The distinctive feature of the design approach was its ability to blend together total continuity, high efficiency and the possibility of modular growth, in a spatial context that becomes communicative in an absolute, almost philosophical sense.

The project aims to harmonise the technological design, which places the main focus on redundancy and the ability to react automatically to a fault, with the ability to transfer into the spaces, reinterpreting them, the IT infrastructure needs and the communication of the company’s very identity itself. In doing so it blends a humanistic vision (linked to man, his relationship with machines and the desire to communicate that importance that every company attaches to its data assets) with the vision of Novartis, which has in its DNA the centrality not only of man but also of knowledge, innovation and research.
