Pirelli Tower is a 32-storey, 127 m skyscraper in Milan, Italy. The base of the building is 1,900 m2 , with a length of 75.5 m and a width of 20.5 m . The construction used approximately 30,000 m3 of concrete. The building weighs close to 70,000 t with a volume of 125,324 m3 .
Characterized by a structural skeleton, curtain wall façades and tapered sides, it was among the first skyscrapers to abandon the customary block form. After its completion it was the tallest building in Italy but in 1961 Mole Antonelliana recovered priority after rebuilding of its pinnacle. The architectural historian Hasan-Uddin Khan praised it as "one of the most elegant tall buildings in the world" and as one of the "few tall European buildings [that made] statements that added to the vocabulary of the skyscraper".
