Housing Complex at the Gallaratese Quarter

Outline
The geometry that Rossi developed in his travels between the city and architecture is used to carve out a long, narrow, white mass measuring 182 x 12 meters. The lower floor is a colonnade of thin wall columns, while the central section, which bisects the entire building, uses four thick columns to accentuate the repetition.
