This form, however, far from being independent of the structural solution, derives from it: from a parallelepiped base, two huge walls of reinforced concrete – connected to a powerful central core of building services – lean to form an acute angle with the vertical, with the result that the floor plan of the building is divided into two irregular triangles which are free of structural burdens and thus able to be organized flexibly. The tower’s top also slopes, crowning the building with crystalline and expressionist echoes.
