After the Northern Italy field trip, Cornell in Rome students presented their latest work to a group of Architecture alumni who visited Palazzo Lazzaroni the following week. The pictures below show scenes of students and alumni interacting in the planning studio.

Over the past couple of months, planners have been venturing out to various Roman neighborhoods in order to perform detailed surveys. These surveys would help planners identify key neighborhood issues that would be examined in a final policy paper. The neighborhoods this year were chosen to be Giustiano Imperatore, Italia, Quadraro, San Saba, and Donna Olimpia. Each of these neighborhoods struggle with different urban issues, ranging from seismically-unstable apartment complexes (Giustiano Imperatore) to the privatization of high-quality low-rise social housing (San Saba).

The planners hoped to leave the AAP alumni with a good impression of the work that they have done this semester. We hope the alumni enjoyed their visit!
