Arch. Benedetto Camerana has given shape to the needs of an event of international importance, which has brought the most important world tennis professionals to Italy and which will be repeated in the city for the next 4 years. The Savoy capital is in fact the venue for the Nitto ATP Finals from 2021 to 2025.
Camerana designed two interventions: the transformation of the Pala Alpitour, designed by the “Pritzker” prize, Arata Isozaki, for the ice hockey competitions on the occasion of the 2006 Winter Olympics and the two pavilions in Piazza San Carlo (Turin), one of the monumental Baroque centers of the city.
The project focuses on the transformation of the Pala Alpitour, the iconic building of the 2006 Winter Olympics. Inside Camerana proposes and implements important functional adaptations, while on the outside it prefigures the Tennis Village which would create a system of pavilions connected by a walkway with an innovative and suggestive design, in ideal connection with the red Olympic arch that from the Winter Olympics dominates the area of the Lingotto. The pavilions would host integrated functions of the arena, including a warm-up court, lounge areas and spaces for the sponsors of the event. Lightness, immediacy of assembly, recyclability, energy and material sustainability are their technological characteristics.
Some complementary functions are distributed within some nearby buildings, such as the Children's and Youth Theater House, the Sporting ASD Press Club and the headquarters of the Italian-ACI Automobile Club (formerly designed by Benedetto Camerana).
