◾ Guided by BALANCE Architettura

Bicocca Superlab transforms a former industrial building in Milan’s Bicocca district into a contemporary workplace. By preserving and revealing the original steel and concrete structure, the project explores how adaptive reuse, innovative materials and sustainable design can give existing architecture a new life. The visit offers the chance to discover the building alongside its architects and learn about the ideas and decisions behind its transformation. To ensure a comfortable visit while the building remains in use, participants will be divided into two groups of approximately 15 people.
