscape linking mobility, public space and economic activity.
