Libeskind Tower, Deconstructivist skyscraper in CityLife district, Milan, Italy
Libeskind Tower is a skyscraper in Milan's CityLife district that rises 175 meters across 28 floors, featuring a curved facade that slopes inward toward neighboring buildings. This deconstructivist form creates a distinctive silhouette within the development.
Construction began in 2015 with the foundations, reached ground level in early 2017, and topped out in April 2020; the tower was handed over in October 2020. It was built as part of CityLife, the redevelopment of the historic Fiera Campionaria di Milano, and was designed by Daniel Libeskind.
The tower's nickname, Il Curvo ("The Curved One"), comes from its concave elevation, which leans toward the Isozaki and Hadid towers and Piazza Tre Torri. Its design reinterprets the Renaissance cupola, and the 40-metre crown above the offices is open to the public as a viewing platform and art gallery.
The tower is reached from Piazza Tre Torri via the M5 lilac line stop of the same name, opened 14 November 2015, and a two-level lobby links it to the shopping gallery through covered paths. Its 40-metre crown holds a viewing platform and art gallery open to the general public, so visitors can go up rather than only look from outside.
The 40-metre crown at the top is not only a plant room: it doubles as a viewing platform and an art gallery open to the general public. The white "pwc" sign sits on the unfinished dark steel framework above the glass facade.
