He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Needle Towers and in China by Gianluca Milesi ArchitectureMarch 7th, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Gianluca Milesi Architecture This is a project for a vertical-horizontal architectural and urban system designed for a location on a lake in China. We wanted to sign the territory with a strong structure in terms of importance and to sign it with a landmark. This systems is a real urban macrostructure because its big dimensions, the impact on the territory and the life in the area and because of the complexity of its own nature.

Despite of the dimensions, the macrostructure is anyway and always thought to be a light texture connecting in an organic and natural way itself with the environment.

The lightness of the structure is also underlined by the thinness of the vertical element-tower, a sophisticated symbolic sign, defining itself in the sky through a gentle but firm aspect.

Glass and aluminium are used for the vertical and horizontal closures, coatings and finishes, while steel is used to the structural parts of construction.
