Project Description
MILAN
The vanguard of Italian architecture
Milan, capital of Lombardy, is a city steeped in history everywhere. From the Roman colony of San Lorenzo, through the Paleochristian basilicas of Sant’Ambrogio, San Nazaro in Brolo, San Simpliciano and Sant’Eustorgio — which still stand today –, to the modern and contemporary constructions of the current period of architectural activity caused by Expo 2015 and signed by renowned international architects.
Milan has important ambassadors in the world of architecture such as Massimiliano Fuksas and Renzo Piano and with works of architects of all nationalities including: the Porta Nuova business district, the residential and business district Citylife, the new building of the Università Bocconi all’Ansaldo, within the City of Culture, and the Nuovo Fondazione Prada Museum of contemporary art. All of this makes Milan an architectural center in full boil that must not be missed.
Choose from one of our tours oriented to design, urbanism and architecture, or ask one of our architects to prepare a customized itinerary. All our guides are professional architects.

Dear.
My name is Jeff Kim, an architect in S.Korea.
I run an architecture tour company in S.Korea and my group have visited Italy several times to study marvelous architectures around Rome, Florence, Venice, Vicenza.
Upcoming 25th Feb, my korean architecture students and korean architects fellows are having a plan to visit Milan to see modern architectures in Milan.
We are interested in the modern milan city, such as velasca tower, bosco verticale, citylife, Mudec.. etc.
Usually we accompany architects to guide us but we don’t have any network in Milan so we’re looking for a guide in Milan. A Italy-licensed guide will follow us and she will interpret Italian to korean. So Language is no problem for us.
The number of people: 17 (9 adults, 7 students, 1 child)
Date: 25 Feb. 2024
Time: 09:00-17:00
Theme: Modern Milan Architecture.
Difficulties: average.
I’m looking forward to see you.
From Jeff Kim.
