XVIII. IOM

The IOM Building welcomes people from all over the world. Compactly situated within the Garden of Nations, it engages with its surroundings on all four sides through distinct contextual relationships. A transversal passage runs through the building, extending the continuity of public spaces and activating them with specific functions. The first floor unfolds across several levels, creating a sequence of transitional spaces between interior and exterior, between earth and sky. The synergies generated by encounters and exchanges are essential for fostering a high-quality working environment and nurturing the emergence of new ideas.

The new IOM headquarters establishes three levels of interaction with the community. a welcoming meeting place connected to the public realm and the outside world; office floors offering numerous collective spaces for informal collaboration among colleagues; and quiet zones dedicated to focused, individual work.
