Designed by Gio Ponti in 1935 – in collaboration with engineer Zadra – the School of Mathematics is considered a true work of art, despite the alterations over time. The project is articulated in an original sequence of volumes, originally well distinct in both form and function, and is characterized by a skillful use of coverings, as well as spatial continuity, resolved through triple height variations and decorations.
