Car park of the Exhibition Centre Bologna
The new car park of the Exhibition Centre Bologna demonstrates that a car park can not only be functional, but also appealing from an architectural point of view.

The new development – formerly a simple parking area – has not only generated urgently required space, but has also integrated perfectly into the existing concept of the Exhibition Center Bologna. The architectural mesh plays a prominent role in this concept. As stainless steel mesh had already been used for the façade of the two-storey exhibition hall 16/18, it seemed a natural progression to use the same material for the c... More
