Brera in Brera | Marco Merigo

The project brief aimed at provision of the a functional layout for the complex of Brera in Milan. It focuses on renovating the monumental complex as an exposition space. The strategic location of the complex in the nucleus of Milan and its historic importance as a cultural quarter, attracts various artists and tourist in the city. The intervention was structured in two phases: Phase 1 - To identify and outline an integrated urban and architectural solution in coherence with the functional organisation and governance mechanism for the complex. Phase 2 - The second phase focused on evaluation of the applied solution considering the practical aspects such as mobility, structure and feasibility of the project. This intervention proposes a multi functional exposition space made highly permeable and porous to the city and its users. The project has three main components: the central court, the painting gallery and the exterior spaces.
