Cornigliano Ligure is widely known for its imposing ILVA steel plant, workers’ struggles and for being a proud, working class neighborhood.
Few people know that before the Fordist era, Cornigliano was a pleasant seaside town that hosted the new productive middle-class of the end of the 19th century and, even before, was a place of leisure for the Genoese aristocratic families, of which we can still admire the monumental villas now fully integrated into the urban structure.

Finally, very few people know that the entrepreneurial adventure of a Genoese family that became famous for candy production began in Cornigliano in 1926. The famous Dufour factory was born here. The production of candy left a long time ago and its spaces are now occupied by local sport associations which are very active in the neighborhood.

The new building project draws a new stereometric continuity with the roofs of the existing building to which it is connected via a covered gallery.
The new construction is only partially configured as a volumetric expansion following the demolition of portions of the existing building.

The technologies used and the entire BIM management will enable the construction phase to carry on without interrupting the activities of the associations.

An in depth research has been oriented towards the use of innovative technologies and materials produced by virtuous cycles of reuse, such as, for example, polycarbonate for the facades.
The use of renewable energy sources will guarantee a “near zero” consumption building capable of guaranteeing very high comfort performances with very low consumption.

The new ex Dufour building will be the first public building in Genoa with a LEED certification, from design to construction. The objective is to achieve the highest LEED level certification: LEED gold.

Finally, the outdoor areas, once dominated by cars and asphalt, now open up to the neighborhood with new, draining, light colored paving and two new, big trees: a Platanor Vallis Clausa and a Ginkgo biloba.
