The adaptive project is the guiding thread of the lecture by Filippo Pagliani, invited by the Order of Architects in Monza to introduce the most recent projects of Park Associati. Natural adaptivity is reflected in architectures, not just spontaneous or traditional ones. Even the contemporary integrated project has to deal with the architectural density and stratification on the territory, especially the urban one, to find its own life in time and space.

The theme oft the Italian Design Day 2020 is „Driving the future“, Development, Innovation, Sustainability, Beauty. Michele’s lecture “Well-being in the Workplace“, deals with important changes the working environment has undergone recently. These aspects are even more important in light of the Covid 19 pandemic. The case study is the urban transformation that has interested Milan in the last 10 years, which has led to a reappraisal of the working environment in the city with different strategies. The emergence of new working communities has led to the creation of efficient and innovative buildings and, at the same time, the redevelopment of the post-war and modern architecture heritage, to which Milan bears witness like no other Italian city.
