Every so often, I take a walk around Turin with an architect friend to learn about interesting but little-known contemporary buildings. Lots of people know about Carlo Mollino\u2019s Teatro Regio and Chamber of Commerce, Roberto Gabetti and Aimaro Isola\u2019s Stock Exchange and Renzo Piano and Massimiliano Fuksas\u2019s skyscrapers. But, oddly, there are a few buildings by famous architects in Turin that almost no one knows about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Mario Botta\u2019s church of the Santo Volto<\/a>, built between 2004 and 2006, with a bell tower made out of an old smokestack. The project was almost stopped by arguments over costs, but a referendum was held among the city\u2019s priests, and a majority was in favour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or Aldo Rossi\u2019s Casa Aurora<\/a>, which has a theatre inside it. Or Norman Foster\u2019s new university campus<\/g> on the banks of the Dora River. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, taking a short day trip, you can visit Palazzo Fata in Pianezza and the former Cartiere Burgo office building in San Mauro, both designed by Oscar Niemeyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Casa Aurora GFT Office Building, Aldo Rossi with G. Braghieri, G. Ciocca, F. Marchesotti, M. Oks, M. Scheurer and L. Uva; 1984-1987, Turin, corso Emilia – corso Giulio Cesare.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
