Inside the clean rooms of Thales Alenia Space, in each branch of the company: Milan, Turin, L'Aquila, and Rome, each object with its electronic equipment is displayed in an endless carousel of “forms” that are very seductive to the eye. The trapezoidal Globastar2 satellite, or the circle of the fourth generation ATV module strike the imagination and the sensitive eye in the same way as projects of elite design, such as those of Nizzoli or Sottsass for Olivetti typewriters, or Zanuso and Sapper for the Brionvega Radio. And moreover, the architecture of Le Corbusier, so monumental in its geometries, could dialogue with the monumental Alphasat.
