Studio Libeskind has revealed the design of three office towers for the city center of Rome, forming a new, urban district adjacent to the A.S. Roma Stadium.

- Sited at the heart of the planned tor Di Valle Business District, the trio of structures work in conversation with one another, as if cut from a single stone block. The volumes fit together like building blocks, forming a composition of elements that act both in tandem with one another and alone. arranged in a triangular formation upon a 3,000 square-meter public piazza, the towers — which vary in height up to 220 meters — are landscaped with lush vegetation and reflecting pools.

- The 287,000 square meter business park — developed by Eurnova SRL — is part of a larger master plan conceived by studio Libeskind and New York-based Meis Studio. The program includes the stadium, training facilities, low and high-rise office buildings, retail, dining, and cinemas, envisioned as a sustainable, urban district connected to the historic center of Rome. The three central towers will be linked to the A.S. Roma Arena by means of a retail boulevard that runs from the Tor Di Valle metro station to the stadium.

rather ugly.

Architecture as sculpture sometimes works for me. This is not one of those times. Should have just left the three pieces together and built a fatscraper.

I really hate this guy after his ridiculous public bickering with David Childs regarding 1 WTC. The worst of the starchitects with an arrogance and ego that would put the world's worst megalomaniacs to shame.

Sorry Rome, he's your problem now.

That's really bad, yuck.

It's made to look different for the sake of looking different.

Ugh, where's a barf image when you need one?
