Redevelopment of Caserma Santa Barbara in Milan kicks off

18 April 2023

After winning the tender in recent months, Politecna kicks off the project for the redevelopment of the Caserma Santa Barbara in Milan. The state-owned complex, a valuable testimony to the monumental architecture of the 1930s, is currently in disuse and will be used for the activities of the Italian Army’s Transmissions Regiment. The project will be entirely developed in a BIM environment, from the preliminary activities of surveying the state of affairs to the final design delivery. In addition to contributing to seismic improvement and energy efficiency, the intervention includes the restoration and re-functionalization of seven low buildings of the complex, which is protected for its architectural and historical value by the Soprintendenza Archeologia, Belle Arti e Paesaggio of the Metropolitan City of Milan.

We are first in the standings for the executive design and execution of works for a studio within Cinecittà, the largest film production studios in Europe.

Our proposal, presented together with Italiana Costruzioni SpA, aims to obtain the highest standards of energy efficiency, helping to improve the environmental quality of its context. Moreover, a careful study of the soundproofing power of the entire building has been completed with a significant improvement in acoustic comfort. In line with the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principle, the theater provides non-invasive solutions for the environment and a circular approach. The project contributes to making this one of the most interesting restyling operations in the history of Cinecittà, which benefits from PNRR funds to promote culture, the arts and entertainment.
