Journal 1 - Area (Milan, Italy)








This journal is published in Milan, Italy. It consists of many different series. I picked one of the series - Italian Hope, as it captured me with it's stunning abstract cover. And also i'm fascinated about italian architectural design, history, and religious belief/myths.

Unfortunately,this particular journal is in italian so i could not understand the journal. However, there are a lot of pictures of buildings and a few pages translated in english. This journal study the newest architecture proposal or buildings in italy and how architects preserve historical buildings. It also showcase the newest style and building era designed by famous italian architects.

One of the article that captured my attention is about the new Milan expo 2015. It's a new project where famous architects -Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Daniel Libeskind are planning to redesign the town of Milan. Their main purpose is to create functional building to accomodate people yet also recreational places for people to enjoy. The plan for this multipurpose complex is strongly emblematic, with its three futuristic towers: at the crossroads of important routes in the trade fair district, it will offer a spatial landmark and an important attraction due to the daring, highly expressive nature of the architecture.
