Contemporary Turin
The city’s architectural evolution began in the 1970s, laying the foundations for the transformation in progress: that of new, state-of-the-art infrastructures built for the Olympic appointment, like Palasport by Arata Isozaki and Pier Paolo Maggiora, the Oval by Hok Sport and Studio Zoppini, Palavela reinterpreted by Gae Aulenti and Arnaldo De Bernardi.
Then there is the covered market, by Massimiliano Fuksas, in Piazza della Repubblica, the University District for the Faculty of Humanities by Norman Foster, the new Porta Susa Station by Gruppo Arep, the Santo Volto church by Mario Botta.
These and other buildings, created by conversions of historic or disused industrial structures are just a few examples of how the city is being transformed by the great names of architecture.
