On May 26, 2025, Ordine degli Architetti di Milano hosts the public event Radical Flows – Milano Campus Diffuso.
Radical Flows is a bottom-up movement that works on public space in Milan by promoting safe routes, green mobility, shared areas, and new spaces for community and connection. The initiative imagines a network of generative places designed to serve both students and residents. It is the result of ongoing reflections by a group of activists, architects, and landscape designers, in collaboration with major public and private universities and civic associations. The project is officially supported by the Municipality of Milan.
Professor Edoardo Croci, SUR Lab Director, will attend as a speaker offering an institutional perspective on urban challenges and urban regeneration.
The event is open to all (registration required here) and grants 2 continuing education credits to architects.
