Milano Arch Week 2020 Goes Hybrid with Female Architects Marathon
The fourth Milano Arch Week is on the horizon, organized by Triennale Milano, Politecnico di Milano, and the Comune di Milano, with support from Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli and artistic direction from Stefano Boeri. This year, the format will blend in-person and online events. Noteworthy discussions will feature prominent female architects, including Momoyo Kaijima, Anupama Kundoo, Odile Decq, Elizabeth Diller, Martha Thorne, and Lina Ghotmeh, who has documented the Beirut explosion aftermath. A highlight will be a retrospective of Spanish architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg at Musei di Santa Giulia, showcasing his Capitolium project. The program will also cover architecture’s role in healthcare, urban changes in Milan, and emerging firms discussing post-Covid architecture.
