In the countryside of Rome, hidden in a forest outside a small village, there is a forgotten renaissance pavilion. It’s the Bramante’s Nymphaeum, designed by the famous Italian architect Donato Bramante, built at the beginning of the fifteenth century by the Colonna family in Genazzano. It was the main element of a huge garden, with some lakes and a small river, located on the hillside next to the main door of the town. It was abandoned right after its completion.
TerraViva Competitions launches WILDLIFE PAVILIONS, a new architecture contest that aims to explore the potentialities of “Torbiere del Sebino” Reserve (Iseo, Italy) in order to come up with creative design proposals focused on nature. Prizes up to 7.000 € will be awarded to the winners selected by an international jury panel composed by, among others, Zhang Ke (ZAO/standardarchitecture), Alessandro Bonizzoni (Fosbury Architecture), Jan van Dijk (Van Dijk Architects), Nicola Russi (Laboratorio Permanente)
