If there are the most famous Economic Newspapers in milan, It may
be IL SOLE 24 ORE. This land was originally the old factory buildings. A few
years ago, After IL SOLE 24 ORE had purchased this site, they hired architect
Renzo Piano for a new renovation. The construction had started in 1998, and
completed in autumn 2004.
This new building had reserved the existing structures
and masterplan but expanded the newspapers's roles. In addition to them, It has
many cultural points that are , for example, library, auditorium, interior
gardens. All these new parts of this building were planned in the artificial
islands being in the center void space of the building.
Even though one span of
the building is 160m, the building is very light and fresh for its transparent
facades using glass and the changes connecting left and right sides of the small
gardens that divide the building's mass and prepare for the outside's 6
elevators.
