PULSATING THEATER WALLS TEMPERED BY A MEASURED TONE AND STEADY HAND

PULSATING THEATER WALLS TEMPERED BY A MEASURED TONE AND STEADY HAND

 

Giorgio Armani has long been fond of Tadao Ando’s work as it is rooted in the same clean, understated aesthetic for which the fashion designer has come to be known. Their first collaboration, in 2001, yielded a theater that would go on to become the fulcrum and pulsating beat of company activities during Fashion Week and beyond.

 

The renowned Japanese creator, a key figure in contemporary architecture and recipient of the industry’s most prestigious award, was entrusted with the formidable task of envisioning and developing the Armani/Teatro, as it was aptly named.

The space, that includes a catwalk and large seating area, has hosted a bevy of fashion shows throughout the years, setting an elegant stage for various performances and special events linked to the house’s main runway collections.

 

Situated on Via Bergognone, 59, and a fundamental part of Milan headquarters, the structure is now also a staple pillar within architecture in Italy, exemplifying a mutual passion for order, rigor and minimalism in a perfect balance between art and style. The evocative building is an impressive display of Ando’s grid-like architecture infused with Giorgio Armani’s signature grey-hued palette and distinctive character.

The self-taught architect makes his return across the street at Armani/Silos, the cultural hub inaugurated in 2015 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the brand’s founding, kicking off a retrospective, on show from 9 April to 28 July 2019, that looks back on his most significant accomplishments to date.

 

 

The exhibition, the first of its kind dedicated to architecture, will open this year’s international Salone del Mobile furniture fair: a detailed exploration of Ando’s extraordinarily prolific career.
