Planetario Hoepli

Donated to the city by the publisher Ulrico Hoepli, Milan’s Planetarium was designed as a civic institution set within the public gardens. Portaluppi gave the building a solemn, symmetrical composition crowned by the dome of the main hall. The interior was planned around clear circulation and a strong central space dedicated to astronomical shows. Its park setting and public function make it one of his most accessible works in the city.
