WeWork, the global flexible workspace provider, is opening this week its newest building in Via Giuseppe Mazzini 9. This is WeWork’s 4th location in Milan.
The choice of a vibrant and touristy location
Via Mazzini 9 opens its doors this 15 March, in the heart of Milan’s lively tourist centre. Few steps away from the Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, Palazzo Reale and Scala Theatre, the building is located close to dynamic retail streets and is served by a wide choice of public transport, thus benefiting from exceptional accessibility. A prestigious and vibrant location in the city, which was a natural and strategic choice for WeWork. Muhannad Al Salhi, General Manager of WeWork Italy and Spain discloses: “Opening of a new WeWork location always starts with our future members in front mind – from thinking about how the design of spaces will inspire community and innovation, to the location of the building. One of our strengths is our always prime city centre locations, and Via Mazzini 9 reflects this strategy, while also representing great opportunities from a business perspective. With its excellent transport links and thriving neighborhood, we are betting on attracting more and more companies to an area which so far has a powerful touristic and retail aura, yet whose potential for corporations has not been fully tapped.”
Masquespacio has just finished its first interior design project in Milan for Italian hamburger chain Bun.
After presenting its Memphis inspired Toadstool collection in 2016 and their collaborative exhibition with Italian terracotta artisan Poggi Ugo during the last Milan Design Week, now Masquespacio returns back to Milan with its first interior design project for Bun, located at Viale Bligny, next to the Bocconi University. The aim for the project was to create an identity with a clear focus on the younger generations and at the same time represent a more sophisticated approach for a high-quality hamburger restaurant.
The project by CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and Australian real estate group Lendlease wins the international competition to build the University of Milan’s new science campus, due to open in 2025. The design explores how a historical institution of higher education can be transformed for the digital age.
International design and innovation practice CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati and a team led by Australian real estate group Lendlease have won the international competition to design the University of Milan’s new science campus. Located in the MIND-Milano Innovation District, a 1-million-square-meter (10 million square feet) innovation park whose masterplan was also developed by CRA, the new campus is set to open in 2025.
Casa Tersicore was built in Milan, near the Naviglio Grande. On the street, the body of the building is four stories high, which bends around the corner, and then rises seven stories high in a type of turret. The ground floor of the building is set slightly back from the edge of the loggia on the first and second floors. This loggia runs along both the street front and on the side orthogonal to it, towards the interior of the lot. The decorative suspended pilasters (lesene) of the loggia, 15cm thick and variable in width, are designed in a slowed perspective (prospettiva rallentata), so that on the long side viewed from the street they appear equidistant because of the perspectival view, while in reality their intercolumniation is progressively greater as they get further away from the street.
Degli Esposti Architetti teamed up with Eisenman Architects and AZstudio to design this stunning residential building in Milan, Italy. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.
For a triangular site included in the Piano Pavia-Masera (1909-1911), bounded by buildings built from the beginning of the 20th century to the Seventies, this project seeks to create a distinctly contemporary apartment building, while discussing both architecture ideas and the context, presenting itself as a current milestone in a genealogy of the Milanese house. First of all, this building solves the issue of the street relationship, without a construction along the boundaries of the block, like three exceptional precedents: the Ca’ Brütta by Giovanni Muzio, the Casa Rustici by Giuseppe Terragni and Pietro Lingeri, and the Corso Italia Complex by Luigi Moretti.
PHYD, the digital venture of The Adecco Group born from the technological collaboration with Microsoft, which combines a digital platform and a physical space, aims to improve the human capital and showcase it over time. The company turned to Il Prisma team in order to create a phygital place that would focus on people, in order to make them more competitive and future-proof. The final result is a space located inside a two-story building in Via Tortona 31, Milan – digital and physical alike, first and only in Italy, where you can train your talents and enhance your potential.
After winning an International competition, Studio Marco Piva has been commissioned to project a new residential building complex, in the broader context of the renovation of Via Principe Eugenio in Milan.
The project propose a modern architectural solution able to reestablish a continuity with the city’s public landscape and the other surrounding buildings, consolidating the relationship between the building and the public spaces.
This large public building aims through its design to achieve three explicitly stated goals: to provide office and support spaces for government departments to provide outdoor gathering places to exemplify the most advanced green practices
Today more than ever the emergency of Coronavirus forces us to redesign our lifestyle and the spaces we live and work in. In such a complicated moment for Italy and the entire world with the ongoing healthcare crisis, the opportunity to transform the future of design and to rebuild the economy starts right from Milan thanks to the DesignTech project. The first hub for technological innovation in the design sector will rise in the MIND Milano Innovation District, currently under construction by the developer Lendlease in the ex-Expo 2015 space.
The apartment, in an eighteenth-century building in the heart of Milan, was in a state of complete abandonment and dilapidated. Despite this, the original structure appeared intact and suggested an intervention of a philological nature, recovering all the elements of the past integrating them with a few contemporary elements necessary to make the unit habitable for a family of five.
