Subsidized housing tall buildings,
Nuovo Portello
Italy, Milan – 2002
|
|
The two tall buildings, one adjoining via Traiano and the other on a setback
give form together to a new square which is the starting point of the path
toward the park and the front of the Milano Fair, framed by the long perspective.
The windows of different form and proportion, the different rolling and
sliding shutter devices, the deep loggias with the steel and glass parapets
are disposed following a series of permutations which maximizes the long
views toward the city.
The use of surface material (decolored terracotta
tiles and white stone) and the gable silhouette constitute a critical reading
of the features of post-war Milanese architecture.
