The renovation, which covers a total surface area of around 80,000 square meters, has been designed to increase personal wellbeing through the provision of modern, comfortable workspaces conceived around the concept of more agile organization. The lighting and air conditioning systems will ensure the utmost comfort while the distribution of the rooms will alternate working environments with green indoor and outdoor spaces and areas devoted to mental and physical wellbeing. The building will also feature additional employee wellness facilities, with the existing crèche, canteen and auditorium, all complemented by a new gym. The building’s sustainability and comfort will be assessed by external international bodies, with the aim of achieving the LEED and WELL certifications at Gold level.
Structural, energy and environmental problems related to the large Italian built-up heritage lacking architectural value often raise the issue regarding the economic viability of renovation projects, which in the end leads to the alternative of demolition and reconstruction in most cases or the sharp option of using virgin land in others. Nonetheless, within the context of environmental sustainability projects of a wider scope which are currently more urgent than ever, and thus highly incentivized we can immediately understand the importance of renovation works aiming to provide existing buildings with features comparable to new ones. By adopting an approach decisive enough to meet the expectations of contemporary architecture, we can restart the life cycle of buildings, preserving their original footprint and minimizing waste and pollutants. With regard to the design phase, the presence of the past which is traditionally the main theme of reusing allows architects to develop intriguing interpretations on how to transform constraints into opportunities.

The People Mover designed for the city of Bologna is a transport system that is innovative in terms of technology, the regulation of circulation and architectural features.The infrastructure, with a total length of 5084 metres, is composed of a monorail, with two terminals – at the airport and the train station and the intermediate stop of Lazzaretto, about halfway along the route, where the cars cross. The stop includes the depot and workshop, as well as the centralized control station. The stops and the bridge over the ring-road/motorway system were designed based on a type of architecture that takes into account the need to connect an infrastructure to an urban fabric that will undergo major redevelopment work, but that is partially absorbed by the outlying countryside. Its stops are set in different contexts in terms of both architectural structure and urban fabric. The stops are connected to each other via a route with a walkway running along the track, serving as a passenger escape route in case of emergency.
