Atmosplay Grounds : Dust, Carbon and Community Atmosplay Grounds is a speculative architectural proposal set in the post-industrial landscape of Lago Ex Snia, Rome. The project responds to the site's layered conditions of abandonment, rewilding, and ongoing pollution by proposing architecture as an active mediator between environmental recovery, public space, and civic life.
Lightweight pavilions support a system of tectonic roofs that capture airborne particulate matter through electrostatic charge. Rainwater guides pollutants down mesh attenuation drapes into phytoremediative ponds, where toxins are filtered through plant-based systems. Supporting cooling, dust mitigation, and soil regeneration. A public programme of sport and play is woven into this ecological framework. Elevated courts benefit from cleaner air, while sunken spaces offer thermal comfort and shelter. The project positions architecture as infrastructure for care, engaging local communities while testing sustainable responses to urban pollution.
