Triennale Milano opens Cuore, a new research and archive center
Cuore – Centro studi, Archivi, Ricerca has been launched by Triennale Milano, occupying a 400-square-meter area within Palazzo dell'Arte dedicated to research and innovation. This initiative revitalizes the Centro Studi di Triennale, originally established by Giuseppe Pagano in 1935, and contains 300,000 digitized artifacts. The space, designed by AR.CH.IT Luca Cipelletti, showcases a reversible layout that honors the perspective of Giovanni Muzio's 1933 building. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, 11–20, it offers four consultation stations, a modular display by UniFor, and three LED walls featuring a 12-meter timeline of International Exhibitions. The library comprises over 22,000 books and 800 periodicals. The reestablished Centro Studi will pursue research and has initiated three PhD programs, with renovations projected to finish by 2026 for the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
