Fuksas presents 'Cloud' building

(ANSA) - Rome, October 25 - Italian starchitect Massimiliano Fukas on Tuesday presented his long-awaited 'Nuvola' (Cloud) building in the southern Fascist-era EUR district of Rome.
    Speaking at the foreign press club, Fuksas said the futuristic project has taken 18 years - "far too long".
    He said that for this reason it would be his last project in Rome.
    "The only thing that got me through was my Roman determination", he said.
    Fuksas said it was "essential to fill the space with art, concerts, and events".
    The Nuvola ended up costing 239 million euros against an higher tender estimate, 275 million, Fuksas said.
    The architect said he did not know whether he would be present at the building's inauguration on Saturday.
