FIGURE:1 ITALY, EUROPE (A = ROME, ITALY) Introduction
The following report is an urban and landscape design analysis and strategy proposal for an Irish embassy on the Piazza dei Quiriti located in the Parti district of Rome, Italy. It represents my analysis and strategic proposals for the piazza on a city, district and local scale and how the urban context of the piazza influenced these zones retrospectively. Concluding on how and what can be changed to make the piazza more influential to its future surrounding context. To do this I had to undertake an analysis of Rome city from the view point of the Piazza dei Quiriti with the aim of making the piazza more influential and functional to its surrounding context. The criteria I used to carry out this analysis are: Primary Patterns - Natural features (mountains, rivers) Secondary Patterns - Man made features ( transport routes) Tertiary Patterns - Art, Music, Literature ( cultural influences) Quaternary Patterns - Pedestrian movements, vista's and greenery The above criteria was then analysed under the following Scales: City / Town scale - Paths (movement corridors, routes) - Nodes (activity centres) - Edges (e.g. river edge, canal, road edge) - Landmarks (used for way finding) - Districts (character areas) District / Local scale - Permeability, connectivity & linage - Hierarchy - Plot ratio / site coverage - Good Fit / synergy
Neighbourhood & Site - Access - Private & Public Realm - Human Behaviour - Architectural

FIGURE 5: NATURAL SURROUNDING CONTEXT AND VIEWS TOWARDS SITE FROM THE SUROUNDING MOUNTAINS.
The primary patterns that I analysed first were the natural forces inflicted on the site and the climate these forces created. Shown in Figure 3 The Rome Climate Graph and Figure 4 The Sun Path Diagram, these analysis tools allowed me to understand the natural surrounding climate of the site and the artificial climate created due to the site location and its surrounding context. We can see from the climate graph that the average temperature is 15C adding this to a low rainfall and wind speed creates a very harsh urban climate. This climate will require allot of shading for cooling if the piazza is to create a good public realm. The location of the site also has an influence but due to the nature of its surrounding built environment and the enclosure it creates, The existing shading created is very influential on how and where added shading is required. Figure 5 above shows the natural features that surround the site. To the northwest and east there are mountain ranges that cannot be viewed from the site due to its enclosed nature created from the surrounding built environment. The river Tiber which divides the city of Rome runs from north to south of the city, east of the site. There is not a direct connect from the site to the river Tiber but it is accessible, within a close walking proximity. Taking this analysis of the primary features into account in relation to the location of the site and its connections to them it is my conclusion that they do not have a great baring on the site due to its enclosed nature which also allows for no visual links. The connection of the site to the river Tiber can be improved on by influencing pedestrian movement to and from the piazza.

SECOUNDARY PATTERNS:
FIGURE 6: STRATEGIC LOCATION
The secondary patterns analysis as shown in figure 6 above gave my design proposal the information required to understand the surrounding areas of importance on a city and district scale. Figure 6 clearly shows the location of the site (Piazza dei Quiriti) in relation to other areas of significance like the main shopping districts, Vatican City, Piazza Adriana. Links should be created through various design methods to make the Piazza dei Quiriti a more influential and vibrant city hub for Roman citizens.

SECOUNDARY PATTERNS: FIGURE 7: WALKING CIRCLES FROM SITE (5 MINUTES 400M, 10 MINUTES 800M & 20 MINUTES 1600M) By using the tool of walking circles shown in figure 6.1 & 7 I could determine the possibilities of links I could create throughout the district and what amenities where already available to my design proposal. This analysis clearly shows what type of business already exist within the district and also what means of public transport is available to the district. We can clearly see in figure 7 that there is one metro station within 10 minutes walking distance of the piazza that has a direct link to the main shopping street, Via Cola di Rienzo. This analysis tells me that it would be possible to influence pedestrian movement on route to Via Cola di Rienzo towards the piazza from the metro station.

FIGURE 10: QUIRITI FOUNTAIN DESIGNED BY ATTILIO SELVA - 1920 The Tertiary patterns shown in figure 8 & 9 show the geometry of the district which is made up of a rigid grid and the geometry of the piazza which takes on a circular form but with the use of a surface paving brick a grid layout is repeated to divide the pedestrian zone from the traffic zones. This surface treatment keeps the piazza in context with its surrounding geometry.

