The use of ‘structural prefabrication’ in the Flaminio Stadium by Pier Luigi and Antonio Nervi. A technical-constructive study aimed at formulating guidelines for a future conservation plan

The paper highlights the specificity and originality of the solutions adopted by Nervi in the construction of the Flaminio Stadium (Pier Luigi and Antonio Nervi, 1957-59), as well as his talent as a designer and engineer. The text presents both a summary of the research carried out on the terracing and the canopy of the Stadium (built using “structural prefabrication”) and draws attention to the research methodology, of which this study is a part. The research was funded by the Getty Foundation with the aim of formulating guidelines for the future conservation project of the Stadium.
