Skyscraper

The development of public and private housing, poised between tradition and modernity, is confirmed as the most explored area of contemporary architecture in these projects chosen by Floornature. It is an international overview, where innovative urban solutions join truly challenging projects, sometimes in inaccessible, exotic or fascinating places, where architecture is in constant relationship with the surrounding landscape and nature.
