Appreciation towards Schneider + Schumacher for providing the following description:

Schneider + Schumacher在2010年赢得前罗马庄园的这个改建竞赛，他们的出发点是提炼以往历史建筑要素，建立一个可进入的雕塑建筑亭。这个透明的别墅由片状的耐候钢组成，不寻常的空间体验使得游客们在此流连忘返。耐候钢能完美的抵御天气和时光的侵蚀。评审委员会高度评价这个设计以简明的方式让人领悟历史的真谛。景观设计将在2013年夏季完成，到时候还有一些其它的耐候钢要素巧妙的分布在景观中。

In 2010, an architectural and landscape limited competition was launched by the municipality of Blankenheim, together with the Regionale 2010 Agentur. It resulted in
schneider+schumacher winning first prize with their finely judged answer to the competition brief. This asked for suggestions as to how the former Roman manor – the Villa Rustica – might once again be made visible to the public. Taking up this challenge as their point of departure, the architects have now enhanced the Eifel region with a decidedly sculptural, walk-in installation.

The transparent lamellae structure made of prefabricated Corten steel offers the visitor an unusual spatial experience in the terrain: a place to linger and to gather information. The primary load-bearing structure of steel beams spans between the rigid steel framework around the columns, onto which the lamellae are threaded and welded in place. The architects chose to employ weathering steel (COR-TEN B), which, when exposed to weather, forms a layer of rust on the surface. This acts as a protective covering, preventing the material from further corrosion.

“Here we have a design where the special significance and dimensions of this historic site are made legible in a generous, clear and simple manner, without needing to resort to historic pastiche.” (Jury comment).  The landscape design will be completed in summer 2013 so that other former buildings and paths may again be brought to life. These will appear as graphic elements made of Corten steel, subtly distributed about the green landscape.
