THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
KNOWLTON SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE
SPRING 2007
LOCATION: ASCOLI PICENO & ROME, ITALY
The Italy Abroad Program at The Ohio State University Knowlton School of Architecture is based in Rome, begins with a two week design charette in Ascoli Piceno in conjunction with architecture students at the University of Camerino, and encourages travel throughout the country. The design charette at the University of Camerino, named "Publi-City," is an on-going collaboration between OSU and UNICAM that focuses on the role of public space within architecture. Groups of students from OSU were paired with students from UNICAM to design a master plan for an airport in the Marche region, near the Tronto River Valley. The goal of our design was to bridge the gap between the airport and city center and establish a more connected urban fabric.
