Rome Design Studio Project 2

So it begins.

"The second project of the term will lead you to a comprehensive design for a new museum to house a prestigious collection of classical statuary, the Torlonia Collection.

"The location of the new museum will be at Piazza dei Cinquecento, the large open space between the Stazione Termini and the Baths of Diocletian (now Mseum of the Terme)...." and so on.

As you can see in Google Maps, the site is currently a bit of a disaster zone! Buses to one side, taxes to another and a complete lack of a defined pickup zone for the train station.

So, here is my first crack at creating a pleasant, while still functional, piazza in which to place my museum.
