Architectures of Freedom brings Milan’s modern architecture into dialogue with clothing as its most essential form. Through Bianca Felicori’s Forgotten Architecture, the city is seen as an archive of both visible and overlooked structures. Within this framework, Weronica Wolinska’s intervention and the K-Way imaginary transform the wall into a light, waterproof membrane. Permanence and temporality, mass and lightness come into dialogue, suggesting new possible forms of architecture.
