Cultural Area "Hahnekiez"
DIA has renovated and converted the former Auerhahn brewery in Schlitz near Fulda (Hessen), giving it a new lease of life. The listed overall site with a floor space of 800 square metres is a testimony to past industrial architecture and had not been in use since 1998. The cultural centre that has been created offers a flexibly usable events hall on the ground floor, an exhibition space in the vaulted cellar and room for a tourism office and municipal marketing.

TRADITION AND MODERNITY
The project is proposed as a careful intervention that will mediate between the existing constructions and the new ones. The formal resolutions of the proposed architectures dialogue with the traditional roofs of riverside constructions with 4-sloped roofs. The will of the new is to fit into the system of pre-existing buildings to be restored and preserved.

Alessandro Verona Studio breathes new life into a medieval fortification
La Vetrina dell’Ingegno — The Showcase of Ingenuity — is a project by Alessandro Verona Studio that has breathed new life into the the 13th century Tower of Santa Maria, part of the Palazzo Torriani architectural complex in the city of Udine, Northern Italy.

La Vetrina dell’Ingegno is now a place that captures the rich history and industrial activities of Udine. In its approach to reimagining the tower as a cultural space, Alessandro Verona Studio established a “critical distance between historical memory a... More
