Restyling

The restyling project of the Valle Aurelia station in Rome is part of the initiative to improve the railway infrastructure of the FS Group.

Sustainability

The design activity is focused on the goal of creating the conditions for a sustainable project, due to the aspect of the choice of material (aluminum recycled surface product). Not only is the aluminum surface easy to maintain over a lifetime; but the low-cost second-skin design naturally filters (protects) the existing fabric from sun exposure.

Double Skin

The idea of ​​creating a double skin in expanded metal was born from the need to offer a new architectural and formal look to the existing building. The second skin has thus given rise to an architectural transfiguration without altering or subtracting elements from the original building body.

Urban context

The station was characterized by a vertical development. The design outcome offers the observer the idea of ​​being faced with two distinct buildings, one going uphill, the other downhill: the univocal choice of materials offers and maintains a strong sense of unity instead. A result obtained also thanks to the use of colors and the study of distances and the perception of volumes.
