Grottole
réhabilitation d’une ruine en salle de concert
The Concert Hall is designed in a way it belongs to the city most of the time. The Chiesa Diruta becomes a public space when there is no cultural events. In a largely abandoned city centre, creating a new public space allows Grottolesi to take over the space, to galvanize the city life and develop the tourist attractiveness of the city. Creating a free public space also invites citizens to define new functions and events such as city councils and meetings, marketplaces or sport events. Working on such an historical ruin meant for us to allow people to connect themselves with the memories of the building. The glazzed nave and the clear space are bringing back the ancient memories of the Church, but also reveal the history of the ruin it has become.
