We've been soooo busy in the last few months! Extremely excited to work on a new project in Porto Cervo, Sardinia which is now taking me to Italy a lot more often!
During one of my recent trips I had the chance to re-visit Milan! What a gorgeous city full of life and tremendous expectations!
Milan is where the next International Exposition has been scheduled and the city is totally involved in getting everything ready for the grand opening on May 1st, 2015.
This is the second time that Milan is hosting the EXPO, the first being the Milan International of 1906.
The first of a series of World's Fair exhibitions of culture and industry was The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations or The Great Exhibition held in Hyde Park, London, from May 1st to October 11th, 1851.
International Expositions became particularly popular in the 19th-century showcasing in cities like Paris, New York, Sydney.
Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life is the theme of EXPO 2015. Representing and displaying how creativity, infrastructure, technology, innovation, culture, traditions relate to food, recipes and diet. Totally ideal for Italy where you can find some of the best design and top food!
20 millions visitors are expected to visit EXPO 2015 between May and October. The site located near Rho and Pero covers an area of approx. 200 hectares.
The concept plan for the Expo 2015 site was designed by a team of four architects which includes Stefano Boeri, Mark Rylander, Richard Burdett, and Jacques Herzog.
140 nations plus a significant number of international organizations will be represented through pavilions, an amphitheatre, design works, external spaces, artworks, food and new technologies.
The works on site is carrying out at speedy pace. Deadlines are getting tighter and tighter! I'm keeping track of the different projects and event updates following the official Twitter and Instagram accounts of EXPO 2015 @Expo2015Milano.
I'm so looking forward to buying my ticket and book my flight to Milan! Am I seeing you there..!??!
Ciao!
