From the 1920s onwards, Milan has become a laboratory of architecture
due to architects such as Giuseppe Terragni, Gio Ponti and Giuseppe
Pagano. Magazines such as Domus and Casabella were founded in the 1920s
which influenced international debate throughout the 20th century. A new
trend arose following the reconstruction of the city due to damages
incurred during World War II: the city is now able to combine modernity
with its existing context through the works of BBPR, Luigi Caccia
Dominioni, Ignazio Gardella and Franco Albini. These architects
introduced the renowned design which is nowadays identified with Milan.
In the last decade, an outstanding urban development took place owing to
areas which feature the work of internationally renowned architects,
including David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind, as well
as Italian architects such as Cino Zucchi and Stefano Boeri. Owing to
its ambitious projects, Milan has transformed from an industrial city to
a global capital of culture, fashion and leisure. This guide proposes
thematic itineraries for discovering one of the most architecturally
exciting European cities.
