3, 2, 1… the Milano Arch Week 2023 is starting! Discover the program of “Around Peripheries”

The Milan Design Week kicks off today, to continue until 11 June, an event dedicated to architecture, urban transformations and the future of cities which, for a week (abundant), will give life to moments of discussion on some topics crucial to our contemporaneity.

For its fifth edition – with the artistic direction of Stefano Boeri (President of Triennale Milano) and curated by Nina Bassoli (curator for Architecture, urban regeneration, city of Triennale Milano) and by Matteo Ruta (professor at the Milan Polytechnic) – the event chooses the title of “Around Peripheries” to give life to a moment of discussion on the social and cultural energies of the city, aimed at initiating a collective reflection on the suburbs.

• What can we learn from marginal areas?
• What do we expect from the house?
• What are the boundaries of the center?
• Are the neighborhoods islands or are they rather thematic layers?

These are the questions around which lectures, talks, work tables, workshops and itineraries will revolve, guidelines for tackling the challenges of urban transformation enriched by the presence of international architects and designers, emerging studios and professionals, urban planners and landscape architects.

For this year, then, the borders are expanded, adding to the main offices of Politecnico di Milano e Milan Triennaleother venues spread throughout the city: schools, theatres, associations, libraries, neighborhood gardens, 40 places that trace a network that reaches from the center to the outermost neighborhoods, for a total of over 50 appointments.
