CONGRESS CENTRE, ROMA-EUR, ROME, 1999-2009
This building, designed by Massimiliano Fuksas, appears as a large, 30 m. tall, translucent container with a lengthwise development. Two squares, which open onto the district and the city respectively, are to be found on the transverse sides:the first is connected directly to the district and goes fromViale Europa to Viale Shakespeare, the second, a space that can be composed freely using movable structures, is for receiving congress members and conveying them to the various areas in the centre. When the cloud, supported by a thick framework of steel ribs and suspended between the floor and the ceiling of the large congress hall, is illuminated, from a distance the building will look as if it is vibrating.
