Milan, a history in recreational spaces
No full textMilan can count in its attractions one of the most ancient public parks in Europe, the ‘Giardini Pubblici’ (Public Gardens) opened in 1784 by Austrian Government to bring in Lombardy the Vienna’s grandeur. It was a success and can be reported as the first recreational public open space in Italy. After almost 200 hundred years, Milan started to face with the problem of the loss of its green structure overwhelmed by the continuous growing of the urban fabric. The answers were two wide parks devoted with the idea of reforestation that created a new definition of the outskirts of the Lombard metropolis: Boscoincittà (‘Wood-in-the-town’) coming out from the requalification of former agricultural fields and Parco Nord Milano (Northern Milan Park) renovating the brownfields left by heavy industry. Both of them were and are devoted for the recreational use and improved the quality of life of the people living in Milan. At the end of the XX century a new series of parks, at a quarter scale,
replaces some former derelict industrial areas, left in various places inside the historic urban context of Milan. Finally in the last ten year Milan regenerated itself changing its skyline, but this kind of ‘revolution’ brought a quantity of new parks and
opens spaces really devoted to recreational use at various scales, always in direct connection with the built environment both dedicated to residential or office use. The paper illustrates this time line reporting and discussing how the perception of
recreational open spaces has changed in Milan, the un-expected green growing city
Ad triangulum. The cathedral of Milan and its dome. From Stornaloco to Bramante, Leonardo and Giovanni Antonio Amadeo
No full textThe construction of the dome of Milan Cathedral represents one of the most fascinating and complex episodes in the history of Italian architecture of the fifteenth century. This is an exemplary case, for the specificity and exceptionality of the Fabbrica del Duomo and for the involvement of some of the most authoritative protagonists of the time - Bramante, Francesco di Giorgio Martini, Luca Fancelli and Leonardo da Vinci - invited by Giangaleazzo and Ludovico Maria Sforza to propose an innovative structural, constructive and formal solution. The desire of the ducal family to assert its image through this enterprise is the backdrop to the succession of builders, workers and ambitious projects committed to giving the building the right crowning glory. The complex story is traced here starting from the recognition of the importance of the intervention of the mathematician from Piacenza Gabriele Stornaloco, creator in 1391 of a geometric scheme to establish the dimensions of the elevation, to be considered the "Ariadne's thread" for the construction of the whole cathedral. Deepening the heated discussion on the adoption of different construction techniques - Lombard, Tuscan and transalpine - the numerous projects proposed to solve the problem of the dome, which pushes the Sforza and the Fabbrica to make use of prestigious consultancy, are then analyzed, also involving Leonardo da Vinci, author of a lost wooden model. Finally we come to the winning project of two Lombards, Giovanni Antonio Amedeo and Giangiacomo Dolcebuono who, between 1490 and 1500, built the dome up to the base of the lantern, using practices rooted in Lombard architectural culture, leaving out only the largest spire that will be built in 1769 as evidence of the complexity of a construction site that lasted over 400 years, making Milan Cathedral one of the most original architecture in Europe
城市设计(生态)系统:关于米兰设计周的思考 (translation: The Design (Eco)System: Research and Reflections on Milan Design Week)
No full textMilan Design (Eco) System is a research project, devised and funded by the Salone del Mobile. Milano, with scientific oversight by the Department of Designof Politecnico di Milano. The objective of the project was to share a first guide for the systematic analysis of a globally unique event: the Milan Design Week, of which the Salone del Mobile fair is an international catalyst and an accelerator of business and project culture, along with the increasingly extensive programme of events that has been transforming the city into a global stage in April for many years, with a plurality of governance. In the report, Salone del Mobile.
Milano and Milan Design Week are observed, discussing their common local impact, inspiring reflections for the Design ecosystem of Milan, which also provide a paradigm reference for creative cities around the world. The study has found that the key to its success lies in the organic integration of design activities and urban identity to form a unique cultural and economic model. Through the coordinated operation of the Salone del Mobile. Milano and Milan Design Week, the city has built an innovative network that emphasizes public-private collaboration, business and culture, and a dynamically balanced design ecosystem, while creating the world's most vital urban creative design platform mechanism. This system has achieved in-depth interaction between the public, creative activities and urban spaces, and continues to strengthen Milan's global influence as a "Design City". The work that has been done by the Design Strategies Lab (directed by Prof. Francesco Zurlo) and the Design Policy Lab (directed by Prof. Stefano Maffei) from POLIMI is partly included in this edition of report so as to share more knowledgeable experience with the Cities of Design in China hoping to open up more possible dialogues for future exchange
