The funds of about 200,000 dollars come following a multidisciplinary work involving Italian, European and US researchers led by the Politecnico di Torino and coordinated by Professor Rosario Ceravolo. The project includes among other IUAVs of Venice, University of Miami, Buzzi-Unicem, and takes place in concert with the City of Turin, owner of the complex, Scr Piemonte Spa, the contracting authority responsible for managing the interventions on the building financed with the remaining 2006 Olympic funds, and Pier Luigi Nervi Project, the association chaired by Marco Nervi, who since 2008 has been involved in the protection of the works of the engineer. The project, selected by the Getty Foundation within a fully international call, will synthesize the results into a conservation management plan that merges structural requirements and conservation standards with clear guidelines for the city to prepare the structure for new use. read more
