Stefano Boeri in Pole Position for Triennale di Milano Presidency

Stefano Boeri, the architect behind Milan's Bosco Verticale, is rumored to become the next President of Triennale di Milano, succeeding Claudio De Albertis, who died in 2016 and revived the Triennale International Exhibition. Boeri, born in 1956, is a prominent figure in architecture and urbanism. He has directed Domus and Abitare, served as Professor of Urban Planning at Politecnico di Milano, was Milan's Councillor for Culture from 2011 to 2013, and has been a member of the scientific committee of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence since 2015. His Bosco Verticale, named the world's most beautiful skyscraper, has led to international projects in Paris, Utrecht, Lausanne, Nanjing, and recently Eindhoven. Boeri also designed the master plan for Tirana, Albania, and the new canteen for Amatrice after the 2016 earthquake, funded by Corriere della Sera and TG La7. He is involved in the FAO's World Forum on Urban Forests and launched a call to action. The ArchWeek format, an evolution of Mi/Arch, is confirmed for 2018 and may center on Triennale, which co-organized it in 2017.
