Around it there are commercial and professional activities and the public space can be used even in summer thanks to the shadings designed (above) L’auditorium, che si affaccia sulla piazza dello spettacolo, ha una linea particolare e distintiva che incorpora anche una parte esterna – scavata nel terreno – adibita ad attività sportive e spettacoli all’aperto The auditorium, which overlooks the entertainment square, has a particular and distinctive line, which includes an outer part – dug in the ground – used for sport activities and outdoor performances The project started from instances and issues identified in the competition brief, in addition to the aspects pointed out during site views.
