Riso 02 – San Lorenzo is a collective work designed by more than 60 students all together. A mosaic of different perspectives and short visual narratives on the visual identity of a Roman district: San Lorenzo. Due to its proximity to Rome’s main train station, to the freight yard and to the monumental cemetery, this district was once populated by railwaymen, delivery men and marble workers, whereas today it is mainly a university area. Landmark of the Italian resistance movement in Rome and heavily bombed during World War II, San Lorenzo is still the scene of many conflicts. And yet it is an area where culture actually flourish and live. The volume – printed in Risograph entirely – presents and describes the district along with the visible signs of its past and its rapidly changing present.
“Riso 02 – San Lorenzo” won the Bronze Award in the category “Student’s project” at the European Design Awards 2020.
