the new access to the domus aurea

ArchDaily dedicates an article to the contemporary use of lighting within historical settings, a transformative element that helps to maintain the contemplative scale of environments.

Among the relevant projects that make use of innovative lighting design include The New Access to the Domus Aurea, designed by Stefano Boeri Architetti for one of the most evocative sites in Roman history.
The walkway allows visitors to enter the Domus Aurea and access the famous octagonal hall, remaining completely autonomous and self-supporting with respect to the existing walls. The path is illuminated by a light guide that accompanies the visitor; a play of light makes the entire route accessible, highlighting step by step construction details, wall textures, the remains of an ancient cistern and part of the thermal structures below.
