Franco di Capua has shared with us another of his amazing videos, Minimetró by Jean Nouvel.

In 2001, the Perugia Municipality decided to hand over to AJN the architectural design for the “MiniMetro” project. The project covers a length of 3 kilometres, including a 1.5 kilometre viaduct that connects the city outskirts with the town’s historical centre. The new line, its 7 stations and 2 end stations, Pian de Massiano and Pincetto, were inaugurated in January 2008. The project is inscribed in a complicated topography of hills that characterizes the land of Perugia. More info and pictures after the break.
