Located in the historic Cortile della Farmacia courtyard at the University of Milan, this innovative structure, designed by MAD architects, exemplifies the fusion of advanced materials and cutting-edge design.

The 7.5-meter-height pavilion, inspired by the shape of a mountain, stands as a testament to the possibilities of modern architectural design.

Comprising hundreds of triangular elements, the structure is entirely self-supporting and devoid of internal columns, creating an open, inviting space for visitors.
