HORTUS ROMANI IN CHINA: A ROMAN GARDEN AT IHE 2021 YANGZHOU

The City of Yangzhou presented the opportunity to the city of Rome for the participation at the Horticulture Expo 2021.

Hortus Romani and the Rome Pavilion are a synthesis of an architectural space integrated with vertical and horizontal green solutions that could represent the material and immaterial excellence of the Roman City and its surrounding areas. The Rome team designs the garden with two principles that incorporate their own history and culture:

1. Green architecture with low carbon solutions and innovative green building integrations
2. Urban agriculture for an ecological transition and Green Deal.

The participation of the Rome team represents a great opportunity for collaboration in the academic, institutional and economic fields between Rome and Chinese Cities and an opportunity to strengthen the cooperation for increasingly sustainable urban systems close to their inhabitants.

URBAN SYSTEMS FOR TOURISM

Urban systems built with quality and ecological criteria bring about the ability to turn into tourist attractions, capable of handling, in a sustainable way, all the practices related to promotion and welcoming of incoming tourists. This process can be particularly relevant in the case of Rome, the capital city of Italy, keeper of invaluable architectural and cultural heritage.

By applying the tools of digitalization and innovative technologies such heritage can be appreciated by tourists coming from geographically and culturally distant locations, Chinese tourists being one relevant example. In this dynamic context, tourism can also be interpreted as a key tool to international cooperation, potentially bridging places, cultures, and people.

DIGITAL TWIN FOR SUSTAINABILITY: INNOVATIVE INTEGRATED SOLUTIONS FOR DESIGN

At the beginning of the 4th Industrial revolution, the advent of digitalization, innovative technologies and materials, and new construction techniques, have begun transforming the way that infrastructure, real estate and other built assets can be planned, designed, constructed and operated in order to create a more attractive, energy efficient, comfortable, affordable, safe and sustainable built environment. Developments in digital design, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, additive manufacturing, have finally started to move the construction industry – traditionally reluctant to innovation and slow in adopting new technologies – towards a new era.

GIS BIM & Digital Twin Laboratory of CITERA Interdepartmental Centre for Territory, Building, Conservation and Environment from Sapienza University of Rome will present its 2021 summer school online programme and invite the teachers and students in architecture-related academic institutes or the employees from the private construction / design sectors to participate.
