Westfield Milan Shopping Centre

About this project

While acting as team leader for MPN UK, we delivered Stage 2–4 design of Westfield Milan — one of Europe’s largest commercial centres. 422,000 m² of built surface near Linate Airport, with analysis, design and detailing of 16 composite steel-concrete and precast structures on a ~60-acre plot.

Mild seismic area (zone 3). Units designed as Class 3 independent structures with seismic isolation joints. Stability via RC cores, moment frames and inverted V-bracing; gravity via steel columns and precast parking frames.
