Urban Park on the Lungotevere Flaminio

The text describes a newly designed park in the Flaminio district of Rome, near the Tiber River and Ponte della Musica. Created following a 2018 competition, the park maintains and reinterprets the longitudinal layout of the original project. It features two main zones: 1. Riverside Arboretum: A tranquil, meadow-like space with existing and newly planted trees that form a transparent canopy, creating a connection between the river and the city. Designed to handle seasonal flooding, the arboretum blends harmoniously with the river's ecosystem and includes kiosks introduced by the client. 2. Recreational Zone: A colorful, impact-resistant surface of 2,000 square meters, designed for creative and playful activities. It incorporates microtopographies, game equipment, and a restored fountain from the original project. This zone is vibrant and engaging, contrasting with the serene arboretum. The park emphasizes environmental adaptation, accommodating the Tiber's seasonal variations and potential floods. It concludes with a water square at the north and a formal garden at the south, balancing functionality and aesthetics. Annalisa Metta designed the park, as the winner of the design competition.
