Isozaki Tower

The modular structure was inspired by the famous Endless  Column by Romanian artist Constantin Brâncuși, who aimed to recreate an upward     thrust towards infinity—an eternal, ideal tension towards an unreachable elsewhere.  Each module consists of six rectangular floors, designed as open-plan spaces entirely illuminated by natural light. One of the building’s most distinctive features is its four gold-coloured braces, measuring 40 to 60 metres - two per side - which, besides being an   aesthetic design element, play a crucial role in dissipating the wind-induced energy  affecting the skyscraper. This ensures optimal living and working comfort, even on the  upper floors, which are more susceptible to oscillations. For installation, a sophisticated launching system was used, positioning  each structural element vertically in its final location. Fourteen elevators are located at the sides of the tower: seven high-rise lifts go  directly to the upper floors, while the other seven low-rise lifts serve the lower levels. On 22 November 2015, following Milanese tradition, a replica of the Madonnina was placed at the top of the tower, which had by then become  the highest rooftop in the city.
