为了吸引世界一流的大型会议和展览，米兰市开始了一项雄心勃勃的计划，计划建设一个耗资7亿美元的贸易展览综合体。梅西米亚诺·福克斯(Massiiano Fuksas)致力于将展览大厅、礼堂、会议室、餐厅和咖啡厅、会议厅以及菲埃拉行政机构的办公空间纳入设计之中。从最近重新开发的棕榈田中可以看出，菲埃拉占地210万平方英尺，绵延近一英里。休息后的更多细节。

In an effort to attract large-scale world-class conventions and exhibitions, the city of Milan embarked on an ambitious plan to build a $700 million trade show complex. Massimiliano Fuksas was engaged to bring to life a new design that would house exhibition halls, auditoriums, conference rooms, restaurants and cafes, meeting halls, and office spaces for the Fiera administration. What would emerge from the recently reclaimed brownfields was a Fiera that covers 2.1 million square feet and stretches nearly a mile. More details after the break.

梅西米亚诺从周围景观的内在元素中获得灵感。这一概念通过数字领域内的多次迭代而得到进一步完善，在保持原始雕塑素描/模型的连续性以及最终制作流质织物方面发挥了关键作用，这一框架贯穿菲埃拉的整个长度。

Massimiliano garnered inspiration from the intrinsic elements of the surrounding landscape. The concept was further refined through numerous iterations within the digital realm, which played a critical role in maintaining the continuity of the original sculptural sketch/model  – and in the eventual fabrication of the fluid fabric-like canopy that runs the entire length of the Fiera.

Fuksas处理了这8座独立建筑的广阔性，将它们向内朝向中央脊柱，上面覆盖着一个类似于中央街道的玻璃天篷。为了划分建筑物的各项功能，展览厅有面向天篷的橙色立面，露天走廊的餐厅和咖啡厅具有曲线立面和立柱，会议厅采用不锈钢覆层和人行道高度悬停，办公空间包含在沿人行道的玻璃盒内。

Fuksas dealt with the expansiveness of the 8 separate structures by orienting them inwards towards the central spine covered with a glass canopy that functions akin to that of a central street.  In order to demarcate the various functions of the buildings, the exhibition halls have orange facades facing towards the canopy, the restaurants and cafes that line the open air corridor feature curvilinear facades and stand on pillars, the meeting halls feature stainless steel cladding and hover at walkway height, and the office spaces are contained within glass boxes that line the walkway.

虽然天篷本身是独立的，但它漂浮在邻近直线建筑的部分屋顶上，并以抛物线涡旋的方式戏剧性地向下俯冲到地面，这违背了传统的典型概念。长度为4265英尺，平面部分使用菱形玻璃，而双弯曲部分利用三角形窗格有效地实现自由形状。结构由树状柱组成，圆型HSS(有两根内支可容纳屋面排水)是在场外预制而成的。

While the canopy itself is freestanding, it floats over portions of the roofs of the adjacent rectilinear buildings and dramatically swoops down to the ground level in parabolic vortex fashion, defying the traditional archetypal conception of a canopy. Running a length of 4265 feet, the flat portions utilize rhomboidal glazing panes, while the doubly curved sections utilize triangular panes to efficiently achieve the free-form shape. Structure consists of tree-like columns of circular profile HSS (with two inner branches accommodating roof drainage) that were prefabricated off site.

也许，综合建筑中最引人注目的一点就在服务中心，它是主入口大厅的所在地。视觉景观迎接行人，通过玻璃天篷，接触到等级，并立即拍摄121英尺的圆锥山-被称为标志(意大利语的象征)。

Perhaps one of the most dramatic points within the complex lies within the Service Center which houses the main entrance hall. Visual spectacle greets the pedestrian by means of the glazed canopy touching down to grade and immediately shooting up 121 feet into a conical mountain – referred to as the logo (Italian for symbol).

为期27个月的米兰交易会证明了意大利主办世界级文化活动的决心。虽然规模惊人，但它确实试图通过有盖的中央人行道，灌输传统意大利建筑环境的亲切感-它将菲涅拉(Fiera)更为行人友好的一面融入到一个易于体验和理解的尺度中。

Constructed over a period of 27 months, the Milan Trade Fair is testament to the Italians resolve to host world-class cultural events. While astonishingly epic in scale, it does attempt to instill the intimacy of traditional Italian built environments through the covered central walkway – which blends the much more pedestrian friendly aspects of the Fiera into a scale easily experienced and understood.
