A beautiful space dedicated to contemporary art and culture in Milan. I had the opportunity to visit Fondazione Prada some time ago and fall in love with this place, here are some of my photos, hope you enjoy them and if you are planning to visit Milan this is definitely a must visit.
“By introducing so many spatial variables, the complexity of the architecture will promote an unstable, open programming.”………… Rem Koolhaas
Gold Leaf
The Haunted House, a gallery dedicated to site-specific artworks has it’s entire exterior, including gutters and window mullions, refinished in 24-karat gold leaf, “We discovered that gold is actually a cheap cladding material compared to traditional claddings like marble and even paint,” said Koolhaas, “What I love is the way it contaminates the walls around it… The environment needed a little color.”
The library, shop, restaurant, even the bathroom… everything is a place to admire.
