In less than three months, construction will begin on Nabito Architects.  The project is a thermal complex club that is situated next to the Roman Colosseum.  The project will use an existing structure and include a restaurant, swimming area and thermal baths.   The form was derived after studying and analyzing maps, plans and drawings of the Old Roman Termae.   Once completed, the project will be a nice compliment to those visiting the Colosseum.

More images and diagrams after the break.

This cannot be serious? Nothing of the sort could possibly be built within the “zona del rispetto” of a World Heritage Site; at least I hope not.

If it does get built it will enjoy the same disdain as the Ara Pacis monument. Maxxi shows that the Roman’s don’t mind modern architecture, they just don’t like it with their monuments.
