Travettore Municipal Stadium Roofing. Didonè Comacchio architects

The Didone' Comacchio architectural studio designed the new roofing for the municipal stadium in Travettore. The grandstands created from the decline of the ground are protected by the new trilithic structure. The base is composed of two perpendicular baffles made of reinforced concrete and covered with stone-effect stoneware. The two elements support the flat coffered roof, made of black steel beams. The different materials and the change in thickness of the elements make the horizontal volume seem to be balanced on the two blocks, giving the work a great sense of horizontal dynamism. Thanks to the compositional language adopted, which follows the philosophy of German architect Mies van der Rohe, the new stadium roof relates harmoniously with the verticality of the surrounding nature, as if to form a frame that encourages the eye to look towards it.
