History

The building, which is the first to be designed by Herzog & de Meuron in Italy, was inaugurated in 2016. [1] It was developed by Italian real estate company COIMA which was chosen by Feltrinelli Group as manager for a purpose made fund. [2] The project aimed to revitalize a historically underused area along Viale Pasubio turning the side into a cultural and civic hub. The complex houses the Feltrinelli Foundation, a public library, and offices housing Microsoft Italy's headquarters. [1]

Description

The complex comprises two adjecient buildings whose architectural design is defined by a roughly 200-metre long, narrow volume, with a distinctive repetitive pitched roof structure and fully glazed façades. [3]
