Refurbishment of a period building: roof replacement and works on the elevations, with scaffolding around the whole perimeter.
Turin
Via Carso
Via Carso, Turin: the building from above, with the new roof laid and scaffolding on all four sides
An occupied building, in a crowded block
The scaffolding runs around the whole perimeter and the site opens straight onto the street. In a setting this tight the hoarding, the material storage and the protection of passers-by are not paperwork: they are the constraint that sets the programme.
Control is a daily matter
Work at height on a period building changes every day: what you find when you open a roof is never exactly what the drawings say. That is why the site inspection is not an event, it is a routine.
