Italian architects studioUAP shared with us their renovation of Don Cadmo Biavati Park in Via Delle Palme, Rome. The project site is an abandoned public garden in the dense Centocelle neighbourhood in Rome with scarce green areas. The garden is close to many facilities like several schools, an elderly centre and the CSOA of Fort Prenestino. See more images and information after the break.
