Andrea Branzi by Toyo Ito Continuous Present

Together with Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, we present a monographic exhibition dedicated to Andrea Branzi—architect, designer, professor, theorist, critic, curator, and artist—one of the central figures in Italian design culture and project thinking between the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Through the lens of Japanese architect and Pritzker Prize laureate Toyo Ito, the exhibition highlights the Italian designer’s most significant themes and projects. The exhibition brings installations, objects, and drawings into dialogue, emphasizing key aspects of Branzi’s thinking—such as fragility, hybridity, and planetary coexistence—within a biographical framework. It also retraces his connection with Triennale Milano and the Fondation Cartier, and includes an installation dedicated to No-Stop City (1969–72), a seminal project of radical thought on the contemporary metropolis.
