Introduzione

Milano Arch Week is an international festival dedicated to architecture, urban transformations and the future of cities, promoted by Comune di Milano, Politecnico di Milano and Triennale Milano, with the artistic direction of Stefano Boeri, President of Triennale Milano. This year’s edition, which involves some of the great protagonists of international architecture, focuses on peripheries, investigating their potential and limits with respect to the epochal challenges of our present: from the health emergency to the climate crisis, from the increasingly pervasive presence of technology to the transformation of spaces and places to the growth of new forms of citizenship and community.

The 2023 edition is titled Around Peripheries and is curated by Nina Bassoli, curator for Architecture, Urban Regeneration and Cities, Triennale Milano, and Matteo Ruta, professor at Politecnico di Milano.
