“An excellent example of the smart transformation of an existing structure” – Holcim Awards Jury

  • 1 / 1

    Project entry 2011 "Lifestyle apartments and infrastructure recycled from former freeway viaducts", Scilla, Italy: General axonometry.

The jury endorsed this project as an excellent example of the smart transformation of an existing structure into a completely different use offering new economic chances to an up until now neglected region.

Remarkable is the minimal footprint and the way the scheme efficiently makes use of the bridge’s supporting structure that is to accommodate the infrastructure and technical utilities. The fact that the bridge will not be demolished results in a positive material balance and reduces the overall expenses.
