Pilot Housing
Milan, 2011
Promoter: Chamber of Architects, Milan
In winter 2011, the municipality of Milan was preparing to adopt the new Master-plan (PGT, Piano del Governo del Territorio), a more flexible tool if compared with the previous one.
New master-plan’s main aim was to make it possible, through new building spaces requirements and legislation, a development of the city more open to densification and looking for a proliferation of public spaces. Few months before its adoption, the Chamber of Architects of Milan asked our office to design a pilot project for collective housing, checking the extent to which the new master-plan would be able to ensure a high quality architecture. Our proposal tried to mix several housing typologies ensuring a good balance between private and public sphere.
