Universita Luigi Bocconi in Milan, Italy is another design by McNamara’s Grafton Architects. The private university specializes in economics, management, law, and business. The university is built on a scale of 80mX160m. A large hall that runs the center of the building is open to the public and was intended to be thought of as a place of exchange. The site’s northern edge faces ‘Viale Bligny,’ one of Milan’s bustling streets that is full of traffic and trams. The research offices were intended to be thought of as ‘beams of space,’ and are suspended above the ground-level hall. The Aula Magna (the university’s large, underground lecture hall) is so large that its external wall runs the length of the full building. The highest upper level offices serve as its roof.
