The building is the third tallest in the city, after the landmark Mole Antonelliana which has held the record since 1889, and Piedmont Region Headquarters.
Renzo Piano, Grattacielo Intesa Sanpaolo's architect, described the skyscraper as "bioclimatic building", being naturally ventilated and cooled; with a substantial amount of its power requirement to be generated from photovoltaic panels that cover the southern façade. It was awarded the LEED Platinum rating, making it the only high-rise building in Europe to hold such a certification.
Grattacielo Intesa Sanpaolo, some consider it as a sore in the eye, some consider it as symbol of modernization of the city....

It's quite impressive.
That spammer has been writing the exact same off topic comment into multiple posts today. In an ideal world he'd come down with a nice nasty case of Ebola.
Awesome building! Have a nice weekend
