The Milan venue of Fondazione Prada, conceived by architecture firm OMA – led by Rem Koolhaas – expands the repertoire of spatial typologies in which art can be exhibited and shared with the public. Characterized by an articulated architectural configuration which combines seven existing buildings with three new structures (Podium, Cinema and Torre), the venue is the result of the transformation of a distillery dating back to the 1910’s.
In the project conceived by OMA, two conditions coexist: preservation and the creation of a new architecture which, although separate, confront each other in a state of permanent interaction.
Located in Largo Isarco, in the south of Milan, the compound develops on an overall surface of 19.000 m2/205,000 ft2.
La sede di Milano della Fondazione Prada, progettata dallo studio di architettura OMA, guidato da Rem Koolhaas, espande il repertorio delle tipologie spaziali in cui l’arte può essere esposta e condivisa con il pubblico. Caratterizzata da un’articolata configurazione architettonica che combina edifici preesistenti e tre nuove costruzioni (Podium, Cinema e Torre), è il risultato della trasformazione di una distilleria risalente agli anni dieci del Novecento.
Nel progetto di OMA coesistono quindi due dimensioni: l’opera di conservazione e l’ideazione di una nuova architettura che, pur rimanendo distinte, si confrontano in un processo di continua interazione. Situato in Largo Isarco, nella zona sud di Milano, il complesso si sviluppa su una superficie totale di 19.000 m2.
