Mapping the city: pre-presentation

For mapping the city project, a route between Headquarters of the Federazione del Fasci Milanesi and Triennale di Milano had to be administered. My group and I began our journey on Piazza S. Sepolcro where the headquarters is and ended at Emilio Alemagna where the Triennale is. Even though Triennale was build before the headquarters, this pathway of journey enabled us to better interpret these two important buildings. When doing our first walk, we didn’t have any idea of how to best interpret our journey. Starting at the piazza, we were reminded by how suppressing the feeling of just being there felt like. Standing tall as the 9th century church in front of it, the headquarters was the political center of Mussolini when fascism ruled Italy. Going further, we passed the stock exchange area where the financial district of Milan is. After that, we came across bunch of shops and cafes where the daily interactions takes place. Then we saw a community with parking garage with some cafes as well and people jogging around. Next, Cordona station was sighted with a park sighted right before our last stop, Triennale. When stopping at Triennale, we felt we were more in an open environment without feeling suppressed.
