Registrations are now open at prada-frames.com
Prada presents the 2024 Prada Frames symposium, exploring the complex interaction between design and the environment.
For its third edition ‘‘Being Home’, Prada Frames examines the living environment as a framework to address contemporary challenges. The home is not merely a source of comfort; it acts as a shelter and an infrastructure of services. This constantly evolving space is also where socio-economic norms have historically been shaped.
Prada Frames brings together scholars and professionals from various fields, including anthropologists, architects, scientists, activists, designers, curators and legal and economic experts —deploying a transdisciplinary methodology and a shared environmentally attentive approach. The collective effort aims to frame, analyze, contextualize and define new perspectives on a plethora of themes.
The event takes place from Sunday, April 14, through Tuesday, April 16, at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum in Milan, located at Via Gesù 5.
The venue, a residence until 1974, is a nineteenth-century neo-Renaissance house featuring fifteenth and sixteenth-century objects and furniture. It is a unique example of overlapping centuries and stands as an early example of Milanese design. For this occasion, the house will open its doors for intimate conversations and thematic lectures. The sessions are simultaneously hosted in the living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom, and library, creating an uninterrupted exchange of information across the space.
The event is free, subject to availability.
Prada Frames: Being Home will also be available as an audio series, starting from April 17, 2024 on Koozarch.com, Spotify and Apple Podcast.
