CityLife is a residential, commercial and business district under construction not far from the old city centre of Milan, involving an area of 36.6 ha. The project is designed by the famous architects Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind.
The geometry of the building is that of a warping shape, where both the floors dimension and their orientation vary along the tower axis.
Due to the specific form-dependent deformation effects, a highly sophisticated stage analysis both for construction and long term effects has been effected. A steel, free form podium for commercial use surrounds the base of the building.
