Workshop Palazzo del Lavoro presentation

THE PALAZZO DEL LAVORO IN TURIN WORKSHOP WAS A SPACE FOR NEW RESEARCH ABOUT SUSTAINABLE AND CONCRETE FUNCTIONS FOR THE REUSE OF A PIER LUIGI NERVI’S MASTERPIECE. THROUGH THE EXPLORATION AND EXPERIMENTATION OF FUNCTIONAL AND ARCHITECTURAL NATURE, THE STUDENTS DEVELOPED A STUDY TAKING INTO STRONG ACCOUNT NERVI’S ORIGINAL CONCEPT AND TESTED IT IN THEIR SCALE MODELS. STARTING FROM THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXISTING MASTERPIECE, STUDENTS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN TOWARDS AN UPDATED INTERPRETATION OF PALAZZO DEL LAVORO. PROJECTS PROVIDE NEW FUNCTIONAL SPACES IN COHERENCE WITH MAIN COMPONENTS OF PALAZZO DEL LAVORO: THESE GERMINAL ENTITIES HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED TO CREATE FORMAL GROWTHS ROOTED IN PIER LUIGI NERVI’S CONSTRUCTIVE CONCEPTS.
