Via Dante. Cordusio. Piazza del Duomo. Milan / April 2011 / City of Milan
On the occasion of Expo 2015, this communicative urban installation represents the Nations that will join the international event.
The installation is meant to spread all over the city center area, growing with the Nations that will take part at the Expo along the years, starting from 2011.
The national ensigns are displayed in an original way in the Flags Boulevard, lining up along the walking artery that links the Duomo (Milano Cathedral) to the Castello Sforzesco (Sforza Castle).
The “Palo Milano” (Milano pole), a flexible, self-supporting and highly recognizable vertical element was conceived for this occasion and to be part of the urban rhythm, creating an in-progress installation. This flexible tool offers a sitting base able to transform streets into welcoming places where people can stop by and meet.
The central banner represents a reinterpretation of the all national flags together and shows a couple of slim side banners with the Italian, English and French names of the countries and a small original flag representation that makes every single national identity clearly recognizable.
After the Expo, “Palo Milano” will be left as an heritage to the City of Milano for future uses.
