Generali Tower

This guide to Generali Tower in Milan explains the trick behind its nickname, lo storto: every floor plate is rotated slightly further than the one below it, keeping the steel core vertical while the skin spirals around it. It follows architect Zaha Hadid, who spent decades fighting to get her curving designs built at all, through her sudden death in March 2016, while the tower was still a skeleton of concrete and cranes, and on to how her studio finished the project without her. Look up and follow that twist with your eyes as Generali's staff, who moved their headquarters in during 2018, do every morning.
