 Turin: Le Meridien Lingotto - Traveler Reviews - great if you work at it - TripAdvisor
The Lingotto complex was one of the earliest purpose built car factories (anywhere) which has been converted into a modern conference and business complex - but with shopping mall, university, cinemas, food courts and the Agnelli (FIAT) family's private art gallery on the roof floating above the old car test track (now a jogging track).
There are not many hotels in the world where you can get up in the morning and take the lift up to the top floor to view a few millions worth of Canalettos, Picassos, Matisses and the odd Renoir or two and then go for a run.
One of the nicest bonuses of this hotel is that part of the Lingotto complex includes a large shopping mall, including a supermarket and large electronics/hi-fi/computer store, so it is terrific for shopping.

 Torino 2006 - An Arch, the First Symbol of the Olympic Games of Torino 2006
The call for bids requested a project for a long pedestrian bridge that would straddle the almost 400 metres of the Lingotto railway yard and connect the reconstructed buildings of the ex-MOI to an underground station, at that time planned behind the Lingotto, but later moved to another area.
The arch is 69 metres tall and has a triangular section; it is inclined towards the Lingotto to favour the geometry of the stays, and it is asymmetrical to help the curved movement of the walkway.
The Olympic Village is built on a long narrow plot of land that looks out over the big Lingotto railway yard as on a forgotten waterfront; on the other "shore" it faces the immense industrial complex of the ex-Fiat factory, the Lingotto, re-invented by Renzo Piano.

By joining the regenerated ex-MOI area of the city, which will host the Olympic Village, to the ex-Fiat Factory, the Lingotto, the bridge will reinforce this connection, as the footbridge enters the Lingotto itself and actually extends beyond the limits that were initially set.
The structural principle is like a bicycle wheel, where the arch is the rim, the stays are the spokes and the bridge structure is the pinion.
The arch is inclined towards the Lingotto in order to favour the geometry of the stays and is asymmetrical to help the curved movement of the walkway.
