Description on this project

The Unicredit headquarter is a complex of three towers, comprising the largest components of Porta Nuova Garibaldi, a seven-hectare, mixed-use development north of Milan’s city center. Also, they redevelop the abandoned railyards adjacent to Stazione Garibaldi, forming a new gateway to the city. Spiraling upward, the asymmetrical main tower culminates in a sculptural, stainless steel spire. Like the two smaller towers, the building is clad in reflective glass. Their narrow, curved forms enclose Piazza Gae Aulenti, a new public space. Facing the piazza, the facades incorporate sunshades, emphasizing the buildings’ fluid shape.
