The project concerns the restoration of the former Jesuit church to be used as a playroom and multi-purpose space.
Localization and urbanistic references
The area of intervention is located near the historic center, adjacent to the city park of Bologna and a few hundred meters from schools of all levels and from the train station.
Description of the intervention
The recovery project stems from the strong desire of the Municipal Administration to return the Church of Sant'Ignazio a Fasola to the entire citizenry, involving all age groups in future use. The result was a design work that proposes the creation of a multi-purpose building, whose strong stylistic figure can be read in the full opening towards the city, taking advantage of the existing entrance towards Via Tasso and strengthening it with the opening of a new entrance towards Parco Città di Bologna, a natural access road at the eastern end of the large deconsecrated church.

On the ground floor there will be a large covered park (a natural continuation of the aforementioned city park), for children and teenagers, a meeting place for families. In addition to two large play areas, which will be modulated on the different age groups of the users, a reading room and a bar, two multifunctional boxes are provided for the free play of the little ones. These boxes, as closed and delimited areas, can also be used to carry out targeted activities such as workshops or organized game moments. The creation of the toy library would represent an important element in the social life of families with children / young people. The ground floor will be completed by the construction of an entrance with an information and orientation point.
The first floor will be dedicated to a multi-purpose room with a capacity of around 190 seats. Mobile chairs have been provided in order to make it as dynamic and usable for different purposes as possible: conferences, lectures, screenings, and ceremonies. The room will be equipped with a large entrance foyer. The furniture of the foyer will allow it to be modulated as another small conference / conference room, for small exhibitions or temporary exhibitions.
