In order to be able to house all the organizations and people involved in FOQUS, the capacious building found in Via Portacarrese, had to be notably remodeled and restored to meet the structural requirements. To achieve that, several architects and artisans of Quartieri Spagnoli have worked on the project, turning the convent into a modern building with an open patio.
