Design’s main objective is to protect the existing ruins, and make it possible to understand the original image of the site during the late etruscan period. Rather than building a single coverage, expensive and unable to make understandable the original appearance, the proposal envisions a clustered minimal intervention, that, by tracing the shape of the remains, re-create a floating footprint of the site.
Each ruined wall has its own individual shelter. All the shelters are surrounded by an annular path, which allows different raised points of view. Some of the main elevation are recreated with a wire-frame technique painted white in order to clash with the environmental background.
