Brera Academy to Open New Campus at Milan's Scalo Farini

The Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan has revealed plans for Brera 2, a new campus located at the Scalo Farini railway yard, which is part of a broader urban redevelopment initiative. This area encompasses 25,000 square meters, with an additional 15,000 square meters planned for future development. The academy intends to utilize this space for lectures, accessible via via Valtellina 7. An international architectural competition is currently in progress, with results anticipated in April. The five finalists are BAUKUH (Italy), OMA (Netherlands), ARUP (Italy), GRIMSHAW (UK), and Kengo Kuma and Associates Europe (France). The agreement was finalized in September, and construction is slated to commence by 2021. Honorary degrees will be conferred on Hilal Elver and Ennio Morricone on February 27.
