The Torre Velasca (Velasca Tower, in English) is a skyscraper built in the 1950s by the BBPR architectural partnership, in Milan, Italy.
The tower, approximately 100 metres tall, has a peculiar and characteristic mushroom-like shape. Its structure recalls the Lombard tradition, made of medieval fortresses and towers, each having a massive profile. In such fortresses, the lower parts were always narrower, while the higher parts propped up by wooden boards or stone beams.
As a consequence, the shape of this building is the result of a modern interpretation of the typical Italian medieval castle.

Photography Tips

In order to dramatize the sky and emphasize the building you can use a ND filter. Best to try when the clouds are running fast in the sky.
