Lingotto - Eataly | Negozio Blu Architetti Associati

The project involves the construction of a food and wine center dedicated to excellent food and drink, which includes space for product sales, thematic tasting restaurants, Eataly and Slow-Food offices, educational spaces, a conference room and the Carpano Museum .

The old boundary wall with the Lingotto becomes the new front entrance: the wall, plastered and painted with the same brick red hue that characterizes the existing buildings, is emptied by a large window that leads to the hall built in 1929 to house the high cylindrical cisterns, transformed into a monumental entrance to the complex. Two projecting glazed dowels, with an “oxide” pillar structure and red metal beams, highlight the conference room and the museum.

The courtyards are the main orientation and distribution space and are closed with a metallic carpentry cover and low emissivity selective glasses that allow a great transparency: from here the structure of the internal paths unwinds, conceived as a set of streets and public squares blankets of an "industrial village".
