• Resumen

  • This paper aims to present the diffused botanical garden as a new typology of urban space and a methodology to colonize lost spaces in the area of Ostiense - Valco San Paolo in Rome, a highly disperse area due to the deindustrialization. The intermediate scale of landscape keeps together all the puzzle pieces, interconnecting physical scales, time and users in an accurate acupuncture exercise. The diffused character of the different systems in the area needs to be hold by an active and vibrant project of ground. The parking lots are active areas, versatile and adaptable that highly contribute to the urban ecology, activating an alternative network, base of a new system of open spaces linked to the main green infrastructures operating in this area.
