Rome 2017 is an international ideas and design challenge that seeks to address these issues by asking the international architecture and design community three questions: 1. What would a contemporary river renaissance look like in Rome? 2. Can the city live up to its eternity and incorporate within its layers of history a more contemporary lifestyle? 3. And can this consolidate the river Tiber into a new focus within the city for this millennium: transforming its waters from a passive element to an active, integrated and renewed part of the city? The competition is now open and will close on the 11th of May 2017. We offer an academic discount to institutions who wish to participate with multiple teams. Please email us for more information.
