International Museum Day 2026 — Museums Uniting a Divided World
In a fragmented world, the museum returns to its role as civic infrastructure. Not a neutral container, but a space capable of generating connection, knowledge, belonging. A cultural device that brings together people, memories, differences.
Three projects.
Three ways of building that place.
Three kinds of wonder — scientific, collective, emotional.
MNAST — National Museum of Science and Earth, Rabat, Morocco. Knowledge as shared heritage, grounded in the territory.
PM23 — Rome. A cultural space born from the vision of Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti: art, fashion, identity, open to all. Beauty as a civic gesture.
Italian Pavilion · Expo Milan 2015 — A sculpture-architecture inspired by the urban forest. Photocatalytic concrete, light, innovation. Contemporary Italy shown to the world.
Three different scales.
Three forms of collective experience.
One idea: architecture as the construction of awareness.
