Former Battilani churchFlorence
The project develops the building as two functional autonomous yet intercommunicating nuclei. The volume on Via S. Reparata, with a floor area of almost 300 m² (excluding storerooms, hallways and bathrooms) will be used as offices for the Dean of Architecture. While the former church will contain an Auditorium, seating 248, for university Faculties located in the historic centre, and to create a dedicated refreshment area in the ex-sacristy.
