Mies van der Rohe Award 2024: Affordable Housing Towers Nominee!

We are honored that our Affordable Housing Towers in Milan have been Nominee in the Mies van der Rohe Award 2024: https://miesarch.com/work/5418

From the EUMIes Award: "Design for the public good. The project is critical of the concept of the gated community. By pulling down the fence, C+S Architects gives back a square to the community, which is designed in material and chromatic continuity with the towers which underlines the importance of sharing collective spaces as a key point to strengthen the community's identity."

#CSARCHITECTSPRODUCTS

Milano Design Week 2023

"Skin is the name we have chosen for the new .Elmar kitchen system. We have designed a frame, which is also the handle of the system. Everyone has such a direct experience of the handle that they don't care, like those gestures we are used to making without thinking about it, we go in and out without pausing, but if we go to its essence, the handle is synonymous with freedom.The thrill of discovery when the wine cellar opens during an informal business meeting, the colors of the vegetables that flood the space while preparing dinner together, the scent of a surprise cake prepared for the arrival of the kids after the school that pervades the room… It's that handle, that detail we don't care about, that little sign that gives us these emotions. In conceiving the new Skin kitchen for .Elmar, we started from the handle because the handle is the very moment that puts the kitchen and its skin in relation. The handle draws also the structure of Skin. Horizontal. Vertical. aligned. At intervals. An open structure to be freely completed with richness of the materials of the doors (wood, steel, glass) or with flavors, smells and colors that explode at the touch of the hand. The Skin system is then a skin in the richest sense of the term" - Carlo Cappai, Maria Alessandra Segantini

#CSARCHITECTSEXHIBITIONS

Big Opening today with BG23!

We are honored to exhibit at Palazzo delle Libertà in Bergamo our project for the new GAMeC Art Museum, which will start contruction soon! Curated by Luca Molinari, the exhibition collects some of our first sketchesi as well as the final execution drawings... 

Our design has always an urban stand. It is not limited to the 6,000sqm building, instead it extends to the surrounding piazza. Art is evolving towards a participatory and emotional use, the reason why we push it outside the gallery to invade the public domain.  Architecture has the role of recognising and improving abandoned spaces and retrofit is a resilient tool to translate the past and transform it into a resource for the community. Opening today at 6:00pm
