Built on an area of 392 thousand square metres of which 90 thousand covered-surface, the “Kilometro Rosso” is due to ultimately be hailed as one of the major European campuses in the research and innovation sectors and is expected to employ a total of 3000 technical and research specialists from groups such as Brembo, Italcementi, the “Istituto Mario Negri” research institute, the Bergamo University, Daimler Chrysler and a selection of other companies, small and large, crowned by the cooperation of Boston’s prestigious MIT.

Ideated by Jean Nouvel, the world-famous contemporary French architect, with coordination by Studio Blast in Milan, the “Kilometro Rosso” park is land marked by a red, 10 metre high lamellar aluminium wall built alongside the A4 motorway which, upon overall works completion is due to be one kilometre long. Aptly, the wall length features large openings moulded to be reminiscent of automobile body structure inlet air vents.
