Incompiuto
The INCOMPIUTO project is an academic endeavor from the Università degli Studi di Ferrara in Italy, proposed as a thesis option by the Italian government. It focuses on the gradual re-use of Santiago Calatrava’s unfinished “Sports City” in Rome, transforming it into a dynamic urban tool in continuous reconstruction. This project envisions the ruin as a powerful icon, hosting a new city where art and design intersect with science, technology, ecology, economy, and business to foster innovation and collaboration. Aiming to symbolize innovation in Rome, it leverages its unique location and groundbreaking programs. The concept embraces the rapid pace of contemporary change, turning the unfinished work into a progressive and evolving entity. The ruin of Calatrava’s project is seen as a historic memorial, a space where nature and people have grown to accept, love, and identify with over the years.
