The project for this 50-storey office block sought to favour the
possibility of a panoramic view over the city, so that there is an
evident predominance of glass on the façade while nevertheless avoiding
the formulaic glass tower of arbitrary forms. The existence of the
American tradition of skyscraper construction, with some especially
attractive examples in Chicago, suggested the need to reestablish a
dialogue between the classicism of stone and the high-tech of glass. The
façade reveals a design of classical proportions which recalls Giotto’s
campanile in Florence cathedral, divided into different levels linked
together by columns. Particular attention has been devoted to the
detailing and the appearance of the ground floor, the interior of which
functions as an atrium, while the upper floors form a
classically-proportioned temple on the roof. The building as a whole expresses the desire to inscribe itself in the existing urban context
and makes its own distinctive contribution to the Chicago skyline.Program: luxury offices, meeting rooms, restaurant, health club.
