Exclusive Film-Screening: Women in Architecture II

On the occasion of Milan Design Week, scheduled from 7th to 13th April, Brera Design District reaches its 16th edition embracing the theme of “Connected Worlds” proposed this year by Fuorisalone.
The theme truly reflects the multi-faceted spirit of a district in the city which has become not only a unique brand of its kind but also an international point of reference thanks to its commercial offering and its identity, in a mix of craftmanship, art, culture, lifestyle, food and wine and hospitality.
The same intertwining of interpretations and points of view, but also of colours, shades, materials and graphic signs can also be found in the project named “Horizons”: the new installation of Brera Design Apartment (via Palermo 1), curated by the Zanellato/Bortotto Studio.
A design manifesto reflecting the spirit of Brera District and that develops through experiments in colours and textures applied to products and surfaces manufactured by genuine craftmanship.

The ½” =1’-0” scale model has been an integral part of our design process since we started our practice 8 years ago. The scale of the model allows us to look “into” the model rather than “over” it. Looking in is like finding and the act of finding is important for design. Our primary goal of model-making is not to generate form, but to generate space.
The ½” =1’-0” scale model allows us to test multiple spatial qualities: layout and section, material palette, assembly, details, and light. Testing the relationship of how these elements come together in the model allows us to make decisions. Sometimes things go well together, sometimes we see different elements require more tension.
The models in Models Off-Site are a mix of in-progress models from our office, models returned from exhibitions, and models from completed projects that have been in storage. We see this two-day exhibition as an opportunity to bring models from the last 8 years of our practice together, unboxed, and in one space.
