Students in the School of Architecture International Studies Program, in collaboration with the University of Arkansas and Philadelphia University, are having their work featured in an international exhibit in the main hall of the Museum at Trajan’s Market (Mercati Di Traiano) in Rome, Italy, this week. The three universities participated in a workshop charrette, spending 10 days in an intensive architecture and urban design project. The teams of 12 students produced proposals for a new entrance to Trajan’s Market and ancient excavations, along with a connection to the new Metro Line C stop that will be constructed in the area. The exhibit, which opens today, features the 12 team solutions including the drawings and boards created during the project. The venue for the exhibition and reception is the recently reopened renovation of the museum at Trajan’s Market, so the work will be exhibited in close adjacency to the site on which the students were working. The Market and the museum it now contains are part of the forum built in the second century by the Roman Emperor Trajan.
