Auditorium canavesano, combining respect for the environment with innovation and contemporary architecture.

The project is characterized by the following salient elements: • construction feasibility and functionality of the work; • usability for all (design for all); • integration into the reference context and environmental requalification of the same; • compliance with the LEED sustainability protocol • compliance with wellness protocols for WELL users (among which particular attention will be paid to acoustic comfort) • nZEB energy performance • high technological content; • anti-seismic structures • high levels of safety, durability, ease of maintenance and low operating costs over time; • planning of works aimed at maximizing safety on site and compliance with the deadline for completion of the works.

The new building is inserted in a central part of the urban agglomeration of the municipality of Ciriè which alternates altered urban fabric with still some buildings of historical-cultural significance built between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. A section of the garden wall (which once extended to include the establishments of the Remmert industrial area) is planned to be pulled down in order to let the auditorium erupts from the edges, opening up to the city.

The approach to design in terms of sustainability and user well-being was guided by the criteria of the Well and Leed protocols. The new facility will be fully accessible to people with disabilities (design for all). The building will be constructed following the parameters of green building with NZEB energy performance. The lower energy consumption of the new building allows to drastically reduce the impact on the environment and on the climate.The rainwater and gray water recovery and reuse technologies introduced in the new building make it possible to significantly reduce the consumption of water resources.Process of evaluation and reuse of existing materials, mainly inert, about 15% in weight on the total weight of the building resulting from the demolition of the walls masonry.

It is a unitary and compact body - an irregular gold-colored polyhedron - with a strong communicative value, a sort of very recognizable and attractive shell in dialogue with the surrounding urban fabric, redeveloping it, stimulating curiosity and inviting people to discover what it happens inside. A section of the garden wall (which once extended to include the establishments of the Remmert industrial area) is planned to be pulled down in order to let the auditorium erupts from the edges, opening up to the city and to new and unexpected perspectives. Following design criteria that see users at the center of the project, the building created takes care of human beings and moves back (where it is necessary to create sidewalks - which do not exist - along the adjacent streets), bends down (where it is necessary to create a public space ), protects (creating a large cantilevered canopy where passers-by read the programming on a led wall).
