STABIAE ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK
Castelemarre, Italy / Proposal 2005
Buried in the Vesuvius eruption nearly 2,000 years ago, the wealth of the ancient city has a chance to benefit the humbler contemporary city of the present day through the development of an “archaeological park”. The park joins a series of disparate, partial excavations along the bluff into a recognizable whole. Visitors to the park will have the chance to understand not only the life of these villas but also the evolving techniques of archaeology in action. To connect the separate archeological sites and the accompanying programs, a system of scaffolding and fabric was proposed that could provide continuous circulation and adaptable skins for the changing functions.
