Maps of Rome

Students in the College of Architecture’s Foreign Studies Program are presenting maps and drawings of Rome through March 2, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., in the college’s Dudley Commons Gallery. The students have been researching the histories of 10 sites in Rome, and illustrating the results by layering the maps and drawings they have uncovered in a palimpsest. They have simultaneously been studying preliminary and schematic design proposals for inserting a 21st Century study center and museum of cartography into the context of the Eternal City. These 38 students will be traveling to Rome for the second half of the semester to study the principles of design.
