Centro Meridiana, Architectural ensemble in Lecco, Italy.

Centro Meridiana is a complex of three independent radial ten-story towers designed by Renzo Piano on a 53,000 m² site in Lecco. The towers rise around a circular piazza and have fully glazed facades of green pigmented glass covering over 8,000 m². A three-level rectangular podium houses a shopping gallery and hypermarket, with parking for over 2,000 cars underground.

The Centro Meridiana stands on the 53,000 m² area once occupied by the Acciaierie del Caleotto, a steelworks important to Lecco's economy. Its construction, designed by the Genoese architect Renzo Piano, was the main redevelopment project for this strategic zone next to the historic centre. The sources consulted do not give an opening year.

Five aluminium mobiles by Japanese sculptor Susumu Shingu, titled Dialogo con le nuvole (Dialogue with the Clouds), stand on top of the three towers. Each moves independently, so the group shows wind direction and strength above the piazza. The name of the work is the detail to look for when scanning the roofline.

The three ten-storey towers stand around a round piazza that serves as the hub of the centre, with the shopping gallery and hypermarket on a three-level rectangular platform. Parking for over 2,000 cars occupies the underground levels. The 32,000 m² planted urban park adjoins the complex.

Five aluminium mobiles by Japanese sculptor Susumu Shingu top the towers, titled Dialogo con le nuvole. Each moves independently to show wind direction, so the towers double as a weather indicator above the piazza.
