Description
This image shows the site on which the new EUR Congress Center (designed by Massimiliano Fuksas) will be located. The building is a large, 30-meter-high, translucent container that extends lengthwise, which Massimiliano Fuksas designs for "a building that had no crystallized form at all". The EUR district (Esposizione Universale di Roma) was built by Mussolini for the 1942 World's Fair, which was never held. Architect Marcello Piacentini conducted the arrangement of the EUR (1938-1942).
