The project was born from the purchasing of an ex-military area in the Flaminio neighbourhood and the decision to build a city of science with a museum, a public park and residential areas that will have green roofs and sustainable, energy-efficient building. The project was proposed to several architectural studios and the Studio 015 Paola Viganò is the one who got assigned the project in 2015 (3). Due to changes in public administration and financing already found in 2017 (7), the project still has not started (2020), as in 2019 the citizens were once again consulted over the works and the project (7). Initially, the project should end in 2023 (should last 8 years) (4).

Project objectives
The project comes in the wake of the acquisition by the Competition Organizer of the Ministry of Defence’s former Precision Electrical Components Factory, situated between Via Guido Reni and Viale del Vignola in Rome.
The agreement reached with the Municipal Government marks the beginnings of an important process of urban transformation aimed at creating an innovative urban structure and an almost completely sustainable energy cycle, in response to the consultation with citizens and organised residents (3).
Implementation activities
The Competition is structured in two phases. The First Phase asked interested candidates to submit a curriculum of projects describing their approach to the city and public space, together with three A3 pages describing a purely indicative proposal.
A total of six candidates was admitted to the Second Phase, during with they will be asked to develop a proposal, to be discussed with the Jury on three separate occasions. Each of the six finalists will be entitled to reimbursement of costs of 24,000.00 Euro (3).
