Chilean architecture studio Pezo von Ellrichshausen ( PvE ) created the pavilion within Milan’s baroque Palazzo Litta ( 1761 ) , described as a ‘ direct echo of its historical surroundings’.
The mirrored surface reflects the surrounding courtyard of the building in its two levels, the baroque colonnade, the corridor beyond, the two upper levels, as well as the stone pavement
Chiesa San Paolo Converso, is a 16th-century former Baroque church ( deconsecrated after World War II ) and convent in Piazza Sant’Eufemia on Corso Italia, not far from Milan’s celebrated Duomo
The recently opened CLS factory space inside the Converso church, hosted the installation “It’s All About Meal” by Massimiliano Locatelli which explored the concept of a new conviviality in domestic spaces
No one had dared to build anything inside the church—until Locatelli secured the lease – and by December 2014 had created a metal cocoon for his architectural studio without ever touching a single church wall.
