As architects, we are supposed to design l’immeuble, the immobile. Its immobility makes it attractive as a solid investment, as a
guarantee of a stable return in times of temporary insecurity.
But what if - instead of stability - we were looking for ‘a series of movements, flights and transformations’?
What if - instead of formalisation - we looked for moments in time?
What if - we no longer thought in terms of buildings - but in terms of operational systems?
Can we reverse our practice, our thinking, by starting to design a set of activities before thinking about geometric form?
Can a structure be an extension of the human world, in constant adaptation?
Conceived as a research into temporality, transformation, and performance, the project challenges architecture’s conventional association with permanence and stability. Drawing from the speed and experimental nature of fashion, it explores lightweight and adaptive spatial devices capable of activating suburban Milan through temporary occupation, social use, and evolving forms of urban life.
