Stefano Boeri narrates Vico Magistretti's Torre al Parco in short documentary
At Triennale Milano, the exhibition 'Vico Magistretti. Architetto milanese' runs until September 12, 2021. Curated by Gabriele Neri in collaboration with Fondazione Vico Magistretti, the retrospective covers the entire career of Vico Magistretti (Milan 1920–2006), which began at Palazzo dell'Arte after World War II. A short documentary features Stefano Boeri, President of Triennale Milano, and Gabriele Neri discussing Magistretti's Torre al Parco. Filmed on the top floor of the Milan building, the dialogue recalls the architect's talent and shares personal memories. Boeri notes Magistretti's versatility: he designed public housing, luxury villas, skyscrapers, low-rise buildings, and sheds for ATM, addressing social questions with apparent ease and innovation.
