the restructure and recovery of the ex military arsenal on the island of la maddalena
in northern sardinia, italy have been completed in record time.

a hotel, a congress centre, a conference building, two large exhibition and commercial
spaces, a quay for 700 boats, were all part of the project designed by stefano boeri architects.

initiated a year ago with the scope of hosting the G8 summit, recently moved to the
earthquake hit zone of l’aquila, the constructions have reclaimed and equipped an area
of 155.000 m2, providing with a series of port, receptive, formative and convention
infrastructure that will transform the ex arsenale at maddalena into one of the principle
nautical poles of the eastern mediterranean.

due to the incorporation of active design strategies that conserve and value resources such
as seawater for air conditioning the buildings take advantage of renewable resources
such as wind and sun the project is a model of sustainable practice tuned to the improvement
and preservation of the extraordinary qualities of the mediterranean landscape and the natural
biodiversity that distinguish the archipelago of la maddalena.
