Let's DOS, Discover, Own, Share!!!: @City of Milan

The first and only diffuse district of design week

The projects developed by designers and companies in the field, will overlap with the surrounding environment, and can be viewed on smartphones through Instagram or Facebook, with the possibility of being saved, shared and repositioned elsewhere, thus generating a new level of exhibition. The project is developed on the border between the physical and digital worlds, in a hybrid dimension called "phygital" that constitutes an experimental research ground for designers and companies. Among the selected designers are: D.O.S. Design Open Spaces, 23Bassi, Birkàs Mona, Cosentino, Damiano Latini, Eunice Choi, FLO - Felloni Lateral Office, Gonzalo Bascuñan, Green Design, Han Han, Isato Prugger, Jongha Choi, Lãs Project, Letizia Artioli, Lispi, Philippe Bietenholz, Sedno Studio, Valcucine.

Let's Unite: @Bobino+Piazzale Porta Genova / Headquarters

Milan's first augmented square

Interactive Square: Italy's first phygital square, a place of people and transit showcases new dimensional and narrative levels. Small urban living rooms, set up with furniture by the company Macevi1928 become an opportunity for exchange, observation, and relationship.

A grid will emerge from the floor, signaling paths and experiential densities in addition to being an active surface for access to "The Square that isn't there," an augmented reality experience that will allow immersion in an urban space dense with suggestions and elements not visible to the naked eye. Some of the pre-existing elements of the square will seek new forms of relationship with people: benches, plants and street signs will communicate through qr-codes and NFC tags with those who decide to experience time in the square according to new dynamics, new speeds, as will the Made of Matter tower, which will come to life through augmented reality. Finally, the company 13Design will propose a display of 3-D printed objects that will appear as extrusions of the pavement according to a principle of variation, developing into seemingly random shapes and twists that will allow the visitor to question the theme of the appropriation of time and space. Among the realities present in the initiative: 13Design, Macevi1928, Made of Matter and a selection of the best AR experiences of the designers who will exhibit in the city.

Vireal Restoration: Design becomes a driver of reactivation of abandoned spaces. The old Porta Genova station comes back to life thanks to a collaboration with the "Bobino Milano" venue. Inside is a functional hybrid that combines mundanity with research, all held together by phygital dynamics that expand the boundaries of physical reality. Interactive exhibitions, tactile experiences, games and events for a renewed social n.0. During the week, D.O.S. Design Open Spaces, the innovative startup at the heart of the whole project, celebrates its first year of official establishment through an event in which to meet the players of Pixel City, an operating community that unites and generates innovative projects in different areas, from fashion to design, crossing the territories of art, sustainability, and all other areas of contemporary culture. Among the realities featured in the initiative: ORGANICS by Red Bull, 13Design, Macevi1928, Sfashion-net, Jongha Choi, Green Design, Made of Matter, and a selection of the best AR experiences of the designers who will exhibit in the city.
