The (whatever) stands/rises/was built in downtown Milan and reproduces the elliptical structural symmetry of the nearby Arena Civica and Parco Sempione.

Non conosco bene Milano e quindi potrei sbagliare quella simmetria, ma cosi' risolverei i problemi strutturali di questa frase.

Explanation:
close to/next to/by the Arena Civica and on the edge(s) of the Parco Sempione reproducing their elliptic architectonic(al) symmetry
difficult to use "whose" because of "on the edges"
didn't translate arena and parco guess you can do it
hope it helps

architectonics' elliptic symmetry


Explanation:
i onkly found architectonics as a noun on grandictionnaire, so if you don't want to take a risk don't use architectonic(al), that's what it should be but one never knows

The Art Nouveau Acquarium ....


Explanation:
and Civic Hydrobiology Station is built in the centre of Milan, side by side with the Civic Arena, and set on the outskirts of the Sempione Park, mirroring its ellipitcal symmetry...

I'm going to stick my neck right out here and say "forget" architettonica - it's redundant (not to say dubious as I can't figure out how a park can be architectonic?). Always open to correction by my learned colleagues!

just a note


Explanation:
As far as I know, the Sempione Park has no elliptic symmetry. The Arena Civica, designed by Luigi Canonica in 1807, is an amphiteather with elliptical plan.

The doubt Laura voices ...


Explanation:
is one that came to mind - that's why I said "architectonic" applied to a park sounded redundant, but if it is referring to the Arena Civica, then "dei quali" should be "del quale". Perhaps Liuba should check the original?? And let us know...
