The location of the site has particular characteristics due to its outstanding historical, archeological and architectural values, and requires a process of enhancement and a level of quality that will ensure the approval from the Italian and the international architectural communities, as well as from the general public.

Of course ensuring approval was elusive, especially from the general public; I believe Meier's design was referred to as "The Gas Station" by residents of Rome. The Catch 22 is that the only way they could have REALLY ensured approval would have been to NOT design a Richard Meier building.
