Text description provided by the architects. Adriano Olivetti square, at the heart of the new business hub Symbiosis, has opened for the public, shortly ahead of the 21,500 sqm office headquarters occupied by Italian telecommunications company Fastweb reaching completion. The public square is dedicated to Italian industrialist and engineer Adriano Olivetti who advocated for the reinvestment of profit for the benefit of the community–an idea that echoes the masterplan’s aim of revitalizing a former industrial area of Milan. With Carlo Masera’s landscape design for the square and the first building’s glass facade, Italian architecture firm ACPV inserts a radiant addition to the chain of south Milan’s extensive urban transformations alongside Fondazione Prada and Università Bocconi’s new campus.
