Milan Design Week 2026: Must-See Installations, Exhibitions, and Events

Reyyan Dogan — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 06:30:00 +0000

From April 20 to 26, Milan Design Week 2026 returns as a citywide platform where design operates as both a cultural practice and a form of exploration. Framed by the Fuorisalone theme "Be the Project," this year's edition shifts the focus from outcome to process, positioning design as a dynamic, human-centered act shaped by intuition, responsibility, and transformation. Installations and exhibitions across the city foreground making as an open-ended condition, one that embraces error, temporality, and experimentation as integral to creative production. Within this context, design becomes a space of exchange between disciplines, materials, and intelligences, reflecting broader conversations around sustainability, emerging technologies, and the evolving relationship between the physical and the digital.

Through these materials, the publication highlights Ando's enduring focus on the relationship between hand, thought, and space.

Japanese architect Shigeru Ban stands out in the architectural world for his commitment to socially responsible design , his eagerness to respond to disaster-related emergencies, and his creativity in adapting solutions to local conditions.

The multilingual edition features texts in English, French, and German, and will become available on June 14, 2024.

If we ever wonder what the future could look like, all we have to do is take a look into our past, and observe how far we have come since thousands, a hundred, or even ten years ago. Life was radically different back then and it will be just as different in the future. And since we are well aware that the future merely resembles the present, we have the possibility to shape our future the way we want to. TASCHEN's latest BIG book installment Formgiving. An Architectural Future History explores the past, present, and future, drawing a timeline of the built environment from taking shape to giving form.
