Site Exploration from Above
11th Dec, 2015
Visit to Chiesa di Santa Margherita, 3rd December
This church, in Piazza Margherita, backs on to the main square of my site and is adjacent to the University of L'Aquila buildings Palazzi Camponeschi and Carli - the main sites for my project. I revisited the church in order to take pictures of these surrounding buildings and also the small private courtyard which connects the church to Camponeschi. The site foreman Duccio also let me access all the scaffolding surrounding the church both inside and out, so I was able to get panoramic roof top views of L'Aquila - a totally different perspective of the reconstruction.
Views of the central interior doors and rear elevation of Palazzo Spaventa.
Small auditorium underneath the courtyard between the church and Spaventa.
Palazzo Carli main elevation, and the courtyard between this and Spaventa.
