BASE Milano is a new center for design and creativity in the heart of the Tortona district, in the historical spaces of the former Ansaldo factory. The new integrated project for culture and creativity in Milan will be operating all year round and aims at becoming a new reference point for creativity and design in Milan and abroad. Fuorisalone 2016, with a very exciting edition of Tortona Design Week, and the beginning of the XXI Triennale International Exhibition will be the two key moments – eagerly awaited by the whole city – supporting the opening of BASE Milano.
BASE Milano will host the XXI Triennale 21st century. Design after Design (April 2-September 12), with some of its most important international Pavilions.
During the Fuorisalone BASE Milano will turn into the Design Center and will host a number of international projects, including: the original Visual Making laboratory- exhibition dealing with graphic experimentation between digital fabrication and handmade artistic prints, by Opendot in collaboration with Claude Marzotto (obelo) and Daniela Lorenzi (A14); the European network Human Cities, with an exhibition involving its 11 partners from 11 cities, in partnership with Politecnico di Milano and Tongji University of Shangai; two exhibitions set up by Connecting the Dots about “Culture & Market”, two opposite but very relevant aspects concerning the design industry; the collective exhibition of Designersblock with the projects conceived by 60 independent, famous and emerging designers; SMART PARK by Reply, an accelerator of ideas led by Design Thinking and, last but not least, the special bookshop by OnPrintedPaper with Abitare.
