Fondazione Prada
Fondazione Prada stands in Largo Isarco, in southern Milan. The cultural complex brings contemporary art, cinema, photography, philosophy, dance, and architecture together across restored and new spaces. Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli founded the institution in 1993.
OMA, led by Rem Koolhaas, shaped the site around an early twentieth-century gin distillery and three new buildings. Seven existing structures accompany the Podium, Cinema, and Torre. The grounds cover 19,000 square metres, with 11,000 square metres devoted to exhibitions.
The white-concrete Torre rises 60 metres and contains five exhibition floors presenting works from the Prada Collection through Atlas. Ristorante Torre occupies the sixth floor and overlooks Milan. Bar Luce, designed by Wes Anderson, adds a nostalgic old-Milan setting, while the Accademia dei bambini offers a learning space for children.
