Here what is going to be presented is our vision of the future city of Rome. The territory is part of metropolitan area of Rome. According to the study of history and the analysis about this territory, we’ve learnt that the city is growing, the population is growing, and the city is expanding in space. Although they would live in areas that now are farms and fields, but for sure their lifestyle would be like a citizen, they need more food, more energy, more transportation, better connection to other areas, etc,. In a word, bigger demand of food and energy. The site now is impressing with its product provided by nature, but can the nature also solve the problem of over population in the future?

The territory is part of metropolitan area of Rome. Since the world population is growing, and taking into consideration the limitation of Rome city center, it’s not hard to predict that there would be more people living in the metropolitan area out of city center and they would occupy a bigger part of city population. although they would live in areas that now are farms and fields, but for sure their lifestyle would be like a citizen, they need more food, more energy, more transportation, better connection to other areas, etc,. In a word, bigger demand of food and energy. the site now is impressing with its product provided by nature, but can the nature also solve the problem of over population in the future? perhaps we need to find a way to make the land even more productive. now most of this area is occupied by agriculture, so in the future, to meet the increased needs, we need to improve the efficiency of agriculture, increase the area of agriculture, at the same time make more spaces for residence and energy generation. the concept is to take to take the element that could be found in this territory, and rebuild them in a technical way. By lifting some points of ground, more artificial hills are created.
So basically, the point here is to increas the surfaces for agriculture.
We already have beautiful landscape here, we have soft curves of land, and amazing hills covered by buildings and feids. We would like to continue the landscape, and to make some new artifatial hills for people. We used a script to simulate the process of how the monts would grow and change with time.
The logic is that growth would start from some points where more people gathere. First layer would be put here, and according to further growth, more layer would be above. So the monts will start to grow from some certain points, and then expand and influence neibouring area.
So finally there might reach the end, where there gathering more needs, there is more layers and higher monts. The curved surface would be occupied by crops.
