The project for the FIV Federal Center - Casa Vela is part of the broader urban regeneration intervention of the Eastern Waterfront in Genoa, which affects a large area of the city, designed by architect Renzo Piano. The intervention aims to redevelop the former exhibition pavilions, enhancing access to the sea. The FIV Federal Center will be built at the end of the connecting canal between the new Waterfront dock and the open sea, in a strategic position.
