#jpeg2: Fondazione Prada, Milan, Italy ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Something to note about this building, is the grid by which it was built in. When you look at the plan, you realize it was designed in a modular way, always giving the buildings the same amount of space (or modulation) to interact with the public. Never do you see too much space, or too little. But this grid keeps the spaces very well defined. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While walking around, you can also get the feeling of a primary and secondary axis. The primary happens at the lower floor, ranging left to right. Meaning that as soon as you walk into the project, the path you want to take is through the courtyards horizontally. The secondary axis is top to bottom, this happens when you're finally inside of each building. Since they're long and narrow, this configuration makes you want to walk vertically (in plan) and see all the exhibition and spaces. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of the most wonderful things I discovered while walking outside, is the fact that the windows are actually not placed in eye level. They're places above, to bring in light and don't allow people to see what is inside, adding a sense of mystery. When you're finally inside, it is only then that you can look out and see a view, but only contrasting with the art you have in front. . . . . . . . #architecture #design #interiordesign #art #architecturephotography #photography #travel #interior #architecturelovers #architect #archilovers #building #home #homedecor #ig #arquitectura #photooftheday #instagood #city #construction #decor #travelphotography #d #picoftheday #luxury #love #arquitetura #landscape #mariafloresarch https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hdUNqpxwn/?igshid=bw6ndp1brxh0
