The main idea of the Generali Tower is to combine two elements, the horizontal circulation and the vertical circulation.We see the dinamic that happens inside and outside the building, how the people move in it. The dinamic we see in the building is very diversified.

In the horizontal circulation the building has diferrent level and in them are the entries to acces it, and the users may used them according hows it's convenient. In case of vehicle, have entries of easy access and with its parking. The public areas are spacious and decorated with some plants. The columns in this areas make the role of distributors and they allow to the users to move around the building without any difficulty. We can also find areas with specifics activities as the conference rooms, offices and other, and their location depend on the importance of them.

As for the vertical circulation the building has elevators and stairs that allows the people acces to the highest levels.

An important characteristic is the morphology of the building, which incorporates several energy saving devices, such as solar panels and windmills.



The façade of building is made of glass, a advantageous material because it permits us to see what we want from the interior of the building to ouside by the day and it has a great illumination that in the night it converts in a wonderful structure.
