Post-Industrial Chic - Bicocca (Milan)

The Bicocca quarter has been synonymous with industry ever since Pirelli pumping out tires there at the beginning of the twentieth century. Pirelli itself has been the promoter of the area's redevelopment project, assigned to the Gregotti Associati International studio and including many culture-related architectural interventions. Developers have been attempting to convert postindustrial areas into fruitful social nodes all over the world. The cheap real estate and governmental support making it easy for them to try and make a few bucks.
