LR100. RINASCENTE. Stories of Innovation

Quest’anno la Rinascente festeggia i 100 anni del suo nome, ideato da Gabriele D’Annunzio. Cominciava così una storia fatta di passione, talento e capacità di visione tale da suscitare, a partire dai primi del Novecento, un impatto innovativo sui modelli di consumo e sull’evoluzione che portò Milano ad affermarsi come motore economico dell’Italia postunitaria.

Attraverso un’eccezionale varietà e quantità di opere d’arte, grafica, oggetti di design, immagini storiche e contributi inediti,il pubblico potrà scoprire come la Rinascente abbia scritto capitoli importanti nella storia del costume, della comunicazione e della grande distribuzione.

Quando: Dal 24 Maggio al 24 Settembre
Dove: Palazzo Reale, Milano

Una mostra davvero notevole che, attraverso 11 stanze allestite ciascuna come un’esperienza a sé, accompagna attraverso il significato che La Rinascente ha ricoperto per la storia della moda, del design, dell’architettura, della pubblicità e di Milano. Andateci, se pensate che sia solo un grande magazzino.

The SSR of Beautiful Models: Stewardship, Structure and Responsibility

“Advanced BIM”: what does that even mean? “Advanced BIM” is one of those expressions that sound authoritative and yet, when you ask what it actually describes, the answers become very vague very quickly. The statement doesn’t mean anything, and it drives me crazy equally quickly.
