Viale della Pittura, 50 – 00144 Roma

Italy
The Roman neighborhood of EUR contains the most iconic examples of Rationalism, an architectural current which reached its height in the 1920s-1930s.
Since its establishment, EUR has accommodated the most significant events in Rome and it should be no surprise that the visionary architectural complex designed by Massimiliano Fuksas has risen in this very district.
La Nuvola and Palazzo dei Congressi are both managed by Roma Convention Center and they symbolize the dual soul of EUR: tradition and innovation.
La Nuvola’s design concept is defined by three elements: the ”Theca”, the “Cloud” and the “Blade” of the hotel. The Theca is a steel and glass display-case (70 x 40 x 175 meters) characterized by a rigorous geometrical shape where the fiberglass structure of the Cloud float with its translucent curves, like an enormous, weightless sculpture.
The Blade is an impressive jet-black prism which runs along the south side of the Theca and contains a 4 star hotel, the logistical counterpart for the events and conventions hosted in the Cloud.
