DropCity

Dropcity

Dropcity offers a rare glimpse into prison interiors

Industrial tunnels behind Centrale Stazione have been reimagined as Dropcity, a hub for architectural research and experimentation conceived by local architect Andrea Caputo. Officially opening on April 3, just in time for Milan Design Week revelry, the space will welcome visitors with two exhibitions. Prison Times: Spatial Dynamics of Penal Environments peeks into jails around the world. Bruther.fbx on the other hand is an interactive dive into the practice of Bruther, the Paris- and Zurich-based studio founded by Stéphanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot behind such contemporary marvels as the New Research Generation Center in Caen.
