In 1957 the Company “Guder Ambo‘ Loreto” commissioned to the architect Giulio Minoletti and the engineer Chiodi an office building in Piazza Loreto. 
The project was part of a group of works related to reconstruction of settled in Milan in Viale Monza, Via Padova and Piazzale Loreto. Its construction began in September 1959 and ended in 1963.

 

This building was later called the “Palazzo fuoco” because having been made with fully glazed walls and lighting option that could totally buy a multicolor staining by night.  

The building, which overlooks the Piazzale Loreto, is placed between two streets, Via Padova and Viale Monza; it forms the scenic backdrop for one of the more long rectilinear axes of Milan,

Corso Venezia and Corso Buenos Aires.

This crystal prism has a height varying from four to nine floors.  It constitutes a content of shops at first floors and offices on the upper ones. The semester was set to study, analyze and compare the different typologies of architectures in Milan during the 60’s years.

 

I choosed Palazzo Fuoco cause I was fascinated by the technical upgrades that the architect did in this case, like the ligh-system and facades.
