Viva! Generale!
The “twisting” tower in Milano City Life, named today Generali Tower, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects powerfully soars above the city, being anew landmark with a futuristic mood.
An integral element of the CityLife redevelopment that has created a new civic, residential and business district near the center of Milan, Generali Tower is defined by its surrounding urban fabric to connect directly with the city. Generali Tower is within the CityLife masterplan that has redeveloped Milan’s abandoned trade fair grounds following the fair’s relocation to Rho Pero in 2005.
Located above the new Tre Torri station on Line 5 of the city’s metro system, CityLife opens the 90-acre site to year-round public use for the first time; providing new civic spaces, public parks and residential areas, in addition to shopping districts and corporate offices. CityLife will include 1,000 new homes, offices for more than 11,000 staff, the new 42-acre public park, piazzas and kindergarten.
CityLife will be the largest new civic space and public park created in the city since Parco Sempione opened 130 years ago.
