Foundations

Fondazione Prada, Milan

The Milan venue of Fondazione Prada, conceived by architecture firm OMA, led by Rem Koolhaas, expands the repertoire of spatial typologies in which art can be exhibited and shared with the public.

Largo Isarco 2, Milan, Italy

Fondazione Prada presents exhibitions realised in dialogue with contemporary artists merging different cultural domains like cinema, philosophy, and architecture.

Characterized by an articulated architectural configuration which combines seven existing buildings with three new structures (Podium, Cinema and Torre), the venue is the result of the transformation of a distillery dating back to the 1910’s.

The Prada Collection, comprising mostly of works from the 20th and 21st centuries is a resource of perspectives and of potential energy. In the project conceived by OMA, two conditions coexist: preservation and the creation of a new architecture which, although separate, confront each other in a state of permanent interaction.
