Palazzetto dello Sport
Address
Piazza Apollodoro 1
00196 Rome
Italy
.
Built for the 1960 Olympics, the palazzetto is a modest sports
stadium in an innovative concrete dome. Designed by Pier Luigi
Nervi it hosted boxing among other sports during the Olympic
Games. The innovative dome is made of ribbed reinforced
concrete. The lower half of the dome has continuous ribbon of
window the whole way around the circular stadium, beneath the
elegantly ribbed, white-painted concrete ceiling. A wonderful
space. Pier Luigi Nervi was educated and practised as a "building
engineer" in Italy. After 1932, his aesthetically pleasing designs
were used for major projects. This was due to the booming
number of construction projects at the time which used concrete
and steel in Europe and the architecture aspect took a step back
to the potential of engineering. Nervi successfully made
reinforced concrete the main structural material of the day. He
died in 1979.

Jubilee Church
Address
Via Francesco Tovaglieri
00155 Rome
Italy
http://www.diopadremisericordioso.it/
.
The Parisch Church of Dio Padre Misericordioso built as part of
the Vicarage project “50 Churches for Rome 2000” was designed
as a mark and symbol of the Grand Jubilee of 2000 it takes on the
idea of a ship, a ship which ploughs the seas of the Third
millennium. The Jubilee Church has been conceived as a new
center for a somewhat isolated housing quarter in the Tor Tre
Teste area, located outside central Rome. The three shells
discretely imply the Holy Trinity, the reflecting pool symbolizes
water in the ritual of Baptism.

Via Guido Reni 6

.
The MAXXI_National Museum of the XXI Century Arts is a new
institution of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities of
Italy. In 1998 the ministry advertised the international call for
tenders and among the 273 candidacies the winning project of
Zaha Hadid convinced the jury because of its possibilities to
integrate with the urban texture and the innovative and highly
creative architectonical solution. The complexity of shapes, their
sinuous outline, the variation and interlacing of dimensions,
determine a spatial and functional plot of great complexity. The
two museums - MAXXI art and MAXXI architecture – revolve around
the full-height grand hall, from where the reception services, the
cafeteria, the bookshop, the didactic laboratories, the
auditorium, the live event halls, the galleries dedicated to
temporary exhibitions and the collections of graphics and
photography are accessed.

Rome city plan which involves the development of a new
