Multifunctional Center Lingotto

The Multifunctional Center Lingotto, located at Via Nizza 248 in Turin, Italy, is a significant example of adaptive reuse in industrial architecture. Originally constructed in 1923 as a Fiat automobile factory, the building was transformed into a multipurpose complex by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) in 2002. The conversion preserved the structure's historical integrity while introducing modern facilities, including exhibition spaces, conference centers, hotels, offices, and retail areas. Notably, the rooftop test track was restored and remains accessible to the public. (rpbw.com)
