Piscina coperta

Sport & Leisure · by Arrigo Arrighetti · 1963

via Montevideo 20, Milano, Italy

Conceived as a neighborhood facility for leisure and free time, the covered pool prioritizes comfort, daylight, and structural efficiency over purely competitive goals. Its signature saddle-shaped roof is generated by steel cables and shaped elements, producing a hyperbolic-paraboloid geometry. Large inclined concrete arches carry the loads and eliminate intermediate supports, leaving the interior open and flexible. The building accommodates a 25-metre pool and is designed to welcome everyday users rather than only sporting events.
