ARIA - Ex Macello
For over sixty years it was an active market. Decommissioned in the 1990s and finally abandoned in 2005, the Ex Macello site is now coming back to life thanks to ARIA.
This urban regeneration project – winner of the 2020 Reinventing Cities competition – will create the first carbon-negative settlement in Milan, featuring 1,200 apartments, a 600-bed student residence, commercial activities, local services and higher-education centres hosting up to 4,500 students.
While construction progresses, the Ex Macello has already become a lively place again: temporary-use programs have turned it into a cultural and social hub with exhibitions, festivals, concerts, and research initiatives.
