This collective exhibition included around fifty of the most significant student-designed models developed and submitted for their final degree exam together with a few produced by young architecture graduates.

“I conceived Armani/Silos as somewhere to promote creativity and to act as a stimulus for new ideas, encouraging young people to express themselves. I am happy to give space to the architecture students of Politecnico di Milano for such a richly meaningful exhibition, a spur for reflection on important issues such as sustainability and innovation. I was struck by how these young people succeeded in looking to the future, while not forgetting their roots. Silos is currently hosting an exhibition of the works of a great architect, Tadao Ando. I hope that his example will inspire these young people to whom I wish a bright future.”

THE EXHIBITION

The projects undertaken by the students revolved around highly complex themes such as urban and landscape transformations, as well as ever-evolving living conditions, with an emphasis on the search for a new and sustainable equilibrium between the natural and the artificial. The models showcased within the exhibition were presented in a mosaic-style structure displaying architectures and extracts of new visions along with a thought-provoking projection of select perspectives. Included were extensions of existing projects, as well as completely new spaces in Milan’s landscape and in other cities of the world, drawings of homes, landscapes and public spaces.
