The master thesis work is the synthesis of an academic approach to architecture. As a fitting conclusion of a long work in Milan during university, we worked on the Brianza region, a large 'urban phenomenon' in the north of the city.
During the economic boom in the 1960s Milan experienced a significant demographic increase, which together with newfound economic opportunities encouraged the rapid growth of the area between Milan and Como: Brianza.
The area is home to many Italian design furniture makers, and hosts an enormous heritage for savoir-fare and craftmanship. The research and the project ask and answer questions about urban context, and public accessibility to knowledge in a modern library of things.
