The “A. Riberi” Military Hospital under renovation is
a vast complex built between 1906 and 1913.
The central section of the construction is a series of pavilions arranged
in a comb-like pattern located around a horseshoe-shaped glass wall
gallery, which blends in perfectly with the entire complex.
The pavilions rise to several floors above ground and overlook vast
open areas planted with a variety of trees, in some cases majestic.
The connecting passageway, supported by thin columns that allow an
unobstructed view, enables all the connected areas to be used as a
single space, and also has a fundamental function in the renovation
plan for its use as a Media Village.
In fact, the plan provides for the renovation of the area allocated
as a village for journalists in order to provide accommodation facilities
for 1,007 people with the amenities of a three-star hotel.
The renovation of the pavilions, in addition to improving the surrounding
environment, includes excavation and moving of earth that, by lowering
the height of the buildings, creates an improved architectural solution
and, by modifying the internal pathways, allows the disabled better
access and movement.
Finally, two pavilions will be restored to centralize existing hospital
and logistics services, enabling a more organised use of the areas
for the armed forces.
