BUILDING WITH GARAGE AND MARKET

EDIFICIO CON AUTORIMESSA E MERCATO
1956/57 Riccardo Morandi (1902/89)
The front of the building is sawtooth shaped corresponding to the arrangement of the parking spaces
Excellent parking solution in elevation, which unfortunately has not been much imitated in Rome where building underground parking lots in such a rich archaeological area is an absurd and extremely costly habit
"In an interview given to the magazine Domus (October 1984) he made clear that to solve the same structural problem there are many ways, all of them valid from the static, economic and functional points of view, but the final choice, according to his view, it's up to the designer and it regards the aesthetic and social aspects giving character and beauty to the work. a vision diametrically opposite to that of Pier Luigi Nervi who, although he belonged to the same cultural environment, declared that a correct structure is automatically beautiful" (Alessandra Capanna - Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani Treccani)
