BENEDETTO CAMERANA’S PROJECT FOR REDESIGN OF A FORMER INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN HEART OF THE DESIGN AND FASHION DISTRICT OF VIA TORTONA IN MILANO IS ALMOST COMPLETED
The construction of Benedetto Camerana’s project for the future exhibition space and multifunctional center is progressing rapidly in Via Tortona district, facing Officine della Scala and MUDEC.
The project is based on redevelopment of two linear workshops, partly through demolition and reconstruction, partly through recovery and integration. The main building facing Via Tortona is demolished and rebuilt with a revision of volume in a decagonal section, incorporating a series of new design elements: industrial metal structure, asymmetric skylight, recovery of industrial facade as an archaeological fragment, entrance garden, and a large linear facade serving as urban scenography in translucent material with a subtle luminance.
