Hi,
For the first time in 2758 years a building got approved in Rome that can claim to be a real skyscraper taller than 100 meters ! :laugh: Would anyone of the great illustrators be willing to draw this historical building, that would be great. I would do it myself but I think I need a lot more practice before I get a decent result :rolleyes: .
Here is the information and the initial renderings of the building that were released last week. It is part of the EUROPARCO-businesspark and construction will begin in november 2005 with a big shoppingmall.The construction of the tower will start in the 2006 and will be finished within a 2 year-timeperiod. Next to it will be another skyscraper but no data has been released on that building for the moment.

Interesting Facts/Records: The first modern building in Rome to break the 100 meter barrier. Just 7 meters shorter than the famous Pirelli-skyscraper in Milan. Facade in travertine, the classical roman stone used in many famous roman landmarks such as the Colosseum... . It will be a mixed use building : residential and offices ( Department of Health...). The luxury appartments will have "loggia's" and a magnificent view over Rome and the artificial lake of Eur. The building will have three sky-bridges with so-called "hanging gardens", these are not visble on the first renderings. Inside, the building will have the lastest technology for waste-managment and energy-saving. At the base will be a great plaza, bigger than Piazza Navona with artworks.... .
