Fuksas turns a government HQ into a vertical object—an urban marker that tries to make bureaucracy look aerodynamic.
Skyscraper in Turin, Italy.
Featured in Massimiliano Fuksas's definitive monograph, Massimiliano Fuksas.
Visitor Guide
Don’t expect a cozy public interior: treat it as a skyline and base-condition study—how does a ‘public’ tower behave at ground level?
From a distance where the tower reads clean against the sky (a nearby open street alignment), late afternoon for softer facade reflections.
Government/office building: interior access is typically restricted; exterior and surrounding public realm are accessible.
Fuksas loves the tension between smooth surfaces and messy reality—look for where the idealized skin meets service zones and site constraints.

Design & Structure
Contemporary tower workflow: BIM coordination, facade rationalization, and performance modeling for daylight/energy; the ‘freeform’ impulses are typically brought back to repeatable facade modules.
Glass, metal, and high-performance facade systems; material strategy is about civic transparency (as an image) and environmental performance (as necessity).
High-rise structural core and lateral systems with potentially complex podium/tower interfaces; engineering must manage wind, stiffness, and service integration.
