italian studio nicoletti associati have designed the sundsvall arts center in sweden. the shell covers the buildings of the new arts centre (theatres, rehearsal rooms, etc), gathered around a piazza foyer, integrated with the magazinet and the urban pattern. the shell protects from the external noise and the harsh seaside weather conditions allowing a very inexpensive and refined cladding of the various building elements of the centre. maintenance and internal transformation cost are drastically reduced. pleasant liveability increased. the cost of the shell envelope results from the peeling off of the weather and sound proof skin of the arts centre.
