A great design - but what will it be used for?

Is it a convention centre?

Yep, inside the cloud, there is a conference room. In addition there are commercial spaces and a hotel

Mixed feelings. I like the idea, but I don't like too much to cover it with that glassy box

The theca is a protected area that contains the cloud, the central organization characterizing the project, where space is an auditorium of 1850 seats in an enclosed area float "from a membrane fiber glass and waterproof .

The shrine consists of large frame to put a distance between 33.00 ml'uno other, having a light-span of 66.00 me 39 m in height, each of which consists of two columns of type Vierendeel beam and a mesh (for chassis internal) or Type Vierendeel (for external frame).
The frames are linked, on-axis longitudinal external beams from Vierendeel type.
The beams of the frames provide support for the secondary beams and purlins of different orders, necessary to support the fields of the cover glass and the glass ceiling of intrados.
The structure are hung longitudinal sides, internal and external, and cross.
The longitudinal external facade will consist of a system of independent cells, and in laminated glass transparent, form 1650 x 4190 mm, made of aluminum profiles with the bronze color. The glass panels will be drilled for 30% of the area, so as to ensure the ventilation needed for the stairs safely.
The facade is a longitudinal internal glazing continues comprising uprights and cross retractable aluminum bronze color. The glass panels are made of double glass with air space interposed Form 1100 x 2095 mm.

The external windows are independent of the internal ones between the two there are the steps of the stairs and lifts for integration of the plans and escape routes from the "cloud". The space that is created is not only an area of service, but it is an area of 'great interest in which one can walk and move.

Well in that case, it's probably the best convention centre I've ever seen

This is a challenging key project for the contemporary Rome (Yes, there's a contemporary Rome and of some quality) and the future of the Eur complex.

Bravo Maxximus.

Looks like its the extraterrestrial blob in Aliens IV - The Prequel, or some other sci-fi extraterrestrials hocus pocus.

Doesnt look like a space or energy-efficient building.

The cloud thing is such an interesting idea. Oh and thanks Maxximus for posting all these projects in Italy, congrats
