Palazzo Uffici INPDAP, Lucca

Palazzo Uffici INPDAP was built in 1960 by architect Paolo Portoghesi. It is located outside the city walls characterized by the expansion of the sixties. The main entrance of the office building of Lucca is located on the north side and leads to a spacious hall. The upper floors are made of masonry brick which correspond to the city’s walls. The roof represents the traditional Tuscan roof. The use of different materials makes the different components of the building dynamically connected. In formal terms, the home of Lucca is a preview of the expressive style acquired later in the design of the famous Casa Baldi built in 1960 in Rome.
