starting to develop my project I can not transcend the concept of imprinting in architecture. are close to a roman tub, I compared it with the renewal of meanings and inserts it into a contemporary urban context. but just a building that will reclaim the echo of the stone to exhaust the question? Of course not, we'll see ...
The great Roman bath that is located at Via Cesare Baronius was discovered by accident in 1980 while working for the opening of the road.
The tank, a rectangular, has a corner to go down the stairs inside, and in the opposite corner of a well for water drainage. The walls are opus signinum, a conglomerate made up of flint flakes mixed in lime lean enticed well, typical of Roman cisterns. There are also traces of the plaster coating cocciopisto, made with crushed brick and lime and mixed with oil to become compact and waterproof, the surface finish is made with marble dust.
the center almost intact, you see the fountain, the interior of which is crossed by a series of canals that carried water in clay upward.
The construction technique in opus reticulatum and brick (Same as the nymph Egeria in Caffarella) allows you to assign the complex to the first half of the second century. AD
Archaeologists believe that the pool had a purely ornamental purpose, and the mouths of clay had to be the receptacle in which the fish could spawn. It remains a mystery how the fountain would receive the water, taking into account that the only known aqueduct that passed through these parts (the aqueduct Antoninianus) was built 50-100 years later. A claim can still come from the discovery of a tank inside the catacomb discovered in 1995 on the opposite side of Via Latina.
The complicated system Plumbing, central fountain seems to have similarities with that of the "Meta sweating", the great fountain that was in front of the Colosseum, unfortunately razed in 1936: the name "meta" comes from the cone-shaped object, similar to the goals Roman circus, "boe" revolved around which the chariots in the race, the goal was called "sweating" because the water dripped as if the fountain Bleeding. This fountain we see today is also particularly important because it is a unique building in Rome.
