## Abstract

A building is provided, which includes a plurality of towers including a central tower and a plurality of peripheral towers, a plurality of connections and at least one intermediate body including a surface extension sufficient to contain at least one or more floors of the central tower and the floors of the peripheral towers at the same height.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A building comprising:
a plurality of towers including a central tower and a plurality of peripheral towers,
a plurality of connections, and
at least one intermediate body including a surface extension sufficient to contain at least one or more floors of said central tower and the floors of said peripheral towers at the same height,
said central tower being structurally connected to said peripheral towers by means of at least one of said connections and extends over the entire height of said building,
said peripheral towers being separated from each other, arranged around said central tower, thereby defining a plurality of trestle structures,
said trestle structures overlapping so that one of the trestle structures is above the other trestle structures,
said peripheral towers converging, extending in height, towards said central tower while maintaining the same plan surface for each floor,
said connections being substantially bracing channels between said central tower and said peripheral towers,
the central tower extending for the whole height of said building,
the peripheral towers forming, with the central tower, the plurality of trestle structures overlapping on opposing sides of the at least one intermediate body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, wherein said at least one intermediate body comprises at least two intermediate bodies having an upper intermediate body located on the top of said building and comprising a runway for aircraft.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, wherein said central tower is not inhabitable and said peripheral towers are inhabitable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, wherein said central tower comprises means of transport and power supply means, said means of transport being lifts and said power supply means being plants for the ventilation and conditioning of the peripheral towers.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, comprising a base arranged beneath said central tower and said peripheral towers, said base comprising an extension surface adapted to at least contain the plan sections at the same height of said central tower and said peripheral towers.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, wherein said base comprises a plurality of floors defining a car park.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1,
wherein said at least one intermediate body comprises at least two intermediate bodies having an upper intermediate body located on the top of said building and comprising a runway for aircraft,
wherein said central tower is not inhabitable and said peripheral towers are inhabitable,
wherein said central tower comprises means of transport and power supply means, said means of transport being lifts and said power supply means being plants for the ventilation and conditioning of the peripheral towers,
comprising a base arranged beneath said central tower and said peripheral towers, said base comprising an extension surface adapted to at least contain the plan sections at the same height of said central tower and said peripheral towers, wherein said base comprises a plurality of floors defining a car park.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The building according to claim 5, wherein the peripheral towers are arranged around the central tower to be equally spaced at the base with respect to the central tower itself.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The building according to claim 1, the connections between the central tower and the peripheral towers being tunnels to allow the passage therein of people and/or plants intended for the building.
