Still incomplete the L’Aquila Auditorium by Renzo Piano
Is still
unfit for use the magnificent new
temporary Auditorium in L'Aquila projected and realized by Renzo Piano in range
of post-earthquake of 2009 reconstruction. The new structure was inaugurated on Sunday October 7th, but it was
still incomplete. Today the inhabitant of L’Aquila are still waiting for the completion of the interior part. The auditorium idea came about thanks to the efforts of Claudio Abbado, who,
in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, called for a solution to create a
space dedicated to music, also involving Piano to allow a
rapid recovery of that intense musical activity that has always characterized
the city. Piano has always defined his auditorium as "ephemeral
architecture", made of wood and not of stone and therefore also capable of
being dismantled in the future. In fact the new auditorium, funded by the
Autonomous Province of Trento was built with precious wood from Val di Fiemme:
it’s a structure with 250 seats, three wooden cubes of different sizes located
next to each other in an irregular manner. The central body guests the Auditorium
Hall; the other 2 cubes guest general services for the public, the foyer with
the bar, wardrobe, ticket counters and services for artists. A square connects
the city and the Auditorium. Wood technology and anti-seismic building
technologies are an example of “well building”.
