The Lazzareschi Foundation Centre was raised up in only six months and by November 21st, 2003, decennial anniversary of the premature disappearing of Giuseppe Lazzareschi, the Centre was inaugurated. The building is placed in the most important city’ Square. It responds to the first scope of the Foundation, presenting the ideal characteristics to become a suggestive public space disposed for the community, where to promote social, cultural and enterprise initiatives.

The project idea was to create an abstract and light volume, partially transparent; a containing architecture for showing spaces filtrated by a diffuse and mutable light. The external cover consists in a light yellow glass skin, whose partial overlapped panels design a multiline profile.

The cover slightly degrades from a strong yellow colour at the ground level to an absolute transparency at the ceiling, where it lets to catch a glimpse of the internal ambient.

The simplicity of the volume shape hides inside the required technological structure to support the panels of temperate glass, and the beech wood cover hide the attic and the service area.

The air exchange is possible thanks to the presence of ten conic section skylights and the air conditioning system.
