The intention of the project is to provide the city a new multifunctional centre, a key location for a wide range of events. The fragmentation of the area and the multi-level structure of the existing buildings directed the project strategy to solutions transforming site limits in strong points. Within the modular shape of new pavilions, the project introduces a linear distribution of weights connecting fair sections through a spine-shaped element.

This formally complex structure has been conceived in order to represent in an appropriate way the new fair , putting the exposition pavilions in the background. The project pays particular attention to the landscape context. The planning for external areas, architectonic structures, materials and volumes distribution are chosen in relation to the natural environment and the proximity to the lake Garda and mountains.
