Such as the surrounding buildings, the seat of the Foundation is designed by an archistar. In fact the Feltrinelli Foundation is an opera by the famous Swiss architecture studio Herzog & de Meuron Arkitekten which, in recent years has focused on the realization of venues such as the Tate Museum in London or the Allianz Arena Stadium in Munich.
The Feltrinelli Foundation is housed by a futuristic and striking building that, from February 2017, it will also host the new Microsoft Italy headquarter.
The Foundation includes a new Feltrinelli bookshop, a bar, a library, a conference room, a study and research center, and an exhibition space. The structure is also the new home of the valuable Feltrinelli archive, which includes 250,000 volumes.
