Being myself from Rome, I know that complex and have been several times there in the past, also in the late 90s knew a girl who lived there. That's a place you definitely don't want to roam alone in the night.

- stevenwoo 4y agoHow much bigger is this than the Haussmann style buildings in Paris and Barcelona?
- TacticalCoder 4y agoAbout twice as high but incredibly larger. Hausmannian buildings have at most six stories which, IMO, is already one or two too many. But really Hausmann's style is elaborated, not brutalist. Another complete afterthought is the gigantic shadow these monsters do cast. In some cities they brought entire neighbourhoods into shadow during the day. Such buildings are just sad and reflect the minds of their creators (and of those who rooted/root for them).
