The reclamation of public space begins in the heart of Milan’s historic center: from the iconic place inspired by Salvatore Quasimodo, after 1.5 years of works during which 2,700 sqm of asphalt were removed.

It has been 35 years since Andreas Kipar and Giovanni Sala combined their expertise, skills, and professional paths to found LAND.
