The Citadel Project House:

For centuries, the Citadel locked out any attempt at invasion, constituting an unbreachable barrier to the north of the city. By bestowing new uses upon it, the project seeks to open it up to the surrounding neighbourhoods. The exhibition mounted in the project house takes visitors through every stage in the Citadel’s history and the gradual process of its transformation. Apart from presenting the project’s patrimonial, architectural, urban and landscaping characteristics, two further aspects – its place in the city and the location within its walls of the university Literature, Languages and History/Geography Education and Research Units – come under focus. Finally, a model, sketches and plans introduce you to the Renzo Piano Building Workshop project and help you appreciate its full scope.
