Renovating buildings nos. 108 and No. 109 on Tese della Novissima row involved constructing two-story steel and glass structures to house the central and executive offices of the MOSE mobile levee system. Given the symbolic significance of the buildings and the coordination duties assigned, works were conducted under the supervision of Art Director Prof. Arch. Alberto Cecchetto.

The existing structures’ cast-iron columns and reinforced concrete beams have been preserved and supported by a new metal framework.
