Mondadori headquarters, Modern office building in Segrate, Italy
The Mondadori headquarters extends over a reflecting pool of 20,000 square meters, featuring a suspended rectangular structure measuring 200 meters in length.
Giorgio Mondadori commissioned Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer to design the headquarters in 1968 after seeing his work on the Foreign Ministry in Brasilia.
The building represents a milestone in Italian architecture, combining structural innovation with functional office spaces through reinforced concrete and glass elements.
The five-floor building contains open workspaces with color-coded areas, a dining room, and retail spaces for employee services near Linate Airport.
The structure incorporates uneven arch curvatures along its facades, creating different lighting patterns throughout the building's north-south orientation.

Oscar Niemeyer shaped Brazilian modernism with his concrete constructions featuring bold geometric forms. In Brasília, the capital he helped design, the Cathedral stands out with its sixteen columns rising 40 meters (131 feet) high, while the National Congress combines two 28-story towers with opposing domes, one facing upwards for the House of Representatives, the other downwards for the Senate. The Niterói Contemporary Art Museum, with its circular shape resting on a central support, overlooks the bay of Rio de Janeiro. His work extends beyond Brazil. In Paris, the headquarters of the French Communist Party reflects his architectural vision, as does the Asturian Cultural Center in Spain. These international projects extend the architect’s influence beyond his homeland. In São Paulo, the Copan Building showcases its curved S-shaped facade stretching 115 meters (377 feet), containing 1,160 apartments across 32 floors. These works embody a modernist approach favoring concrete structures, geometric volumes, and natural light integration.
