Giving back to your city what it gave you. After rehabilitating Genoa's old port in preparation for the 500th anniversary celebrations in 1992e <\/sup>anniversary of the discovery of America by another famous Genoese, Christopher Columbus, architect Renzo Piano continues to redesign the waterfront of his native city with the Waterfront di Levante project.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A marina, an urban park providing a gentle link with the historic centre, a seafront promenade for the passeggiata, luxury flats in transparent buildings and, for business travellers, a luxurious Sofitel: this new architectural symbol of the Italian metropolis is part of the regeneration of the former Fiera del Mare exhibition centre into a new, predominantly sustainable district, following the Nearly Zero Energy Building approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Reclaimed from the sea in the 1960s, the area had already seen the opening of the Pavillon Bleu in 2009, a 20,000 m\u00b2 exhibition centre redesigned by Jean Nouvel. Taking over other former pavilions, a more extensive transformation is now underway to make way for the new living spaces. Meanwhile, the sports hall, which has fallen into disuse, will be transformed into a brand new arena under the direction of Renzo Piano Building Workshop.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
