The new Management Headquarters for Ferrari in Maranello, Italy by Massimiliano Fuksas is one part of a redevelopment project that also includes a paint technologies building by Marco Visconti. Close to this building and Renzo Piano's Wind Tunnel of 1998, the new office building attempts to bring nature into the employees' work lives. This is accomplished via a simple plan that creates generous courtyards full of bamboo and the use of water that further dematerializes the ephemeral building.
