The design aims at back to the future, with not denying the past and not afraid of the future. Instead of the traditional conservative building renewal method, the design prefer a more thoroughly updated and transformed plan, on the basis of fully analyzing the existing building value. On the aspect of “Back”, The design retains the outline the original industrial building in order to inherit the original urban image.

On the aspect of “Future”, the limited narrow site leads to a bold way to deal the new-built building as landscapes integrated into the whole site, enabling the external space to develop in multiple dimensions and open to the city to attract local residents and foreign tourists,This new city landmark will be the potential core in the next “Urban Up” phase for Laveno Mombello.
