VISIT SITE CARLO RATTI ASSOCIATI TAKES ON MILAN’S INNOVATIVE NEW SCIENCE PARK The new cultural and scientific hub “Mind” finds itself in the former spaces of Expo 2015 BY RITA SALERNO 24/08/2018 Courtesy Carlo Ratti Associati The 2015 Universal Exposition in Milan is set to leave its mark in the cultural domain. After countless debates and unending back-and-forth arguments on how best to use the site on the outskirts of town, the Board of Directors at the University of Milan approved the proposal for a new Campus proposed by LendLease in collaboration with Carlo Ratti Associati. PUBBLICITÀ - CONTINUA A LEGGERE DI SEGUITO Mind, or Milano Innovation District, is the new Science Campus for the University of Milan and will extend over one million square meters, encompassing offices, research centers, faculty spaces, residences, cultural areas, and agricultural https://www.elledecor.com/it/best-of/a22891768/milan-science-park-carlo-ratti-associati/ 1/7 9/5/2018 Carlo Ratti Associati Takes on Milan’s Innovative New Science Park spaces. As an important agreement between the public and private sector, the new site will include not only the new university campus, but also the Galeazzi hospital and the Human Technopole, along with other private companies interested in the project. Launching a collaboration with a network of educational institutes, Milanese universities like the Politecnico di Milano, Iulm, and the Accademia di Brera have been challenged to develop a visual identity for Mind. The community will aim to trace a masterplan along with articulated communication strategies, promoting the hub on a local, national, and international level. Courtesy Image The move comes after Ratti’s latest success at the 2018 Milan Design Week, where his innovative pavilion Living Nature. La Natura dell’Abitare presented a high-tech climate controlling system in Piazza Duomo. The international design studio, CRA (Carlo Ratti Associati), then began collaboration with Australia’s leading developer, LandLease, to develop the new Science Park.

Yes No I Don't Know RELATED STORY CURIOUS BY NATURE Ratti, a Torinese engineer and architect, has made his mark on the international scene as founder and director of SENSEable City Lab at MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, working to create a world where urban architecture is capable of “sensing and actuating” in real time. At the core of his efforts, Ratti looks to craft spaces with a greater capacity for flexibility and dynamism. It’s from this idea that SENSEable City takes its name, prioritizing the inhabitants within a city over the previous notion of a standard Smart City, which focuses only on the technological aspect of the metropolis in and of itself. PUBBLICITÀ - CONTINUA A LEGGERE DI SEGUITO Mind comes as a response to the University of Milan’s decision to transfer its scientific departments (including 18,000 students and nearly 2,000 researchers) from the current Città Studi campus to an entirely new area. Proposing a vision of an open campus, the hub will lay the groundwork for a new style of education, promoting exchanges between universities and international institutions. https://www.elledecor.com/it/best-of/a22891768/milan-science-park-carlo-ratti-associati/ 3/7 9/5/2018 Carlo Ratti Associati Takes on Milan’s Innovative New Science Park Courtesy Carlo Ratti Associati The revolutionary new hub was designed following five principal cardinals: the creation of a 1.5 km linear park along the decumano; the creation of common spaces accessible to all; the creation of a design following an open source principle, remaining inclusive and adaptable to change according to needs; the creation of a typological scheme inspired by the urban structure of Milan, and finally, the application of an internal transportation system that is innovative, autonomous, and ecological. With a promising new cityscape on the horizon, the University of Milan looks to lead the metropolis towards a new frontier of smart solutions.

  • A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time
    A Pavilion with Four Seasons at the Same Time Salone del Mobile.Milano and CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati unveil “Living Nature”, a garden pavilion in Milan’s central square that uses energy flow control to allow spring, summer, autumn and winter to coexist under the same roof. The pavilion will be Salone del Mobile’s main venue in the city center MILAN, FEBRUARY 28TH, 2018 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This spring, Salone del Mobile.Milano will work with international design and innovation office CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati to develop a project that explores the relationship between nature and living, with the aim of fostering a new debate on sustainable design in our homes. “Living Nature. La Natura dell’Abitare” is a garden pavilion where all four seasons coexist with each other at the same time, thanks to an innovative energy management system for climate control. The project, which stems from a concept by CRA and Studio Römer, will be open to the public in Milan’s main square (Piazza del Duomo) from the 17th to the 25th of April 2018, as the main city-based event during the 57th edition of Salone del Mobile.Milano. The 500 square-meter pavilion will house four natural, climatic microcosms that will enable all seasons of the year to unfold at precisely the same time, one next to the other. Visitors will be immersed in nature and experience its changes through the four different areas – Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn – embellished with familiar and domestic concepts. While it shapes a recreational space in the heart of the city “Living Nature” also explores the relationship between cities and nature, a recurring topic in Western history, from Ancient Greece to Frank Lloyd Wright or Ezebener Howard’s 20th century urban utopias.

  • LSGI Distinguished Lecture Series “Senseable Cities”
    Overview Senseable Cities The way we live, work, and play is very different today than it was just a few decades ago, thanks in large part to a network of connectivity that now encompasses most people on the planet. In a similar way, today we are at the beginning of a new technological revolution: the Internet is entering the physical space – the traditional domain of architecture and design – becoming an “Internet of Things” or IoT. As such, it is opening the door to a variety of applications that – in a similar way to what happened with the first wave of the Internet - can encompass many domains: from energy to mobility, from production to citizen participation. The contribution from Prof. Carlo Ratti will address these issues from a critical point of view through projects by the Senseable City Laboratory, a research initiative at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the design office Carlo Ratti Associati. .
