arch.: Giovanni Michelucci;  Palazzina Reale di Santa Maria Novella railway station in Florence, Italy 1935

a modern, white marble palace built in a sleek Fascist-style, adjacent to the main Train Station at Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Built in to house the royal family on their visits to Florence; after recent refurbishment, the building since 2015 houses the Casa dell'Architettura di Firenze (Architecture Society of Florence).

arch.: Giovanni Michelucci, Monte dei Paschi di Siena, Colle Val d'Elsa (Siena) 1973-1983. It consists of a steel framework which cradles a number of Portacabin-like metal-clad boxes containing offices and public banking rooms. The most striking feature is that the building is raised above the ground on a red painted steel structure that shelters a Travertine paved public space at ground floor level which is further defined by several stone volumes that provide access up to the offices above. Michelucci envisaged this space as a market place, linking to the wider urban fabric by providing routes between nearby streets. Above the ground the movement of people on the stairs and walkways is intended to extend the visible activity in 3 dimensions, transforming the structure into a framework of inhabited space. The prioritisation of community benefit over the (arguably) best interests of his client to have an easily accessible banking hall is striking. The desire to create a piece of townscape rather than a mono-functional, private building is inspiring in our age of security and corporate control of the public realm.
