Zero Gravity
Franco Albini Architetto
Costruire le modernità

The Milan Triennale and the DARC (Department for Contemporary Art and Architecture) present the exhibition Zero Gravity. Franco Albini. Costruire le modernità on the occasion of the centenary of birth of the Milanese architect and lecturer. The original exhibition design and layout by Renzo Piano (together with Franco Origoni) cleverly expresses the poetic significance of Franco Albini’s work in an ideal tribute to the great master from his great pupil. A suspended web of slim steel cables captures a collection drawings, photographs, models and audiovisual material. Following a chronological order through the Galleria spaces on the ground floor of the Triennale, the objective is to offer a new critical contribution to our understanding of one of the most important periods in Italian architecture. The exhibition, coordinated for the Triennale by Fulvio Irace, is organized around thematic sections entrusted to different curators: Macchine celibi: Albini e Mollino, curated by Fulvio Irace, La Città Nuova: Milano e l’architettura razionale, curated by Matilda Baffa, Spazi atmosferici: l’architettura degli allestimenti, curated by Federico Bucci, Gli oggetti dell’abitare, curated by Silvana Annicchiarico, Stanze della memoria, curated by Marco Albini, Modernità e tradizione, curated by Augusto Rossari, L’arte del porgere: il museo tra Albini e Scarpa, curated by Marco Mulazzani and Orietta Lanzarini, La tecnologia e la città, curated by Claudia Conforti,
