The Fiera Milano

CityLife is the retraining of the historic quarter of the Fiera Milano. The project is based on a mix of urban functions, public and private in nature, thus making an active place during the day, with the aim of proposing new models and paths to live, work, leisure and enjoy of services.

The Fiera Milano project is located in the heart of Milan, spanning 106 acres on the old fairgrounds of this historic city. Daniel Libeskind won the commission for master planner of the site in 2004 and is now working in collaboration with Zaha Hadid, Arata Isozaki and Pier Paolo Maggiora on the project. The scheme of Fiera Milano incorporates residential and office development, retail space and a museum all built around a central park - a much needed lung for the city. SDL will design not only the master plan, but the park, the museum of contemporary art, one of the office towers and the first housing area. The project is large in both scope and area and will ultimately create a new neighborhood in the cultural and historical context of Milan.
