The extension of Rimini Trade Fair concerns the construction of 12 new exhibition halls, in order to accommodate a larger number of visitors. The new buildings, already in construction, will cover the courtyard between the existing pavilions, transforming it from a loading/unloading area for trucks into an inner exhibition space. The architectural typology and the choise of the materials of the new structure have been studied in a way to be integrated with the existing buildings both from the aesthetic point of view and from the functional one.
