For the Palazzo dei Congressi in Riccione, designed by Carlo Gandolfi, Bayards Aluminium Solutions supplied an eye-catching fire escape system. The stairs on the north and south side of the building descend like a waterfall of aluminium along the facades of the building, giving the building its iconic look. With these eight staircases, in which a total of more than 11 kilometres of aluminium has been processed, Bayards build won the prestigious European Aluminium Award in 2008.
