This project is the result of a Univesity Contest for the creation of a new temporary exhibition pavillion in the square opposite the historical campus of Milan Polytechnic. As Christo and Jeanne-Claude do with their works, the pavillion is situated exactly in front of its main facade “covering” it. This provocative choise wants to make people aware of the importance of the University among the community. The building, 5m wide x 15m tall x 150m long, hosts a number of expositive rooms reachable throgh a network of ramps and stairs.
