Visibility, accessibility, creation of functions open to the public. The objectives of this project are, first of all, of a strategic character with respect to a new identity Milan is preparing to assume, also through the renewal of fragments of history like this one. The intervention focuses on enhancement and reinforcement of the monumental character, in the spirit of spectacularization of the urban landscape, an inevitable passage for the creation of new appeal for the city. The project, besides making optimal use of internal and external spaces, calls for the creation of a new skyline for the entire complex; the rich volumetric articulation of the historic building and its forceful spatial configuration form the starting point for the idea of an architectural project that would make both the real volume and the virtual volume visible and tangible. A clean, simple, autonomous project, but also one capable of establishing a dialogue with and emphasizing the architectural lines and principles of the existing historic building. Through the geometric precision of the added profiles and the steel web that covers it, the new volume of the project is defined in a clear, contemporary manner, becoming a suspended, light, technological element over the original eaves of the building.
