This urban intervention is set in a neighborhood just south (across the Tiber) from Castel Sant'Angelo. Much of the urban fabric in this area was dominated by piazze being used as parking lots and a large, abandoned school in the middle. To clarify the spaces and flow of traffic, a craftsmen's building is added to define a piazza in front of the church. The loggia on this building will create a space for the building's tenants to display their wares. An additional mixed use building is added in the southeast corner to further define the piazza space. Two large, mixed use palazzi-type buildings are added to increase the pedestrian activity through the space. The shops on the ground floors will tie into the shops along the southern edge of the site, creating a loop of pedestrian shopping traffic. A restaurant and monument are added in the southwest corner to help define traffic flows. Finally, a row of townhouses are added along the north edge, overlooking the Tiber.
