Extreme sports park, Alessandria.

XXL Xtreme Xperience Land

XXL is the first center in Italy dedicated to extreme sports and entertainment.
A multi-experience space, where everyone can find in the same place an offer adapted to their needs

All this in an exceptional site, a decommissioned thermoelectric power plant, whose memory and communicative power of the imposing industrial structures were to be preserved, which hybridizing, become the perfect scenario and container of the planned activities.

The only new element is the building-pathway that fluidly traverses the entire site, distributing visitors and providing support services for the various activities.
