THE REDISCOVERED COURTYARD

The Triennial is, today more than ever, a stable reference point in Milan’s cultural and economical life, at the centre of an intense dialogue between society, art and business.
Founded in Monza in 1923 as the Biennial of Decorative Arts, in 1933 it moved to its current location in Milan’s Art Building.
LIVING IN A VILLAGE

The renovation project for two houses in the centre of Gussago began with a very methodical and precise study of the historic and typical settlement context of this historic Brescia village. The roads are narrow and flanked by high walls and historic, mainly rural, buildings: it is hard for the traffic to get along the narrow, rising and falling roads and there are some fascinating views of the hills beyond and the quiet hidden courtyards.
HOW TO RENEW BY EXPERIMENTING

The flat in question is an attic overlooking the ancient walls in the centre of the historic town of Castelfranco, in the province of Treviso, and its story tells of a renovation project that turned out to be a real revolution, an experiment, taking each part back to its original rough state to then start again from scratch.
