IDENTITY AND COMMUNITY: a Landmark

This project is located at the entrance of the MACRO museum in Rome. This museum was born by the refurbishment of a part of a big slaughterhouse where there is also the school of Architecture of Roma Tre University. 
As it is possible to see from the picture, the Big Bambù stands out like a real landmark in this part of Rome and, due to my personal experience, I can also say that since it is there the museum has become really important and like a benchmark for tourists. You can also go up and appreciate a really nice view of Rome. 

Keeping in mind the huge different between this urban context and the one I’m going to design on, I think that my project should represent a kind of Landmark for people that are going to use and live it, so that it becomes a real meeting point, with the same strenght of a public square.
