Edificio Il Triangolo, Residential building in Le Fornaci district, Pistoia, Italy
Edificio Il Triangolo is a residential building in Le Fornaci characterized by a triangular footprint that shapes its entire design. Multiple residential units are integrated with shared spaces throughout, while a public area on the fifth floor opens toward views of the surrounding neighborhood.
Construction started in 1982 under architect Leonardo Savioli's direction, though he passed away during the project. His team completed the work by 1986 according to his original design principles.
The building reflects an experimental housing approach designed to foster community interactions through shared spaces and pathways. These communal areas encourage residents to encounter one another in ways typical residential blocks do not support.
The building sits on Via G. Gentile and is most easily accessed from street level. The public terrace on the fifth floor is accessible and provides clear views across the immediate surroundings.
The building deliberately breaks from typical residential blocks through its angular geometry and layered pathways. This unconventional layout creates unexpected patterns of movement and encounter within the structure.
