DROPCITY CONVENTION 2023
AWARD-WINNING PROJECT FROM THE PUBLIC NOTICE “FESTIVAL ARCHITETTURA – II EDIZIONE”, PROMOTED BY THE GENERAL DIRECTORATE FOR CONTEMPORARY CREATIVITY OF THE MINISTRY OF CULTURE
ANTICIPATES THE CULTURAL PROGRAMME OF THE ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN CENTRE
FROM 15th TO 23rd APRIL
SPACES IN THE TUNNELS (MAGAZZINI RACCORDATI) CONNECTED ALONG VIA SAMMARTINI
FROM TUNNEL 38 TO TUNNEL 60
From 15th to 23rd April, Dropcity Convention 2023, the winning project of the public notice 'Festival Architettura - II edizione', promoted by the Contemporary Creativity General Management of the Ministry of Culture, opens to the city. During this period, inside the Magazzini Raccordati in the Central Station, Dropcity Centro di Architettura e Design, conceived by architect Andrea Caputo and developed thanks to Nhood, produces and hosts a busy schedule of exhibitions, installations, conferences and talks with the participation of international architects and designers.
If the 2022 preview unveiled the tunnels and the project, describing its objectives and the process of reclaiming the spaces and the surrounding urban environment, during Design Week Dropcity Convention 2023 offers a foretaste of the scope regarding the cultural apparatus that will be produced by the Centre for Architecture and Design in its final form in 2024: a place not only dedicated to the culture of design, experimentation of new technologies, didactics, debate, but above all a centre for the production of research projects that flow into exhibitions and previews of their international scope, especially commissioned for Dropcity but destined to cross boundaries.
EXHIBITIONS AND INSTALLATIONS
The scheduled exhibitions include Arrigo Arrighetti. A public architect, dedicated to Arrigo Arrighetti, the architect and urban planner in charge of the Technical Office of the Milan City Council, who in the 1960s and 1970s designed some of the most interesting and innovative public buildings in the city (social housing in the Sant'Ambrogio district, schools such as the Martin Luther King Institute at QT8, the Solari swimming pool and iconic religious centres), with attention to form, architectural structure and construction details. Curated by Salvatore Porcaro, with a set-up conceived by the young Ferrara-based collective HPO, the exhibition narrates, through archive materials, drawings and a photographic display by Pino Musi, the life and works of a master of Italian architecture, who knew how to combine public commitment and formal quality. The project is the winner of the public notice "Festival Architettura - II edition", promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
EXHIBITIONS
Aspen, the Italian Manifesto (Tunnel 142), an installation curated by Francesca Picchi and designed by Studio Ossidiana in Rotterdam is inspired by the congress organised by the International Design Conference in Aspen (IDCA) in 1989. On that occasion, some of Italy's most visionary designers, such as Achille Castiglioni, Ettore Sottsass, Andrea Branzi, Mario Bellini, Gae Aulenti and Italo Lupi were invited to Colorado to talk about their work and ideas to the public, including Steve Jobs, generating a series of exchanges in which representatives of the Italian business and cultural scene also took part, including Alberto Alessi, Aurelio Zanotta and Federico Zeri. During this week, a number of key themes in Italian design took shape: the interdisciplinary approach, the construction (even spontaneous) within communities of designers based on common ideals, the humanistic vision, the experimental attitude that has never been done without the craft component. The Aspen installation, the Italian Manifesto will be introduced on Sunday 16th April at 16:00 with a conversation open to the public with the protagonists and witnesses of 1989, moderated by Michele Lupi, who will be joined by Antonio Colombo, Alberto Saibene, Andrea Zagato, Elena Dalla Piana, Giovanna Castiglioni, Giovanni Cutolo, Giulio Iacchetti, Francesco Dondina and Franco Raggi. The project is the winner of the public notice "Festival Architettura - II edition", promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
There will also be a presentation of the six-month academic exercise on Dropcity by the students of SCI-Arc, Southern California Institute of Architecture. The students questioned how we work today, how we collaborate, and the possibility of reinventing the office. The final project is a choral exercise that oscillates between interior and urban scale, personal and collective identity.
TUNNEL EVANGELION COMPETITION
Dropcity Convention 2023, in collaboration with Reuse Italy, has involved architects, engineers and students of architecture and design in Tunnel Evangelion, a competition of ideas concerning the Magazzini Raccordati area: an urban infrastructure now only partially re-evaluated by the Dropcity initiative. The modular and sequential spaces of the Magazzini Raccordati became the starting point for a competition intended to envisage new scenarios for the reuse of a unique urban facility. From over 200 applications received, the jury composed of Federica Sofia Zambeletti, Manuel Orazi, Anneke Abhelakh, Fosbury Architecture, Luigi Savio, 2A+P/A and Ekaterina Golovatyuk selected 10 finalist projects, which will be presented in an exhibition during Dropcity Convention 2023. The project is the winner of the public notice "Festival Architettura - II edition", promoted by the General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
CONFERENCES
During Dropcity Convention 2023, Tunnel 60 will host daily lectures by international architects in an open public debate moderated by Anneke Abhelakh. The project is the winner of the public competition 'Festival Architettura - II edition'. promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture. Tunnel 60 will also be dedicated to the presentation of the six-month academic exercise on Dropcity by the students of SCI-Arc, Southern California Institute of Architecture. The students questioned how we work today, how we collaborate and the possibility of reinventing the office. The final project is a choral exercise that oscillates between interior and urban scale, personal and collective identity.
DROPCITY, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN CENTRE
Dropcity is a new centre for Architecture and Design that will be built along Via Sammartini in Milan, inside the Magazzini Raccordati at the Central Station. The project is an initiative originating from an idea conceived by Andrea Caputo back in 2018 with the aim of establishing a place for gatherings and debates on Architecture, Design and the contemporary city. It is scheduled to open to the city in early 2024. Developed thanks to Nhood, Dropcity defines an urban model unprecedented in Europe with over 10,000 square metres, divided into 28 tunnels, which will house exhibition galleries, production workshops, carpentry, robotics and advanced prototyping laboratories. In addition, a large area will be dedicated to research, teaching and office space for industry professionals. A material library and a public library, focusing on Architecture and Design topics, complete the programme.
