Stefano Boeri for mayor of Milan

…the Milanese architect, teacher, and magazine editor spoke tonight (being much more gracious than I would have been when the projector didn’t work and he wasn’t able to show his images) at the opening of the British School at Rome show BioMilano featuring six of his unbuilt projects, “Six ideas for a bio-diverse metropolis; six transitional states between the city, nature and agriculture; six energy sources for a new model of urban economics,” and though it is promising to see evidence of Italian architecture headed in more evolved directions, the most fascinating aspect is his 2010 run for mayor of Milan.
