Challenging the limits of design means recognizing one's own identity and delineating the boundaries of the field of research experimentation. We went in search of our history.
We strongly wanted a project that was deeply Milanese, using an architectural language that had its roots in the modern Lombard tradition and in Milan in particular; a thread that linked us to the poetics of Terragni, Giò Ponti, Mangiarotti and BBPR; a design that was recognizable by familiarity with the ways of the city and unique by reaffirmed belonging to the place.
Expressiveness reaffirms ancient values, recalling the measures and colors of those areas that most reiterate Central European flavors, and which constitute the humus on which Milan grew.The project features a detachment with the church of S. Maria della Porta: a livable empty space, full of sound and sensitive vibrations.
The section, the elevations, configure an architecture where the functions are integrated one with each other. The whole is placed in the immediate urban context naturally, almost an architecture that seems to have always been there.
