A visit to this part of the city is a trip through the Italian economic boom but also through the destruction of World War II, which caused so much damage in Milan that it created new city space where modern architecture could shine. Walking through the quarter, you can see the biology complex designed for the University of Milan by Vico Magistretti, the Architecture complex designed for the same university by Giordano Forti, Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi and the church of San Pio X designed by Giuseppe Chinigher.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The area was already home to an interesting collection of new buildings. Indeed, with the activity of the Politecnico, the neighbourhood was brought to life in the first part of the 20th century, one of the architectural gems from that time being Piero Portaluppi\u2019s Casa Corbellini-Wassermann, now the location of my gallery. Before that, in the 1920s, the engineers Molinari and Danusso and the architect Nicoli built one of the most intriguing buildings of the period, which was immediately nicknamed, with typical Milanese perspicacity, \u201cThe Kremlin\u201d for its Soviet style and its pinnacles and domes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1567159514841.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14805\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1567159514841.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1567159514841-300x199.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1567159514841-150x99.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/1567159514841-768x509.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>Giuliana Ronzoni Institute called &#8220;the Kremlin&#8221;, Via G.

A short stair leads to three portals that open onto a grey stone wall, an atypical choice for church architecture. The design was inspired by the archetypical form of the hut, in a return to the origins of religiosity, but also a symbol of simplicity and rigour, as Ponti himself explained: \u201cbuilding a church is a little like rebuilding religion, restoring its essence\u201d. Inside, pillars and beams trace a geometric fabric bathed in the natural light that filters in through glass bricks. The atmosphere is timeless and intense: Gio Ponti\u2019s church is the apex of a walk through the neighbourhood in search of modernist architecture.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Milano_chiesa_San_Luca_Evangelista_facciata.jpeg\" alt=\"Gio Ponti in Citt\u00e0 Studi\" class=\"wp-image-14808\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Milano_chiesa_San_Luca_Evangelista_facciata.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Milano_chiesa_San_Luca_Evangelista_facciata-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Milano_chiesa_San_Luca_Evangelista_facciata-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/italics.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Milano_chiesa_San_Luca_Evangelista_facciata-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Church of S.
