One week in Milan for @milan.design.week , and I’m still processing it.
Being part of Live Camp-ing at BASE Milano (@base_milano @_lemonot ), sharing a terrace with 19 other students, sleeping in tents, waking up at 3am because the cold had other plans, was definitely not what I expected design week to look like. But it was exactly what it needed to be.
I watched that terrace transform every single day. Quiet and slow in the mornings, then full of people, energy, and conversations by evening. Strangers swapping Fuorisalone tips, seasoned MDW goers and first-timers finding common ground, nights at the bar stretching longer than they should have.
Somewhere in all of it, I started seeing design week differently. Not just through the installations, but through the people and the unexpected places the conversations led.
The terrace became a kind of home. And I didn’t want to leave.
Day 1 at Milan Design Week with @royalcollegeofart
Moving through exhibitions, temporary worlds, and new spatial obsessions. #milandesignweek
We first met Annabelle Schneider @annabellesbubble in Miami Design Week in 2023.She was presenting VR. We were presenting TILLY AI.Both of us exploring how digital tools might be used in the service of care.
Since then, Schneider has moved from showingin a tiny room in. Miami Alcova to one of the most ambitious installations in Milan this year with @usmmodularfurniture
She calls it a Renaissance of the Real, a response to a world increasingly dominated by speed, screens and endless images.
Instead of producing another product, she has created an immersive environment that asks us to slow down, feel again, and reconnect with our bodies and each other.
This breathing pavilion is a beautiful example of how architecture can support the nervous system.
The structure literally expands and contracts with the wind,introducing biomorphic motion, the kind of slow natural movement our bodies instinctively read as safe.
Underfoot, the soft floor creates gentle proprioceptive stimulation, sensory feedback that helps regulate us through the body.
The irregular forms, stitched seams, unexpected voids and vibrant bursts of colour create novel sensory engagement, awakening curiosity, presence and emotional responsiveness.
The entire structure is inflated using just four fans.
And perhaps the most moving next chapter: Schneider plans to bring this work into hospices for the dying, projecting gentle imagery inside the bubble to create softness, comfort and dignity at the end of life.
A reminder that design does not only need to perform.
It can soothe. It can hold. It can care.

Day 2 of Milan Design Week & our first roundtable at BASE Milano.
Yesterday, we had the pleasure of inviting Uau Studio founder Gianluca and artist Lucrezia to our terrace to share their thoughts, ideas, and observations drawn from their work. It turned into an inspiring afternoon of conversation 🤗🍹🍻.
Thank you both for joining us!@lucrezia.alessandroni .alessandroni @uaustudiodesign

LIVE CAMP-ING
A TEMPORARY COMMUNITY ABOVE THE CITY
For one week, 20 students from the @royalcollegeofart will inhabit the Terrace of @base_milano , transforming it into a living urban campsite.
A place to co-live, observe, and experiment.
A space where design becomes experience, research, and exchange.
WHY A CAMPSITE?
Because camps are spaces where rules shift.
Where living together becomes a tool to question how we inhabit the world.

Ma quando riapre la terrazza di BASE? Abbiamo aspettato la Design Week per rispondere.
E sì, sta riaprendo con il Live Camp-ing di @_lemonot: un esperimento di vita collettiva con 20 studenti dall'RCA di Londra. Entra anche tu nel vivo della loro ricerca ogni pomeriggio alle 16. Ci vediamo su?

Design Practice unit Lead Dr Helena Rivera (of @a_small_studio) writes on what it means to practise design from inside crisis — not from a safe distance.
Published on @archinect her article makes the case for a different kind of practitioner: one who is empathetic rather than detached, led by communities rather than leading them, and intimate with the political life of materials.
This is the pedagogical commitment at the heart of the new MArch Design Practice at the RCA — a programme that does not want to teach a “greener” version of what already exists, but something constitutionally different.
Crisis as closeness.

Bringing together human rights and environmental crisis, @elinor.henry’s work for MA Interior Design used imagined aquatic ecosystems as a way of staging interactions between queerness and power.
Elinor majored in the MA Interior Design’s @superfutures.rca platform of speculative spatial design, is a graduate of our Graduate Diploma in Art & Design, and her study on MA Interior Design was supported by an RCA Scholarship.

🤔 Exploring Venice beyond the postcard with our MA Architecture student, @studio.candis…
Recently, Candis travelled to Venice with her MA Architecture classmates to find out how the city is shaped by labour, housing and environmental change with local residents, activists and architects.

💡💬 Call for Contributions: Architecture at the RCA 1951–1995
Yanqi Huang, PhD student at the School of Architecture, is currently working on an AHRC-funded research project titled “Pedagogies, Professionalism and Practice: Architectural Education at the Royal College of Art 1951–1995.”
The project explores the transformation of architectural education and practice in post-war Britain through an institutional biography of the RCA’s architecture department. Drawing on archival research, biographical studies of lesser-known contributors, and oral history interviews, it investigates the architectural culture cultivated at the RCA and how it was disseminated through teaching, public programmes, and built work.
Yanqi is keen to connect with individuals who studied or taught architecture at the RCA between 1951 and 1995, including those involved in Interior Design, Environmental Design, and Architectural Design. He is particularly interested in speaking with people who would be willing to take part in interviews as part of the research.
He also welcomes contact from anyone who holds archives or student work from this period, has materials related to the post-war RCA, or simply recalls encounters with tutors such as Hugh and Margaret Casson, H.T. Cadbury-Brown, Terence Conran, Tom Kay, Margaret Dent, John Miller, Su Rogers, Kenneth Frampton, Edward Jones, Christopher Cross, Derek Walker, James Gowan, Kit Allsopp and Trevor Denton.
All contributions – large or small – are warmly welcomed. Please feel free to get in touch via email: yanqi.huang@network.rca.ac.uk.
