adaptations of the wall: considering past, present, & future developments

The wall presents itself as a boundary, suitable for larger roads (infrastructure).

It seems two walls are present, making for an ideal parking-lot area/thoroughfare.

A curious man using a parking meter.

An adaptation of the wall/boundary is presented as an integral part of a city: irrigation (infrastructure)

Adaptations of the wall/boundary are revealed and concealed: evidence of premeditated design strategies for city planning (infrastructure)

Did the wall/boundary of the city designate social classes? The farmers living towards the edges. The merchants/government officials living towards the center/downtown area. Today, the lines of class are blurred.

Territories around the wall have been transformed according to modern day necessity; a parking lot.

Evidence of future planning; considering traffic, this gate accommodates a modern two-way road

A residence has taken root in the expansive territory near the less occupied/dense area along the wall. An alternative to the typical Vicenza flat

The outer wall/most recent of archaic footprints is ideal for interstates (infrastructure)

How are modern day accommodations stitched onto the wall? Is the character/appearance/facade faked?

An opportunity?

The wall as an anchor.

Reading the lines of old and new.
