SnakECO
high-level training and research center
Massimiliano Cafagna, Paola Tumolo
The former paper factory of Marzabotto, situated in a charming landscape, is the suitable site to host a high-level training and research center: snakECO.
The project of the new complex has been developed through the recognition of an intrinsic to the value of the building, instantly recognizable for his evocative character; a sequence of compositional operations has determined the final configuration of the complex. The desire to connect disintegrated environments, belonging to a very complex architectural body, led design choices towards the realization of a route, able to make available all the parts of the building, recognizable through the use of the metal structure which sneaks in the many environments of the existing structure. The high-level training center contains research laboratories and classrooms, an exhibition hall and an auditorium, accommodation and services.
