Mario Negri Research
Institute- Urban design plan, Milan 1985
The
plan, approved and adopted by the City of Milan, resolved the
need for the enlargement of the Institute's research
activities with a rational design of the new volumes and free
spaces, assigned to green areas and underground parking. The
planimetric configuration of the new buildings, with the
functions of laboratories, research and services, tends to
conserve the character of the existing ones, articulating
itself over the area to define squares, functional spaces and
vehicular circulation. Low and high volumes are alternated in
order to balance the relationship with the existing buildings
and the best sun exposure.
