Palacongressi di Rimini, Italy

The conference center, which is the largest in Italy, follows an innovative concept in that it combines conferences with exhibitions; at the same time it is also an urban design pilot project for a cultural center which has been planned on the other side of the road and which includes a concert hall by Mario Botta.

The overall complex, designed by von Gerkan, Marg and Partners Architects (gmp), is made up of four distinct areas which contain large and small halls on two levels. It is expected that the President of the Emilia-Romagna region, Vasco Errani, and the Minister for Tourism, Michela Vittoria Brambilla, will attend the inauguration ceremony.
