Limbo is another name that Catholic teaching gives to purgatory.

In Catholic theology, purgatory is where some souls go before they are allowed to enter heaven--the souls there do not deserve hell/inferno, but they don't exactly deserve heaven/paradiso yet either, hence they are in limbo.

Some other dictionary definitions:
...the souls of unbaptized infants are in limbo
a place or state of restraint or confinement
a place or state of neglect or oblivion
an intermediate or transitional place or state; a middle ground

In Terragni's Danteum, purgatory is designed as a "room" that is both (equally?) inside and outside--the transitional place. Spposedly, this is to have an uneasy effect, being neither inside or outside, but I think you can look at it positively as well, being both inside and outside--the center of the Villa Savoye is a perfect (positive) example.

Using this analogy re: the architectural promenade, when one is at this point in the path, then (I assume) one can experience/learn from/take advantage of both (heaven/hell inside/outside) realms.

..you may be onto something significant re: limbo architecture. I never made such a connection before. Moreover, i think the qualification of Piranesi's prisons and the Berlin Jewish Museum as 'limbo architecture' is poignantly apt.
