A2-A3 industrial building refurbishing
in the former Junghans area
Italy, Venice – 1998-2002

 
The A2-A3 building is a simple existing industrial building. Small alterations in its profile try to give architectural dignity to its new role as a backdrop of the newly designed square.

The loggias excavated in the topmost floor underline the screen-like character of the south façade, whose new public function is reinforced by a new copper-clad canopy.
