Drawing action. Milan
Exhibition.
MEET Digital Culture Center / Viale Vittorio Veneto 2. Milan / November 2024 / Drawing week
The exhibition “Drawing action. Studies by Ico Migliore on movement, time and sensations within architectural spaces” is part of the side events of the 4th edition of Milan Drawing Week, organised by Collezione Ramo in collaboration with and under the patronage of the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Milan.
The spaces of the MEET Digital Culture Center hosts a selection of drawings by Ico Migliore, co-founder of the Milanese design studio Migliore+Servetto together with Mara Servetto: 16 drawings from the Red Light Architecture collection are shown along with 16 sketchbook, which represent the importance of drawing on paper within the design process. The works show that which is not normally found in architectural drawings – the movement of people, their sensory perceptions and their interactions within space – accompanying audiences on an immersive journey that recounts the evolution of design thinking, transforming intuition and matter into a concrete work. Ico Migliore’s studies represent the visual script of three-dimensional projects, and they are able to capture the simultaneity of the different components that contribute to the creation of architectural and design projects. The proposed selection offers an immersion into the architect’s most intimate creative processes, where light is not simply a design material, but a perceptual medium that connects the real space to that represented. The result is the crystallisation of a timeless moment in which architecture emerges with strength, transfigured by a red filter through which light etches like a blade, to define volumes and pathways. This is a polyphonic light generated from different points, in which both natural light and artificial light converge in order to reveal objects, spaces and actions. In this perspective, the red colour of these drawings is a generative element of the architect’s poetics, evoking key concepts such as warmth, energy, attraction and dynamism.