Figure 10 shows the fountain design located within the piazza the fountain portrays the Art of the time and the extravagant nature of roman society and their strong link to water features seen throughout the city . It was built in the 1920's to embellish the region, at the time it was seen as a controversial work as it portrays figures of naked ladies in contrast to the normal male figures used in native Roman fountain design.
QUATERNARY PATTERNS: FIGURE 11: PIAZZA DEI QUIRITI PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT FIGURE 12: DISTRICT TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND METRO LINE Pedestrian movement (shown in figure 11) through the piazza is heavily influenced by the traffic movement (shown in figure 12) through the piazza as the traffic movement dictates the location of the pedestrian crossing. Pedestrians moving from north to south or vice-versa are forced to walk around the out skirts of the piazza and never venture into the public seating area in the centre making this a wasted space. Pedestrians moving from west to east though are more inclined to walk through the piazza as there is only a one traffic system in place. As shown in figure 12 the piazza has a main two way traffic system running through it from north to south, one of only two in the district. This traffic system hinders the piazza potential of becoming a public realm. Therefore it is a problem that must be solved if the Piazza is going to become a new social hub for the Parti district.

FIGURE 26: PROPOSED URBAN STRATEGY PHASE 3 & 4 OF 4 My urban design strategy shown in figure 20 - 26 is a four phase proposal, with phrase one to be implemented with immediate effect and phrase two, three and four each dependent on the success of the previous phase. The proposal is an approach which is already successfully used throughout Rome's urban fabric shown in figure 20. The analysis of the existing main shopping district show how successful the existing urban strategy is. It links main public gathering areas and piazza's to the main shopping district. When in Rome you quickly realise there importance and dependence on one another. The final desired outcome shown in figure 26. Is to completely pedestrianise the immediate streets off the piazza and too make the adjoining secondary streets a shared surfaced.

secondary streets will be open to traffic for a set time barrier for the purpose of servicing and rush hour traffic. This in turn makes the streets surrounding the main block into a ring road so that all the piazza is still accessible to traffic if required.
FIGURE 24: PHASE 1 TO BE IMPLMENTED IMMEDIATELY
If we are to look at phrase one in more detail shown in figure 24. We can see that the streets to the south and to the east of the piazza are proposed to become completely pedestrianised and the following adjoining streets to become shared surfaces for pedestrian and traffic movement. The reason behind pedestrianising these streets is to create the required links and desire lines to influence pedestrian movement to and from the main surrounding amenities. The street to the east links the piazza to the main available metro station and creating a visual link to draw pedestrians into the piazza and from there to guide them back on their original route south to the main shopping street in the Parti district or vice-versa. The Streets running north of the piazza will remain a two way traffic system which will be joined by the street to the west also becoming a two way traffic Proposed pedestrianism Existing two way traffic system Proposed new two way & shared surface Plan C FIGURE 20: EXISTING MAIN SHOPPING DISTRICT ANALYSIS ANCIENT ROME INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, SLIGO: SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING: BA (HONS) IN INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE MODULE TITLE: CULTURAL CONTEXT TERRITORY, IDENTITY, ARCHITECTURE MODULE CODE: CCON 304 STAGE:3 Tutor: EOD SESSION: 2010 - 2011

system. this allows for all the accessibility necessary to service the piazza and surrounding businesses.
Executive Summary It is intended that my urban design strategy for the Patri district of Rome Italy will allow the Piazza dei Quiriti to become a focal point for the regeneration and repurposing of the Parti region. Making it an important feature of the Roman cityscape, that will provide a much needed public realm to the west of the Tiber river. To do this I have proposed to use various design methods which will be exploded in more detail in my landscape design proposal, to influence the pedestrian movement from the existing metro station towards the Piazza dei Quiriti and onwards to other areas of importance such as the main shopping street located to the south, vatican city and other surrounding piazza's. The streets that are to be pedestrianised directly south and east of the piazza will also be heavily influenced by the allocation of external seating areas used to create miniature hubs or social gatherings. These seating areas will act as visual connection points to and from the piazza, allowing it to draw the user into its centre. These miniature gathering areas create social hubs leading up to the Piazza's main centre, this will create a vibrant social realm that vibrates a real sense of place within the community. By doing this visitors and everyday users will want to be part of the dynamic social realm created by the pedestianised Piazza dei Quiriti. People, life and vitality are the biggest attractions in a city. We see it in the choice of peoples seating, where the most populated benches are located, how people choose to sit on sidewalk cafes facing the people walking by rather than the buildings behind them. The biggest quality of a sidewalk caf is simply the interaction with other people. Do you have a choice between walking through a deserted, empty street and a street with other people walking, people will choose the liveliest street that provides them with more experiences, visual variety and a feeling of safety. Life in cities is a great quality not only when it comes to the discussion of a single street but also when discussing neighbourhoods and cities as a whole. Issues on life are related to the urban environment and the quality of an urban environment depends on the life and vitality of a place.

