The date is getting closer and closer. On Saturday May 9th Fondazione Prada will open its permanent headquarters in Milan, a unique place that is already anticipated to be one of the city’s highlights. Fashionistas and not just them are eagerly counting the days to the grand opening, in view of the grandeur of the project, which was designed by the OMA firm led by starchitect Rem Koolhaas. It is an incredible experiment of shared art engaged in a constant conversation between past and future. The complex architectural layout, in fact, combines seven existing buildings with three new constructions (Podium, Cinema and Tower), for a total of 19 thousand square metres, and is the result of the renovation of a former distillery in the south east area of the city, in Largo Isarco, which dates back to the 1910s and has been completed redesigned by the OMA firm. In addition to the exhibition spaces, the facility will house a cinema, a theatre, the Prada archive and a space designated for children’s education at the entry – developed with the students of the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Versailles Bar Luce, designed by the US film director Wes Anderson, which recreates the atmosphere of a historical Milanese coffee shop and is set to become the meeting point of Milan’s chichi set. An extraordinary space and a complex project, for which the celebrated fashion house required the best. So for air-conditioning of the complex, the choice was to use Sabiana AHU and Fan Coils, to assure superior technological level and aesthetic quality of the appliances.
