RHO Expo 2015 Area Masterplanning Project
Experia is a sustainable urban redevelopment project, a new pole of attraction for Milan where research, health, innovation, culture, training and welfare are synergically integrated. In regenerating the legacy of Expo 2015, the Masterplan proposed by a multidisciplinary team involving international studies such as HOK and CMR Project has the objective of implementing the development of an urban landscape designed for and with the people who will live there. Starting from the concept of “urban mending” but also emotional and temporal, Experia creates new “urban vibrations” in an iconic polycentric and multifunctional complex extending throughout a linear park, the Park Experience.
Experia is a project aming to be the springboard for the Milan of the future: a smart, self-sufficient, multifunctional district and well connected to the city, a 360° model of sustainability capable of gradually expanding to the whole of Milan.
Arexpo’s Masterplan development involves the area where EXPO 2015 was held in Milan. The area covers an area of about 1,000,000 sqm and is located between two municipalities, Milan and Rho.
