We are a team of architects based in Milan working in the field of architectural design with strong focus on the housing topic with projects spanning from interiors to masterplans. The team members have studied and worked in Italy and across Europe.

From 2017 to 2021 he worked at DROM in Rotterdam where he collaborated on the implementation of projects at different project scales. In particular, he followed masterplans for residential and industrial complexes, recovery and rehabilitation of residential buildings and interior design in Russia, Belgium and the Netherlands, including the winning proposal for the Europan14 competition in Amsterdam. He is a partner of the AROUND architects studio.

The project starts by reflecting on the theme of new collective residences outside the perceived city walls as an “infinite set of small things,” examples of widespread residential models that constitute the daily life of living in less consolidated areas.
The research aims to map, catalogue and analyze building examples built or under construction between 2015 and 2025, reflecting on the current and future horizon of collective housing in Milan. In conjunction with the research, an open-source digital archive is launched, which collects the identified projects and will include future additions by the promoters or external contributors.
The 160 interventions identified are shown on the map, and an initial analysis using maps and thematic diagrams is proposed.
Thanks to the collaboration of the intervention designers and promoters, we are proceeding with the creation of an archive of thematic sheets dedicated to each project.
This research's preliminary results will be presented during the prestigious Milan Archweek 2024. This will provide a valuable resource for urban planners, architects, and researchers interested in collective housing and urban development in Milan
