BASILI- CO

//

PROJECT: MEDIATECH+

// ADAPTIVE REUSE OF BUILT LEGACY

// SUPERVISED BY: MATTEO ROBIGLIO

This factory hall is part of the ex-OGM site, in the Aurora neighborhood of Turin. It was designed by Mattè Trucco and constructed during a two-phase project between 1911 and 1913. Because of its church-like form with a central nave to allow work on large naval engines (span 19m, height 15m) and two smaller and lower bays (height 10.2m) at its side, it is known as the ‘Basilica’. It is the western end of what was once a 160m hall, the rest of the hall having been demolished in 2010 to make space for the construction of a hypermarket and a residential tower.

The remaining structure is 47m long and 35m wide and has a total floor area of 2400m² and a footprint of 1645m². The building has a section as a façade. And when we look at the plan, the U-shaped plan and the presence of a large hall area reminded us of ancient theatres. Having a structurally regular plan, the Basilica allowed flexible spaces to be designed.
