On the outskirts of Rome is a mile-long stretch of unfinished elevated track for a tramline. Work stopped in the mid-1990s. Under the guidance of Renzo Piano, architects are turning it into an elevated park.
When the famed Italian architect Renzo Piano was named honorary Senator-For-Life in 2013, he handed over his spacious new office and hefty salary of some $15,000 a month to a team of young architects. They were given the task of helping salvage depressed outskirts of Italian cities. One project was inspired by New York City's High Line the beloved public park built on a derelict rail line elevated above the streets of Manhattan.
Italy is littered with 600 unfinished public works projects incomplete highways, half-bridges going nowhere, skeletons of buildings. They're the offspring of bad governance, greed and state subsidies eaten up by graft.
In Rome, there's an unfinished elevated track cutting through two peripheral neighborhoods, Serpentara and Vigne Nuove. Originally conceived as a 12-mile tramline, looping north to south outskirts, work on the project suddenly stopped in the mid-1990s. The reason is clouded in mystery. The result is just one mile of elevated, abandoned concrete.

Pedestrians stroll on New York's High Line, a public park that has been constructed on the remains of an abandoned elevated railroad in Manhattan.
Under Piano's supervision, a team of young architects cleaned up what had become the local garbage dump below. And, using recycled materials, transformed a planned tram stop into a community space for art installations, concerts and workshops. Francesco Lorenzi, 32, says the architects took an abandoned part of the city and put life there.
Lorenzi is one of 600 young architects who competed to join Piano's team of six. It's called G124 the number on Piano's Senate office door. The project was inspired by New York's High Line. But here, the park will be below, and above, pedestrians and cyclists will use a path to get between two big green areas of district Parco delle Sabine and Parco Talenti.
The elevated park is about a 45-minute drive from the city center. These neighborhoods were born during the construction boom of the 1970s and '80s when cozy relations between city authorities and real estate speculators made building permits easy to acquire.

We've already witnessed Australian firm Andrew Maynard Architects' flair for the unusual with the Cut Paw Paw house. Tower House sees the practice up the ante by turning a typical weatherboard home in Alphington, Victoria, into a delightful "village" comprising a number of tower-like buildings.
Built for a young family with twin boys, there's a lot going on with Tower House and a lot to like, too. During the renovation and extension of an existing modestly-sized suburban home, a simple flat extension was shunned in favor of five slim tower-like volumes that are connected on the inside and resemble a village on a tiny scale from outside. The original home includes two children's bedrooms, bathroom and living spaces, while the new additions feature a studio, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a dining area.
"Tower House is a village externally and a home internally," says Andrew Maynard Architects. "The house defies logic as the exterior appears to be a series of small structures, while internally the spaces and functions are large and connected. Like the Tardis, its small on the outside and large internally."
Dad received a small astroturfed getaway nook during the extension, while mom now has a library. The most striking addition is saved for the kids though, and comprises a study room with a floor-to-ceiling bookcase and large hanging net. The architectural notes also make mention of a simple tannoy system comprising tin cans connected with string.
Another particularly nice touch for the home is the front garden, which has been given over to a communal vegetable plot. Locals are welcome to help themselves to the veggies, and can also chip in and do some work if so inclined. The back garden is fenced but can be opened to the outside.
Tower House was designed to optimize passive solar gain in a bid to reduce the need for mechanical heating, and features large windows along the southern boundary. The need for air-conditioning is reduced via carefully-thought windows which offer natural ventilation. A retractable fabric awning can also be used to add more shade when needed.
Tower House was completed in 2014.

Andrew Maynard Architects turns a house into a village
Everton in the Community inducted a second recipient into its Community First 11 when Condy Lofthouse Architects (CLA) was recognised for its outstanding contribution to the clubs official charity.
The Community First 11 campaign sees 11 individuals or organisations recognised for their unwavering support of Everton in the Community for the last five years or more and December will see Goodison Park bring all Community Champions together for a celebration dinner.
These 11 people and/or organisations have been selected by the charitys management team for having the vision to improve the community and the determination, creativity and ingenuity to make a difference.
CLA Finance Director Barry Bartlett and CLA Associate Jason Maher were at Goodison Park for a meeting with Everton in the Community CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale when they were suddenly surprised mid-conversation by Club Ambassador Graham Stuart, who presented the duo with their trophy, a Condy Lofthouse printed home shirt and announced that they had been recognised as Community First 11 members.
Charity chief Barrett-Baxendale then explained to the stunned men why CLA had been chosen as the second inductee into the First 11 and thanked the organisation for its unwavering support and dedication to Everton in the Community.
The clubs official charity has been working with CLA for five years on a range of different schemes and the two have developed a relationship which helps to provide opportunities for the local community.
The award-winning architectural practice has been at the forefront of the design and planning for the new Everton Free School site, which is due to open its doors at the end of March.
Speaking after being recognised as Community First 11 champions, CLA Finance Director Barry Bartlett said: We are completely flabbergasted.
We werent expecting it and feel very honoured; it is something very special and something we will never forget.
We have been working alongside the charity for five years now to help them develop some of their fantastic projects, we are just a small part of a big wheel.
