Corviale is one of the housing projects built on the outskirts of Rome in the 1970’s as part of the 1964 regional plan to alleviate crowding in the older central city. It is well-known as the longest single residential building in Europe: an 11-story high slab of apartments nearly 1 km in length. Conceived as an independent community for about 8000 people including other facilities such as schools, shopping, recreation facilities and even a church, the building was based on the idea of social housing to provide all needed infrastructures of a city within the complex itself, and to encourage social contacts between the occupants. For internal and political reasons many of these originally planned structures were never realized or are, almost 20 years after the first occupants moved in, still unfinished. The area suffers from the lack of an adequate metropolitan infrastructure and it remains isolated from the greater city of which it was intended to be a part. Maarten_Scheurwater
Corviale è uno dei progetti abitativi costruiti nella periferia di Roma negli anni ’70 come parte del piano regionale 1964 per alleviare l’affollamento nel vecchio centro città. Noto come il più lungo singolo edificio residenziale in Europa: una lastra alta 11 piani di appartamenti, quasi 1 km di lunghezza. Edificio concepito per una comunità indipendente per circa 8000 persone con servizi come scuole, negozi, strutture ricreative e persino una chiesa. L’idea di alloggi sociali collegati a infrastrutture necessarie per una città perfetta, progettata per favorire i contatti sociali tra gli occupanti. Per ragioni organizzative molte strutture originariamente previste non sono mai state realizzate e sono, dopo oltre 20 anni di insediamento , ancora incompiute. La zona soffre della mancanza di un’infrastrutture metropolitane adeguate e rimane isolata dalla città. Maarten_Scheurwater
