This book presents the results of a reflection on the Rome airport territory as a complex field of challenges. The reclaimed areas, the technological infrastructures, the archaeological ruins, the interstitial spaces emerging without connections between them, are investigated as potential reserves of ecological wealth. By exploring the destruction, the abandonment and the obsolescence processes inhabiting this layered palimpsest, the research demonstrates the usefulness and the opening of meaning of the knowledge project, to discover innovative strategies to transform the landscapes in transition.
