New auditorium building project 

Conceived to give back to L’Aquila an everlasting aggregation hub for the people affected by the earthquake in 2009, this high sustainable structure is composed by three wooden cubes that perfectly blend themselves with the surrounding environment 

Our work: Value engineering, final structural and constructional design of the main building, including seismic dampers and wooden structures. In particular, we amended the original proposal with a new one characterized by a construction system made of free-standing X-lam and glulam inspired by the Brunelleschi’s Dome at Florence Cathedral
