The Saline Domes — Architecture That Grows, Collapses, and Records

Field notes

The project is catalogued as an RC16 Vanishing City Urban Design MArch unit from 2026, with four students and tutors Claudia Pasquero and Filippo Nassetti identified on the page. Its proposed system combines site-parameter-derived dome frameworks with salt-crystallisation fields and microbial mineralisation. The exhibition frames these processes as a record of environmental change, while explicitly distinguishing the host architecture from a finished salt-built structure.
