A calibrated sequence of sound, light, scent and touch, placed inside the garden of Fondazione Luigi Rovati. An argument for physical presence in a week drowning in digital saturation.<br /> <br /> Where Fondazione Luigi Rovati · Corso Venezia 52<br /> When 21 – 26 April · 10–19h https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2896990181138941762084270444464/2026-04-19_13-15-04_UTC_1.jpg <h2><i>Reference Library</i></h2>Jil Sander × Apartamento × studioutte<br /> <br /> Sixty books chosen by sixty creatives — Ronan Bouroullec, Jasper Morrison, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Faye Toogood, among others. studioutte turns the Jil Sander showroom into a mirrored, chrome-lectern reading room. White gloves at the door, hourly slots of sixty visitors, reading as ritual. A room that argues for slowness inside a week built on speed.<br /> <br /> Where Jil Sander Showroom · Via Beltrami 5<br /> When 20 – 24 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2896990507203590008974304808880/MAREA-TIDE-4.jpg <h2><i>Marea / Tide</i></h2>HABITS Design · Brera Design District<br /> <br /> A ceiling that listens. Helium modules connected by motorised nodes form a responsive, mirrored canopy overhead — advancing, receding, drawing close around a single visitor or opening outward around a crowd. Air becomes material, density becomes architecture. One of the most technically ambitious installations of the week.<br /> Where Spazio Eventi Solferino · Via Solferino 24When 20 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/I2896990984679113612872338837424/imgi_16_mca_citt_c3_a0_delle_idee_agor_c3_a0view_mca_visual.jpg.1920x1920_q85_564cd8c59fa246a29b49dc8ff01a155b.jpg <h2><i>Città delle Idee</i></h2>Mario Cucinella Architects · Corriere della Sera, Living, Abitare<br /> <br /> A city in the act of dematerializing. 3D-printed modular elements made by subtracting material rather than adding it — a structure that rises by disappearing. Cucinella reads the contemporary city through reduction: what remains when you let go of assumption.<br /> <br /> Where Solferino 28 · Via Solferino 28<br /> When 20 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/V2896991307589368623158039875504/Modes-of-Material-Mediation.jpg <h2><i>Dropcity</i></h2>Andrea Caputo · Magazzini Raccordati<br /> <br /> 40,000 square meters of abandoned rail tunnels behind Milano Centrale, reactivated as a permanent center for architecture. This week: <i>Modes of Material Mediation</i>, <i>The White House: Domestic Propaganda</i> from Politecnico di Milano, Central Saint Martins Material Futures, and new work by Martino Gamper and Konstantin Grcic. The architecture of the venue is as much of a reason to go as the programme.<br /> <br /> Where Via Sammartini 56 · behind Centrale<br /> When 20 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/T2896992277888106900280454877104/imgi_30_02_0f11ed87a40b3d47058a76d62aeb151d.jpg <h2><i>Ooooh, that’s EpiQ!</i></h2>Ricardo Orts · Ulises Studio, for Škoda<br /> <br />The Baroque courtyard of Palazzo del Senato reshaped as a field of soft, modelling-clay volumes. The rigid geometry of the palace meets a landscape in continuous deformation, with an interactive digital dome at its center. Brand activation, yes but the tension between historic architecture and malleable form is worth reading on its own terms.<br /> <br />Where Palazzo del Senato · Via Senato 10<br />When 21 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2896992623580090841597452160944/imgi_30_Metamorphosis-in-Motion-lina-ghotmeh_dezeen_2364_col_5-2048x2048.jpg <h2><i>Metamorphosis in Motion</i></h2>Lina Ghotmeh · MoscaPartners Variations<br /> <br />A pink labyrinth inserted into a Baroque courtyard. Curved modules choreograph the body’s movement through the Cortile d’Onore, turning symmetry into sequence. Ghotmeh’s first site-specific outdoor work in Italy and one of the week’s few installations where architecture is the medium, not the frame.<br /> <br />Where Palazzo Litta · Corso Magenta 24<br />When 20 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/M2896993026530768387708897660848/imgi_48_lexus-mdw26-designboom-1800.jpg <h2><i>SPACE</i></h2>Lexus · Superstudio Più Daylight<br /> <br /> Built around the LS Concept a six-wheel chauffeur-driven vehicle where LS now stands for <i>Luxury Space</i> rather than Luxury Sedan. The installation reframes mobility as a spatial question: the car not as object to arrive in, but as an interior that moves with you. Four parallel Discover Together works by Random Studio, Guardini Ciuffreda, Hayashi &#x26; Kurotani and Lexus in-house designers extend the argument.<br /> <br /> Where Superstudio Più · Via Tortona 27<br /> When 21 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/S2896993317583496382698203058096/2026-04-17_17-12-55_UTC.jpg <h2><i>SuperPlayground</i></h2>Superstudio Village · Bovisa<br /> <br /> A former factory in Bovisa, newly opened as Superstudio’s third venue. At the center: <i>Keep Your Bubble</i> by Lousy Auber — a soft architecture stitched from discarded hot-air balloon fabrics, inflated into a structure you walk inside. Thirty-three emerging designers around it. Worth the trip north for the spatial experiment alone.<br /> <br /> Where Superstudio Village · Bovisa<br /> When 20 – 26 April · until 23h https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2896995804794893329104466546608/capsule-plaza-was-the-perfect-spot-to-take-a-beat-between-events-around-town-willo-perrons-module-tables-occupy-the-central-outdoor-space.jpg <h2><i>Capsule Plaza</i></h2>Curated by Kaleidoscope · Spatial design by NM3<br /> <br /> New venue this year — a former industrial building turned gym and pool, now restored by ASA OFFICE. Theme: <i>Design State of Mind</i>. Stone Island, Karimoku Research, Lichen NYC, Bolon with Martino Gamper, 1X Technologies. NM3’s spatial design gives the platform the internal coherence that most design fairs lack.<br /> <br /> Where Via Achille Maiocchi 8<br /> When 20 – 26 April https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2896996529751935425889845055408/gallery-1.png <h2><i>Deoron</i></h2>Porta Venezia Design District<br /> <br /> A former ball-bearings factory, opened to the public for the first time. Over fifty international designers and brands inside — Vincent Lane, Studio Ambre, Tubes, Fanzi, Electric Architects, Studio Boyo. A bar, listening sessions, daily events. The building itself is worth the walk.<br /> <br /> Where Via Padova 11<br /> When 20 – 26 April https://space20.space/untitled-set 2026-04-19T15:19:35+00:00 always 0.5 https://space20.space/about 2026-04-22T22:57:37+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2522732356724347848315072090032/14.png https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/W2524335158991397570101194985392/82.png https://space20.space 2026-04-21T07:24:59+00:00 always 0.5 https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/N1141345575321241992128641182300/dolmen.jpg https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2772817026374487570622676668336/IMG_6471.PNG https://space20.space/contact 2026-04-19T15:54:20+00:00 always 0.5 https://space20.space/header 2026-04-19T15:19:35+00:00 always 0.5
