A new skyscraper has been approved in Rome. It's a residential tower designed by Jean Marc Schivo. It will be a bio-climatic building, fully respecting sustainability standards (photovoltaic cells, rainwater recovery, natural ventilation, microclimate regulation, double walls, wide terraces, greenhouse on the top...). This reduces with 70% the environmental pollution compared to a traditional building of the same volume.

It will become a great landmark for the people arriving in Rome from the Leonardo Da Vinci airport.

Very nice, i like it.
one of the best new buildings in Italy

how much will be high?

drop the helipad and it will look much better

looks great||||

That helipad on the top and crown are atrocious. Commuting by helicopter is not exactly "green".

Does anybody know the height???

This looks great I thought it was being built in the center of the city for a second before it said it would be near the airport.

nice tower, looks good

Does anybody know the height???

The tower would be 130m!:)

there are other 5 towers that will be realized in Roma for the next years, from 100 till 160 m. But most of all, should be residential towers as this one.

Fantastic, great for the skyline in rome, great for the enviorenment and great for the design!!!!....
:cheers:

i like the helipad....:lol:

Looks like a very nice tower. But, the helipad on top makes it look funny. They should get rid of that. Otherwise I love the design.

Rome city center can't be touched!:)

I don't like the mix of claddings they will use because it looks messy,however,the green balconies are nice and it will add some character to the building.Is this close to E.U.R.?

Nice tower, good design, especially like the gardens in that project

Well i use to like most of the tower but but that helipad....Nice project BTW :D

Great to see some 'talls' going up in Rome. I have to agree with most other posts, helipad needs to go. Looks dated compared to the rest of the tower.

looks like something from transport tycoon or sim city. Not a bad design... just looks a bit messy towards the top. Nothing wrong with the helipad in my opinion, just the bit in between that and the rest of it.

Looks very nice

I like it. It wears it's functionality (the green features - photo-voltaic panels, green balconies, etc.) on it's sleeve, so it a way, it's like a structurally expressive tower (re: John Hancock) that instead of expressing it's structure expresses it's environmental friendliness.

And for some reason, the helipad doesn't bother me. Perhaps that's because I'm from L.A., where every building is required to have one, so I guess I'm used to them.

This looks great I thought it was being built in the center of the city for a second before it said it would be near the airport.

In the centre of the city? It's impossible! :)

I think that leaves Athens as the only city not on the high-rise bandwagon.

^^
That's not the only skyscraper forecasted for Rome (and I know even Athens got projects of skyscrapers)

I LOVE IT :banana:

looks pretty weird, but i think i like it :happy:

I love this project :)

I love this and think it looks amazing! Are there any other skyscrapers planned in Rome?

I meant the Euro parco!

Thanks! I like the Muratella Tower, Inail Tower & the green project looks promising.

there is also another project, talking about highrises, that I've not already posted of another scraper of about 150m! :)

Strange design...
:sly:

yes yes we all love it..but there still reamins a question...!! are they gonna put the plants too ..?? or they will forget about that small.... detail...or the company who will rent might just decide that it doesn't need them...!!!..so the tower will lose the green specification from it's name...@_@

A great tower but not for Rome i think, when i hear Rome i think about the old architecture.

nice design

Very nice end they will start begin this year and completion is expected around 2010

Photovoltaic cells will produce energy for the tower. There will also be rainwater recovery, natural ventilation, microclimate regulation, double walls, wide terraces. All this gives a 70% reduction in environmental pollution compared to a traditional building of the same volume.

It looks nice!

:)

Looks good, I am not so sure about the helipad though...

Agreed.. btw the helipad might be a pure speculation which is likely to fall in the final version since a residential tower has no real need of such structure.

nice tower, looks good. and i agree with the people who says the tower look better without the heliport

News ? Update ?

Looks canceled it had to be underway in 2010.
