This factory hall is meant to house an exhibition, workshops, stores and offices of the Italian subsidiary of the Volkswagen firm. It is sited in an urbanized, but not yet built up, area. Its ground area is 54 by 38 m. Part of the frontage, about 36 m, is set back 8 m with respect to the remaining 18 m; the latter correspond to the part of the building occupied by the exhibition hall. As the ground is weak, it has been necessary to use piles to support the foundations. The structure is metallic, and the enclosing walls and roof consist of prefabricated panels and metals sheets. The roof contains a special chamber, where the air conditioning ducts and other services are housed. Great care has been taken over the colour patterns, both inside and outside. The type of structure and use of prefabricated panels has greatly lowered the overall cost of the building. All the foundation elements have been suitable waterproofed.
