ARCHITECT(URAL OFFICE):
Dante Benini

BUILDING TYPE:
Office buildings

With its exquisitely detailed, decorative, prefabricated brick facades this building is the exception in an office area dominated by scaleless glass towers. The Italian architect Benini has worked into this building the influence both of Berlage and Benini's mentor Carlo Scarpa. Offices with an open, staggered front and laboratories at the more introverted facades are ranged, each in their own wing, along an arcade-like interior space capped by a glass barrel vault.
