PIAZZA CORDUSIO, MILANO. NUOVI ESERCIZI PROGETTUALI TRA ANTICO E CONTEMPORANEO
Piazza Cordusio, Milano. Nuovi esercizi progettuali tra antico e contemporaneo
“It seems interesting to me to catch the search for a rigorous formal simplicity that combines the historic building with contemporary crystal elements in clear contrast and able, thanks to a play of reflections and transparencies, to change its general appearance. Recalling Dan Graham’s famous sculptural objects, a volume of pure crystal inserts and multiplies the design and decorative structure of the restored inner courtyard. On the top the previous impacting plants are replaced by a new metal top with large windows; this intervention, is characterised as well by the search for a clear contrast with the building below.”
