    Generali Tower Case Study

    Uploaded by

    Pradeep
    The Generali Tower is a 44-story, 170m tall office tower located in Milan, Italy designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. It has a curvilinear form defined by the perceived centripetal forces generated from the intersection of three city axes at its base, transferring this twisted form vertically through successively twisted floor plates. Its inclined perimeter columns follow the twisting geometry to maximize interior space while supporting the inclined curved facade.

    GENERALI TOWER

    CASE STUDY                - Pradeep


    GENERAL INFO

    • Architects: Zaha Hadid Architects


    • Area: 66785 m²
    • Height: 170m (44-storey)
    • Located above the new Tre Torri station
    on Line 5 of the city’s metro system,
    CityLife opens the 90-acre site to year-
    round public use for the first time;
    providing new civic spaces, public parks
    and residential areas, in addition to
    shopping districts and corporate offices.
    SITE PLAN
    • This study focuses on the Tower &
    Shopping complex alone.
    FORM &
    STRUCTURE

    • The curvilinear geometries of its podium


    defined by the perceived centripetal forces
    generated from the staggered intersection of
    these three city axes at the tower’s base.
    • His vortex of centripetal forces at ground
    level is transferred vertically through the
    tower by realigning successive rhomboid-
    shaped floor plates to twist the tower about
    its vertical axis. 
    • This helical twist reduces incrementally with
    the height of each floor above street level,
    giving all floors a fractionally different
    relationship to the floors above and below.
    FORM & STRUCTURE
    FORM &
    STRUCTURE

    • Inclined perimeter columns


    follow the twisting geometry of
    the tower to mirror the inclined
    alignment of its external façade
    units.
    • These perimeter columns also
    maximise usable office space
    within the tower’s coherent
    formal envelope.

    • Its double-façade of sun-deflecting
    louvers flanked by glazing provides
    extremely efficient environmental control
    for each floor and ensures excellent
    energy performance, contributing to
    Generali Tower’s LEED Platinum
    certification by the US Green Building
    Council.
