Auditorium Paganini by Renzo Piano • Parma

The Auditorium dedicated to Niccolò Paganini was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano in the old buildings of the Eridania Sugar Factory. The project, included in a broader context of urban reorganization, aims to re-structure the buildings of the old factory retaining only the most significant. The Auditorium has a room of 780 seats and is equipped with a sophisticated sound systems. The project of Piano has led to the demolition of the two heads of the building replaced by two large structural glazing that make the surrounding park the natural scene of the theater. The result is spectacular, allowing the audience to enjoy the music while appreciating the auditorium’s restful natural setting from any location in the hall or the foyer.
