Milan, Italy

Upon completion of the Propositions studio, I had the opportunity to enroll in the Spring Travel Course, Scenography and Statecraft, lead by Brittany Utting and Daniel Jacobs and investigated architecture’s participation in the geopolitical scenography of the Italian Peninsula. In Milan, we studied the ongoing relationship between architecture, housing, and revolution, visiting projects by Terragni, Moretti, and Rossi to see works that span from Italian Rationalism to the new Tendenza. We also visited projects such as OMA’s Prada Foundation in Milan to understand the relationship between production and consumption in the built environment.
