The The Palace Maffezzoli (Italian: Palazzo Maffezzoli) is a palace in Via Anelli 15, Milano, Italy, designed by Guido Maffezzoli [1] adjacent to and in support of an existing masterpiece Palazzo Galmanini Portaluppi of 1953, and Palace Tre Torri of 1957, in the historic center of Milan inside the luxurious Quadronno District, which collects the open-air masterpieces of numerous archistars of the fifties.[2]
Description[change | change source]
The building, belonging to the rationalist movement, is linked to the idea of a forest in the city connected to the Vertical Forest of Via Crivelli, with a Canadian ivy that completely covers it.[3]
Style[change | change source]
The building is made of bricks and bush-hammered concrete, left exposed strongly influenced by the Rationalist Movement. It is in fact the parapets of the balconies that characterize the facades, through a skilful use of sandblasted bricks that draw geometries that are certainly functional, simple and precise, but not entirely alien to a certain taste for the reinterpretation of traditional elements such as ventilation grids, typical of Lombard farmhouses, to which many of Luigi Caccia Dominioni's contemporary linguistic choices for many Milanese condominiums also refer.[4] Particular attention is paid to the construction detail, so much so that critics consider the condominium of Maffezzoli and Pellegrini an "exercise of high design expertise and rare sensitivity".[5]
