Is there any additional information that you can share about the heating and cooling of the building....

looks great! it will be one great building

Not very original IMO.
I've seen a shape like that in NYT Building. :)

A skyscraper like this should have its skeletons made out of steel. But the tower is really going to have its skeleton made out of reinforced concrete.

Thank you so much for the post. It's really useful.

preparatory works (24h/24 :) ) for the (deep) foundations (there will be 5 floors underground, to not rise to the height of the mole antonelliana)

thanks to marmox

May I ask the mods why has this thread been moved in the "proposed" section? This building has been proposed and approved, calls for tenders have been made and construction's underway. If we'd love to be really pedantic, it wouldn't be "U/C" but rather "Prep".

the circular area will host the ramp which cars will use to reach the underground parking lot.

Our fellas went to the building sites, and posted on the Italian section some intriguing pictures, which are raising plenty of questions among us, let's see if anybody can give us a hand in understanding how they're planning to build this building.

As you might notice, they have been dismantling the cranes, and they're digging under the insole, while putting in place some pillars. Moreover, this steel pillar: what's its aim?

Then Cumino came today, and posted this (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=51188851&postcount=1044):

That's definitely the strangest construction site i've seen in a while.

good job, marmox

^^ Marmox? :cry:

Marmox and then... Cumino :D

Looks like they are first building the underground levels starting at level -1, before starting with the overground construction.

The Europapassage (shopping centre smack in the city centre of Hamburg (9 levels above, 7 levels below the ground) was built this way to reduce construction noise and dirt.

:shocked:the design is incredible!

Why thank you very much. I can tell you that it was a bitch to design though, so I sure hope it stands up as planned!

NOW IT'S OFFICIALLY U/C!! 5 underground floors are almost completed!

It reminds me a bit the NYT tower. Great shots!!

thanks for the updates

I had no idea this was almost topped out yet! Thanks for the updates.

It reminds me a bit the NYT tower. Great shots!!

IMO it really resembles the Heron Tower in London.

Foto di stamattina da piazza Statuto. Molto simili a quelle della scorsa settimana (cambia solo l'altezza del core lato corso Inghilterra), con la differenza che stavolta la torre era già illuminata dalla luce del sole :)

Non si vede molto da questa foto, ma il cartello "29" del piano è stato riposizionato, prima era stato posto più in alto (si vede la macchia scura della colla).

Description:

Torre Intesa SanPaolo in Turin, Italy is a skypescraper, currently under construction, that will serve as the headquarters for the banking group Intesa Sanpaolo.
The Intesa SanPaolo tower will provide office accommodation for more than 2000 employees as well as providing leisure facilities for the general public. At its summit, a rooftop greenhouse houses a public restaurant, alongside a roof garden and a panoramic terrace that provides far-reaching views over the city. At its base, a 364 seat multifunctional public hall/auditorium is hung from the transfer trusses four stories above ground level.
Renzo Piano, Torre Intesa SanPaolo's architect, described the skyscraper as "bioclimatic building", being naturally ventilated and cooled; with a substantial amount of its power requirement to be generated from photovoltaic panels that cover the southern façade.
The Intesa SanPaolo tower is being built by the Italian main contractor Rizzani de Eccher and Swiss Implenia on an area of about 160 x 45 m between corso Inghilterra, corso Vittorio Emanuele II, via Cavalli and the Nicola Grosa Park.
The project was first introduced to the municipality in November 2007. After controversies on its height and the impact on the skyline, construction eventually started in December 2008.

Update: few meters yet to reach the top for the core

Grattacielo con nuvolone... (31/03/2013)

update

Grazie AAndreAA per la risposta.

Visto che qui sembrano essersi quasi tutti impigriti, posto qualche foto di poco fa. Sul cladding non si può ancora dire molto perchè manca ancora il rivestimento esterno; quello che fa impressione, oltre alla "mole", è l'impressionante quantità di acciaio usata e l'effetto che fa vederla verniciata tutta di bianco. Ecco, non ho idea di come verrà alla fine ma mi sembra che un grattacielo bianco sia piuttosto inconsueto. Come scrissi tempo fa, non sappiamo se l'effetto sia stato voluto apposta oppure no... ma sembra davvero che ci sia una certa continuità con i pali bianchi del viale della Spina.

Amazing shots. The background with the mountains is stunning.

updates of few days ago

the other peaks: in the foreground the RAI (public TV network) skyscraper, just behind, partially hidden, the turin's province HQ; in the background the old Lancia skyscraper (now a mix of residential and offices) and the last one is the chimney of the new incinerator
