Cultural Recreational Centre Genoa Italy Shortlisted competition for an international, cultural and recreational centre. A new wave of activity has recently energised the Port of Genoa. The new centre creates an innovative point of attraction on Ponte Parodi both for Genoa and the rest of the world. The proposed scheme forms a stunning landmark for the city. Our vision for the development's functions is flexible rather than static. Building design enables adaptation to both on-going and future requirements. The shell is a roof-like structure incorporating flexible qualities that respond to changes of internal functions.
