Centro direzionale della Banca Popolare di Lodi

Centro direzionale della Banca Popolare di Lodi, Banking headquarters complex in Lodi, Italy.

The Centro direzionale della Banca Popolare di Lodi, also called Bipielle Center or Bipielle City, stands on via Polenghi Lombardo 13 near the railway station. Renzo Piano designed it on a former disused area; the main building has a facade over 250 metres wide in modular terracotta panels recalling local materials. A glass and steel-cable tensile roof links it to the circular auditorium of about 800 seats, with a moving fountain by Susumu Shingu at its centre.

The complex was designed by Renzo Piano and built on a disused area near Lodi's railway station, a short walk from the historic centre. It is the seat of the Banca Popolare di Lodi division of Banco BPM. Between 2005 and 2006 it hosted an exhibition with works by Titian, Guercino, Lorenzo Lotto, Giorgio de Chirico and Andy Warhol, and it has appeared in the film Benvenuti al Nord.

At the centre of the complex, between the main building and the circular auditorium, stands a fountain in perpetual motion by Japanese artist Susumu Shingu. The glass-and-steel cable structure covering the space was designed to shelter it. Between 2005 and 2006 the complex also hosted an exhibition with works by Titian, Guercino, Lorenzo Lotto, Giorgio de Chirico and Andy Warhol.

The complex sits near the railway station and city center, making it accessible by foot or public transport without difficulty. The public spaces within, including shops and cafes, are open during business hours and serve as a convenient passageway through the area.

The complex was used as a set for the film Benvenuti al Nord, and between 2005 and 2006 it hosted an exhibition with works by Titian, Guercino, Lorenzo Lotto, Giorgio de Chirico and Andy Warhol. It has also appeared in television commercials.
