The seventh iteration of Milano Arch Week, organized by Comune di Milano, Politecnico di Milano, and Triennale Milano, is set to continue until November 2, 2025, focusing on the theme 'Inequalities and Architecture.' At Theatro Milano, MAB Arquitectura, under the direction of Floriana Marotta and Massimo Basile, showcases 'Positivo e Negativo,' which will also remain open until November 2. This exhibition investigates 'void' as a space that fosters social inclusion, featuring contributions from Federico Babina and significant initiatives such as 'Abitare a Milano – via Gallarate' and 'Patronage Laïque' in Paris. A discussion featuring Ezio Micelli and Marotta is scheduled for October 29, 2025, at 6:30 PM.
