The project starts from the necessity of placing side by side a certain number of medium selling areas, almost completely lacking in connections between each other, providing a huge part for services (mostly parking spaces) as connected as possible to every single structure.
\nBecause of the difficult relationship of the pre-existing with the current city, the demolition of the complex ex-Metalmetron, as it is currently structured, was chosen, maintaining the curved building containing the canteen and the changing rooms and inserting part of the handcraft activities and connecting it to the system hotel-car park.
\nThe plan is, then, to unify in a unique architectonical and expressive element the car park and the hotel, imagined as a tower. The volumes have been rarefied thanks to a treatment of the facade that works in an expressive way per “pixel”. It is a choice of mimetism, but not shyness or sense of guilt: the system of the green pixels allows the passage from a natural green to an artificial one, anticipating the transformation of Savona from an industrial reality to a touristic city.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
