Description
Summary:The former Palazzo delle Terme has its two wings connected by a volume in reinforced concrete that acts like a “bridge”, which contains a hanging pool: the former Piscina del Duce, current Piscina Pensile. The pool is subjected to extreme artificial environmental conditions: the relative humidity in the room is linked to the temperature of the water in the pool, the heating of the air and the lack of appropriate ventilation mechanisms. These conditions lead to condensation on the walls of the perimeter and to the formation of mold. The condensation contains traces of chlorine, hence it is particularly corrosive and may undermine the  resistance of the structure, as well as the many technological elements necessary for heating and air and water treatment. This research was developed in several archives in Rome in which the author was able to consult the architectural project, technical descriptions of the building and photographic surveys. The architectural survey was done simultaneously and was followed by the survey of construction pathologies. The research allowed a discussion pertinent to the restoration of a designated modern building that is still functioning and subject to a great load oftechnical equipment and energy expenses.
