The new University of Como building, which accomodates both the teaching and the research activities of the Politecnico di Milano and of the Università degli Studi dell’Insubria. The goal of the design was that of creating a kind of space that would deeply unite the research and the educational moments, while using the relationships with the context of the building as clay to create a new territory based on the interaction between the activities of the city and of the building.
