In the new episode of 50 Telereggio, the programme dedicated to architecture and the transformation of Reggio Emilia, the focus is on the Porta San Pietro high-rise, designed by CAIREPRO in 1953.
Through the account of Engineer Paolo Genta, the episode explores the decisions that led to the creation of a building of this scale within a historic urban context undergoing significant change.
The conversation with Architect Andrea Zamboni, who led the 2023 renovation, offers insight into the works carried out and into how the building has been updated to respond to contemporary needs.
A project that marked a turning point for its time and accompanied the urban evolution of Reggio Emilia.
