The redevelopment project occupying the area of the former historic factories of Alfa Romeo and Lancia, (385,000 m2) along the Sempione-San Siro route, aims to mend the urban fabric, transforming it from a “closed” to a “fluid space”.
The architectural project includes three large units that make up an integrated settlement of residential, commercial and public service facilities, including a new public park.
In keeping with the architectural concept, the lighting plays on the volumes, and the choice was made to use pole-mounted fixtures bollard lights and incorporated fixture into the architecture.
The pedestrian and cycling bridge connecting the park to the residential and business area is illuminated by linear luminaires built into the structure, the new square (the largest in Milan) a lighting system with pole-mounted fixtures provides the general lighting of all the spaces, while the lower central building houses projector lamps built into the roofing to directly light the ceiling above and the surface of the square by reflection.

This section brings together a representative selection of lighting design projects in the architectural, museum, urban, cultural, retail, hospitality, and infrastructure sectors, both in Italy and abroad. The gallery documents projects of varying scale, function, and context, all sharing an approach to light as a tool for interpreting space, capable of engaging with architecture, artworks, landscape, and contemporary use.
The projects presented range from museums, foundations, and temporary exhibitions to historic buildings, places of worship, public spaces, and urban complexes, including corporate headquarters, private residences, yachts, and lighting masterplans. In each project, light is designed as a controlled material, calibrated to the characteristics of the location, its functional needs, and the perceptual quality of the experience.
Taken together, the collected works convey a vision of lighting design as an integrated process, in which technical rigor, cultural sensitivity, and attention to context contribute to the construction of spatial identity, orientation, and value. The gallery thus takes the form of a design map, capable of demonstrating how light can take on different roles—discrete or declared—while always maintaining coherence, measure, and design awareness.
