Studio Albori. A Practice Based in Milan. Radical Reuse

The essay examines the work of Studio Albori, a Milan-based practice active since the early 1990s, highlighting a design approach grounded in the radical reuse of materials and the transformation of the existing built environment. Through selected projects, it shows how reuse and upcycling function as both methodological and expressive tools, integrating environmental, social, and economic concerns. Studio Albori’s architecture emerges as an open and explicit process, in which the construction site becomes a space of experimentation and the resulting language balances anonymity with aesthetic intent.
