Building the Expo

Available exclusively on DomusWeb, the digital catalogue of the exhibition “Building the Expo”, presented in March at the Fiera and created by the Milan Polytechnic with MADE Expo.

Creating a connection between the MADE Expo trade fair, focused on materials, components and building technologies, and the 2015 Milan Universal Exposition, the exhibition “Building the Expo” presented the schemes of the various pavilions approaching completion, highlighting aspects of construction and the materials specified.

From the collection of drawings, sketches, assembly details, samples, prototypes, videos and site photos emerges a broad and varied overall picture that clearly identifies the nature of this ephemeral architecture.
