Generali Tower, Modern skyscraper in CityLife district, Milan, Italy
Generali Tower is a modern skyscraper in Milan's CityLife district, distinguished by a twisted structure that changes its dimensions and orientation as it rises. The building spans 44 floors and shapes the skyline of what was once an industrial site.
Construction began in 2014 as part of transforming Milan's former trade fair grounds into the contemporary CityLife development project. This shift marked a turning point in the city's urban renewal.
The building expresses a fresh approach to office design through its flowing curves and shifting proportions that suggest organic forms. This design language fascinates visitors accustomed to the architecture of surrounding structures.
The tower connects directly to Tre Torri station on Milan's metro line 5, making access to the city's public transportation convenient. Located in the CityLife district, visitors will find cafés, shops, and other attractions nearby.
The building's foundation includes 64 piles and a 2.5-meter-thick concrete base raft to support its complex geometric form. This technical foundation enables the unusual twist that defines the structure.
