Concept

Space to Culture competition is about the refurbishment of the previous La Perla factory in Quarto Inferiore, Bologna. The original building was designed by the local architect Pierluigi Cervellati in the early Seventies and enlarged by the same Cervellati in the Nineties. It is a valuable example of high-quality industrial architecture that aimed firstly to guarantee the well-being of workers inside and outside the building.
The structural skeleton is almost integrally preserved, as well as its façades and its technological equipments (updated to respond to contemporary requirements in terms of sustainability and efficiency). On the other hand, all interior partitions are eliminated to allow a global rethinking of its functioning. A set of 6 space-making devices organize the resulting open space, providing the maximum level of flexibility and thus accommodating the evolving needs of stakeholders and visitors.
