Milan, Italy
Maria Claudia Clemente and Francesco Isidori of Rome-based Labics have designed a new A 6,300 -square meter colossus that could be destined as Milan’s next skyscraper.
Torre Womb (acronym that stands for Wellness Over Milan Bureaus is the name of the new Reale Immobili office skyscraper, which will rise in Milan to take the place of an eight-story building, dating back to the 1950s, between via Massimo D’Azeglio and via Tito Speri, in the business district of Zona Garibaldi.
Won in a recent design competition launched by Reale Mutua, the project for the moment is only a concept; but, when built, it would dramatically add a vibrant new urban space in the Garibaldi area.
Torre Womb, according to the project of the architecture studio will be a pyramidal tower in concrete and glass. A tower that vaguely recalls The Shard, “the splinter” Renzo Piano’s skyscraper built in London.
The ground floor is characterized by a green oasis while an internal part of the building will be characterized by a “vertical forest” that almost reaches the highest spire of the structure.
On the whole structure, however, there are terraces, loggias, and spaces for working outdoors.
