dentro bm A treasure under the eyes. Indeed, not quite: the view is expected to rise just a bit ', to the facades of the palaces of the Trident, virtuous accumulation of centuries of architecture. Some people in the heart of the district has chosen to work, to be more in touch with a beauty that alone inspires. Macchi Sergio Burkhart and Walter decided so, almost carried by a need to open a studio architecture via Margutta, and call it BM. "It was almost a requirement to have a home at a certain level, not only culturally but also logistical - says Burkhart - Not to mention that here are complementary to our activities: art galleries, but also furniture stores. Then please, Rome is not sparing in spectacular location. Margutta But as always that bit of charm in more. "

 

Thus, the Trident is not a random choice.
"Me and Walter born designers such as architects, but also we are dedicated to the restoration of prestigious buildings such as Palazzo Valadier, here a short walk to Piazza del Popolo. The idea of coming here was created by chance but I think he has fully justified, because we are selling ideas. And do so in an environment that lends itself in particular is the ideal thing. This also affects the rest of our activities, including actions of social housing in neighborhoods like Val Fiorita and Length. And outside Rome, for example Santa Severa, where we have adapted to a former religious complex houses a tourist destination while maintaining the character of the buildings beginning 900. a traditional style that we have recovered inspired by farmhouses in the area and that has been successful, both aesthetically and economically, avoiding to do enormous damage as seen in many parts of the Region. Just look at Rome: the desire of the duplex and the refusal of the skyscraper, but taking as an example to cities like Barcelona is not disfigured in an area such as the capital has led occupation of the land which, for the same population is five times that of Paris. The vertical development in remote areas, must be recovered. otherwise cause destruction, rather than increasing the livability.

 

Make sure that the interventions in the historic center of Rome must be more challenging ...
Yes, whatever the destination. We worked restorations of many historic buildings downtown, such as the Grand Hotel in Via Veneto, which arises from our own design. And for the hotels is always required special care, since managers want something that there is in case "normal". And then there is the technology to be included in buildings designed long before there was even electricity. In that case, as the seat of ABI at Palazzo Cenci Bolognese in Piazza del Gesù, we must work closely with the superintendent. Some time ago could be a problem, but now even at that level there is a different sensibility.

 

In what sense?
Simple: even if the main vocation of the center remains as evocative, without the big institutions are willing to pay for the restoration of a historic building, some areas are likely to die. The ideal, for the Rome of the future would be to succeed in all decentralized offices, leaving representation offices and increase the residential, which allows you to experience the city 24 hours on 24. Operations such as that on the air Pacis are important, beyond what we think of the final result, but are inconclusive. It would take a different job, which recovers in a sense also the great tradition of Italian rationalism of the early twentieth century that is too often underestimated. An actual plan, documented.


Well, there would already be a plan. Mean something different?
For the Trident a general plan is totally inadequate, you may only address. The center would need to be studied and examined the palace to palace, with a census of all the features and the action needed, starting with a pedestrian total, certainly at the beginning could lead to some discomfort but that would be a long boon to the livability of the area. Not only that the plan should be integrated with planning for businesses, which are also fundamental to the life of the Trident. The occupation of public land, so often deplored, is a value that can be regulated if an incredible wealth to attract people every hour. Although actually something more could be done straight away.

 

What is it about?
To essential services for the visitor, now almost entirely missing. Bicycle rental, a place to leave children to play, watched as he walks to the center. I speak of regulated activities privately, without government intervention, which would cost very little to the activities if the Trident unite their efforts. Are dreams, I realize, but dreams are achievable. If people have to come here, we give him a reason to do so. I think when I'm tired and I need to recharge, I just go out and take a walk around here. And I think it is right that this opportunity is offered to all.
