Circo Massimo competition wants to create a new center in a polycentric city like Rome, a new meeting place, where young people can meet for sports, for a concert in the evening, for an exhibition, for a play.

Rome is one of the cities with the highest number of tourist visits per year and it's rare be faced with a project in a city so rich in history and culture.

All structures must be dismantled and eco-friendly, is not permitted the use of reinforced concrete.

program

The space should be treated as a blank slate on which write with a pencil. At any time you should be able to change the structure of the area, erase and rewrite.

Music: 1500 mq of structures for small musical performances (stages, audiences, green areas, mobile structures, paths)
Sport: 3000 mq of outdoor sports equipment (parks, trails, outdoor sport equipment, training courses)
Exhibits: 1000 mq of exhibition space (exhibition routes, temporary installations, land art)
Facilities: 100 mq of services (accessibility, restrooms, administrative areas)
Dining areas: 300 mq (bars, small restaurants, mobile structures, green areas, paths)

Given the complexity of the relationship with the site, the competition organization leaves a lot of freedom in the functional program.
