Walking, Drawing, Documenting

Università Tre Roma, Scuola di architettura, Rome, 27-30 January 2020

Leftover, abandoned, or in-between states places are as constitutive of our cities as are built and maintained ones and it is through their representation that they can actively participate in discourses pertaining to the development of cities and to the imagination of a new landscape. Rather than considering these places as anomalies against standard practices and adequate urbanscape, this workshop proposes to look at abandonment through drawing and other forms of representation in order to challenge our perception of what constitutes a “good” landscape and our acceptance of its presence in our cities.

The workshop consisted of observing various details, textures, plants, animals, insects, built forms and remnants in the area of Mattatoio and Monte dei Cocci, all of which will be recorded through photography, film, drawing, and/or survey. From this itinerary and observations, a detailed inventory will take shape and lead to a narrative form of drawing, depicting constructed landscapes.
