Tower in Milan Bovisa

research project

The first question I asked myself was: how can I see the tower in another way? A possible response was to think of it as a vertical city.
Thus, everything started.
I invented the measure that was the perimeter of my tower (13-39-117). Within it, I started to formalize an urban journey with a central traject.
This became the spinal dorsal on which became distributed horizontal connections with the sides of a diverse realty. These at the end became a living cells, a library, zones for expositions and theatre, offices, public zones, restaurants, pubs, etc.
How did I figure out the prospects? Like a study of fullness and emptiness of analyses no a city. Therefore filling at times the fullness and at other times the emptiness.
Further, throwing in light the scan of the attic and a matrix more sharp that creates various tonalities. The tower has the two side open, why? In order to capture the idea of a city which has a space of open air. In fact, what does not find itself within volumes is the open air.
Why this organic form in the middle of all these cubes? Because it sets apart as an noteworthy element at the end and in so far as the last element is a “urban design” that the tower is.
How is that the higher part of the tower is open to the sky? It tries to relate with the first two levels of the ground and the tower that are completely free, given the sole presence of seven walls.
To sum up: it has the sole presence of the mounts of the façade.
They give the sensation of limits maintaining an extreme permeability.
