This is the first bona fide retrospective devoted to Gae Aulenti (1927 – 2012), one of the most representative practitioners of contemporary architecture and design. In her over 60-year career, the multitalented designer worked in various fields: from design on an urban scale to exhibition design, landscape architecture, interior decoration, furniture design, graphics and set design. The exhibition presents her career in both an analytical and striking way to convey her personal mode of seeing, imagining and designing reality, which left its mark on several Italian and foreign contexts in the second half of the 20th century. The itinerary is composed of a sequence of rooms reproduced on a 1:1 scale, with the aid of original materials (drawings, photographs, models) from the architect’s Milanese archive.
