Renovation of the Corriere della Sera newspaper Headquarters

This was a difficult and complex renovation project. It entailed finding a pertinent, all-embracing solution to the renovation requirements of a city centre block whose stratified development over the years had created an irregular ground plan comprising a series of heterogeneous units. The requirements were not just to restore
formal unity and identity to a cluster of buildings but to ensure their functional practicability and compatibility with stateof-the-art technology, making the complex compliant with current safety regulations
and appropriate for IT production techniques that have revolutionized the world of the printed press.

From the Jury:
The materials used are the key to the underlying theme of integration into the wider urban fabric and the creation of a uniform complex. The large aluminiumframed windows and the aluminium cladding with the antique effect presents an imposing appearance with a nod to the past.
