Hide n Seek (Prima Facie)
The project is inspired by the historical criticism around the Velasca but can accomodate all the contemporary hot topics; the narrative unfolds over 24 hours linking the day and night layouts of the building. The new facade is covered externally with a mirroring film which makes the Velasca disappear depending on the panel's layout and the hour of the day.

I liked the fact that the intervention is very delicate and respectful toward the surroundings. The used technology is sustainable and modern. I would think though, that it would be difficult to get it accepted by Milan residents because they are very proud of the building and wouldn't probably like the idea of wanting it to disappear.
