Client: Altaponteparodi s.p.a.
Scientific supervisor: Stefano Baia Curioni
Research  team: Beatrice Manzoni, Marta Inversini

The ASK Centre, in collaboration with Altaponteparodi (the society in charge of the realization and management of a multi-purpose centre in the Ponte Parodi area, within the Old Port of Genoa), implements a study for the use of the cultural space envisaged by the project.

The research has different steps:

  • analysis of the Old Port functioning, outlining the possible relationship of the cultural space with the port and appraising the potential visitors flows;
  • analysis of the cultural system of Genoa, with particular attention to its cultural policies;
  • selection of relevant national or international case studies in relation to the use of art spaces in port areas;
  • identification of different scenarios for the Ponte Parodi cultural space and definition, for each of them, of possible organizational models, of the related economic-financial-management implications, of the guidelines for the dimensioning and the characteristics of the cultural space.
