Within the exhibition "La Nave di Pietra - storia, architettura e archeologia
dell'isola Tiberina" [The marble ship - history, architecture and
archaeology of the Tiber island], promoted by the Regione Lazio and held at the
Tiber island from October 22nd to November 27th 1983, a limited number of
architects, selected according judgment and generational criteria, have been
invited to elaborate new proposals for the island.
They have been supplied with historical-iconographical documentation, pictures,
reconstructions and old photos besides detailed scale drawings of the
present situation of the island. To all of them it has been required a participation
aimed to make the island more usable and to improve its image; they have been
required to supply solutions for the traveling through the island mainly for
the areas near the river, promoting pedestrian facilities and alternative use by means of
exhibitions, shows and collective activities.
After a quarter of century the proposed projects, even if dated, may still be
an opportunity for discussion, and represent a whole of ideas and solutions
either for public administrators and for specialists.
