The project is located in the heart of the new financial district of Milan, near Garibaldi train station and piazza Gae Aulenti.
As such it sits at the intersection of the older, traditional Milan and the new “glass and steel” district that has transformed the city.
Our design tries to capture this unique context as well as acknowledging the prominent corner the building stands on.

DESIGN GaS Studio
The project involves the conversion and renovation of a building that previously housed a movie theatre, no longer in operation, the ex Ariston. It involves the construction of a multipurpose cultural centre with an auditorium, a library, reading rooms and dining spaces.
GaS opted to keep the envelope of the building, emptying the contents and redesigning the space in order to create a sense of lightness and openness, and most importantly transparency to the community which it serves.
