Milan's Modern Architecture

Milan's urban landscape showcases a transition from post-war rationalism to contemporary high-rise development. This selection features Gio Ponti’s 1950s Pirelli Skyscraper, an icon of slim-line design, alongside the 161-meter Palazzo Lombardia complex. The collection also highlights mid-century religious architecture, including Vico Magistretti’s circular church in the experimental QT8 district and 20th-century parish churches in the northern metropolitan area, illustrating the city's history of structural experimentation and functionalist aesthetics.