Urban Design Concept
CONCEPTUAL STATEMENT: To design a district that interverts the everyday route of the Patri community. Through the expression of art, culture and architecture and its ability to teach, provoke and influence its users. By using the tool of architecture to create a theatre for life's emotions to be challenged, provoked and experienced.

My urban design concept is to create an Irish public realm within the Parti district of Rome that will be centred around the new Irish embassy that will be housed in the northwest quarter of the piazza. For my proposal I drew from existing Irish streetscapes, natural landscape patterns and artistic impressions of these precedents to create a sense of irish identity with in the district. Figure 16 -19 shows some of the precedent studies that I drew influence from. I propose to create a unique sense of place within the district that is heavily influences by Irish cultural townscapes use of colour and the need of Irish citizens to stamp a sense of ownership apoun their buildings. I also drew influence from Irish fields patterns (shown in Fig 16 &17) that emit from or suppress towards a town centre. My design proposal will have a contemporary approach but must works in empathy with the existing. The main goal of my landscape design proposal is to draw the everyday user into the near by streets and onto the piazza itself.
Urban Landscape Design INTRODUCTION: Following on from the urban strategy in which I have proposed to development the Piazza dei Quiriti into a new central hub for the Patri distrist of Rome. I will also present throughout the following report the Landscape design I think would be best suited to this urban strategy and the conceptual statement I have presented. Focusing on phase one of the urban design strategy I will present the architectural tools and method I used to landscape the Piazza dei Quiriti and the adjoining streets. Step 1 The creation of visible visual connections from points of interest such as the metro station or main shopping street, that lead or draw the passing foot traffic onto the adjoining streets of the piazza, diverting their everyday journey by creating a new one.

LIGHTS POSITED BETWEEN COBBLE STONES GUIDE THE PEDESTRIANS THROUGH THE STREET SCAPE Figure 27 - 29 shows the visual features I intend to use to draw the everyday user and passing foot traffic into the adjoining streets and onwards to the piazza. These features will also giving the streetscape its own unique contemporary identity.
Step 2 The idea of giving each shop front its own identity in keeping with my conceptual ideas. The method in which I choose to do this had to be sympathetic to the existing built environment while also not changing or altering the existing facades that are existing at present. Therefore the method I used was to use a surface pattern that leads the user down the middle of the street like the lights between the cobbles stones show above in step 1 and then either side of that pattern I propose to give each shop front its own unique identity through the use of different surface patterns and treatments (as show below). Also along with the surface treatments I also suggest the use of trees and colourful beam elements to give each shop front its own identity these features will also tie into my conceptual approach to bring colour into the streetscape.

TOOLS USED TO GIVE SHOP FRONTS THEIR OWN IDENTITY FIGURE 32: COLOURFUL BEAMS FIGURE 32.1: TREES LINING STREET Figure 30 shows how the different locations of each method can mark and give a unique identity to the facade and function it sits in front. The types of treatment will then vary as to weather it needs external seating or not. Figure 31 - 32.1 show various treatments that can be utilised.
Step 3 The approach I used here was to use trees and greenery to add shade and seating where required and for it to define the difference between an active and passive space. The use of trees also links the streetscape to the piazza that has an existing green centre.

FIGURE 35: TREES USED TO GUIDE PEDESTRIANS THROUGH THE STREET AND INTO ITS CENTRE SQUARE Figures 33-35 show how I intend to treat the streetscapes when it comes to greenery and how they can be used in the development and implementation of my concept to draw the user into the piazza.
Step 4 Step four involved bringing all the precedent studies and their pattern layouts together, to create an external space that draws the passing pedestrians into its centre while allowing them to carry out a various range of actives or just to simply pass through the piazza. Therefore the space created just like a play had to make the passing audience want to be a part of it. By doing this it will change the everyday experiences of the Parti community intern-changing the experiences and dynamic's of the Piazza dei Quiriti for the better.
