The urban regeneration of the now-former Military Refrigerator was conceived as the design of an urban container, flexible and polyvalent, capable of becoming a centre of attraction for the positive energies generated by the community. This vision encompasses a whole series of essential themes that consist of: the context, the landscape, urbanity, memory and contemporaneity.
The regeneration project wants to put the historical memory of the existing in dialogue with a contemporary language: the result entrusts the realization of the extension to two distinct but synergistic volumes.
The first that covers the highest level and characterized by a vegetal wall while the other is constituted as a clean volume, wrapped in a "skin" in textile material with a three-dimensional pattern (the result of the geometry of the skyline of the Alps), whose lightness and transparency are placed in counterpoint to the materiality of the existing base.
