Corviale

Went walking around this morning in a place called Corviale -- an interesting architectural project that tried to fit an entire city into a building -- its over a 1/4 mile long, and this thing is huge. Unfortunately, before the project had actually finished its construction, the city of Rome moved people in, so before they could put the finishing touches on it, it became a slum area. Now, the city is trying to keep the building alive, but you can tell this super structure is struggling a bit. Either way, this place is amazing, the architectural ideas and concepts are very visible and easily discernible -- If it were to ever be renovated, It would be MONUMENTAL

Check it!
