COURTYARD OF HONOUR, UNIVERSITY OF MILAN - On the central lawn, a cube embedded in the ground rises to over twelve meters high with an inclination of 45 degrees. It is the representation of power taking shape in action, of consciousness flowing into knowledge.
In a contemporary world where everything is immediate and digitally replicable, Momentum, designed by MAD Architects (Andrea D’Antrassi e Ma Yansong), on the one hand is the spark, the mother idea, on the other it is the study, complexity and care that lie behind the creative impulse.
The mirror surface observes and captures, reflects and refers to the unpredictability of inspiration and invention.
An interweaving of nature, history and technology. The surrounding environment, from the lawn to the trees to the arches of the University, is reflected in the structure that thus becomes the membrane of a new urban fabric.
