Mangiarotti's Precast Concrete Apartments

This document summarizes an apartment building designed by architect Angelo Mangiarotti in Monza, Italy in 1972. The building uses precast concrete sandwich panels as the primary structural element. These storey-height panels provide structure, insulation, and enclosure. The system allows for flexible interior layouts. Drawings show the building's plans, sections, and construction details of the precast concrete panels and their connection to the reinforced concrete roof slab.
