RCS HEADQUARTER – progetto della nuova sede della RCS Rizzoli, Milano, Italia

RCS, una delle maggiori case editrici italiane, sta per trasferire i suoi uffici in un’area a nord est di Milano, in cui sono già presenti alcuni uffici e le tipografie. E’ stato indetto un concorso, vinto da BOERI STUDIO, che include: sistemazione dell’area (90.000 mq), restauro di un’edificio esistente e costruzione di due nuovi edifici per uffici (chiamati edificio C ed edificio E). L’edificio C, che sta per essere costruito, si costituisce di 4 piani che includono una grande corte, inoltre una torre di 80 metri: L’intero sinuoso edificio alterna rivestimenti in vetro e intonaci plastici speciali. 1100 persone lavoreranno in open space, dove sistemi flessibili e partizioni mobili definiranno i luoghi di lavoro.

A major italian publishing company, RCS, is going to concentrate all of its offices in an area north-east of Milan, which already accomodates RCS printing plants and some offices. A competition was issued, which Boeri Studio won, including: general planning of the area (90.000 mq), restoration of an existing building, and construction of two new office buildings (named C building and E building). C building, which is now about to be constructed, is constituted by a 4 storey-high construction which encloses a huge court, then rising to a 80 metres high tower: the whole 22.000 sm snake-like building alternates wood cladding and wide glazed portions. 1100 people are going to work in its open-space floors, in which a flexible system of movable partitions will define the working stations. The tower is going to be one of the hihest in Milan: it will dramatically change the skyline of the area, becoming a landmark. Access form the road to the 6.500 sm courtyard is provided whether by a pedestrian stairway or a steep. The parking is accomodated in the courtyard. In opposition to the usual practice, in which the car parks mobility is car-oriented, in this project the parking area is basically a pedestrian plateau with “bubbles” for the cars.
