(1907/73) coordinated the project for the Istituto Nazionale per le Case degli
Impiegati dello Stato (INICIS) (National Institute for the Houses of State
Employees)
It was
built to meet the growing demand for housing on the part of civil servants who
gravitated around the EUR district, still expanding at the time

Reorganization
of the central square in 1999 by Aldo Aymonino (1953)
“So it
was partly put together again the team a few years before had given a good
performance in the realization of the Olympic Village; and the new district
evokes some of the main characters of the Olympic Village: the prevalence of
row houses with 4-5 floors on stilts, greenery as connective tissue,
unification of coating materials (brick facing) and architectural solutions.
Only the plan of the buildings is driven by a separate will, to determine
complex visual perspectives, enveloping spaces and constantly changing. Hence
the use of sinuous lines and open polygonal schemes, typical of those years in
the formal research of Luigi Moretti” (Saverio- www.urbanistica.unipr.it)
