CityLifeMilan, Italy
The CityLife project is located in the heart of Milan, spanning
106 acres on the old fairgrounds of this historic city. The scheme
of CityLife incorporates residential and office development,
retail space and a museum all built around a central park, a
much needed open space within the city. In 2004 Studio Daniel
Libeskind along with Zaha Hadid Architects, and Arata Isozaki
& Associates won the commission for the development of the
site. In addition to leading the master plan, SDL is designing the
central office tower, a residential tower, and two housing parcels
- the first one, RB1, has just been completed.
The project is large, in both scope and area, and will ultimately
create a new neighborhood in the cultural and historical context
of Milan. The challenge posed by the Fiera site, which is central
and critical to the development of Milan, is that it should not be
viewed as merely a building development, but something more
all together.
Milan is a cultural center for Italy, exhibiting the best of what
the country has to offer. It is a place that holds the dreams,
aspirations and pride of all the Milanesi. It is in this way that the
site must be representative of the greatness of Italian design,
furniture, fashion technology and deserves nothing less than a
visionary, yet practical, urban scheme.
