Venice Studio lands in Milan — and it’s doing so in style, right in the heart of Zona Tortona. A unique opportunity to take center stage at Milan Design Week 2026 by designing and building full-scale urban installations alongside some of the most exciting international architecture and design studios.
Venice Studio Milan is an intensive training program designed for students, recent graduates, and young professionals in architecture and design. Structured in two distinct yet complementary phases, it combines conceptual design with hands-on experimentation in public space.
June 16–27, 2025 | Zona Tortona, Milan
Over two weeks, you’ll work side by side with renowned architects and designers to develop site-specific installations for the urban environment. Each studio will propose its own brief, giving you the chance to explore diverse methods, approaches, and contemporary visions of architecture.
The final outcome? A professional project, ready to be built, publicly presented and featured as part of Milan Design Week 2026.
