Milan Architecture Guide

Milan holds 3 buildings across 6 architectural styles, from Luigi Moretti's Brutalist-Rationalist residential complex on Corso Italia to Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest — two buildings that bookend Italy's evolving ideas about urban housing across half a century.

Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi's Monte Amiata Housing Complex at Gallaratese adds a Structuralist-Brutalist layer: a monumental arcade that turns social housing into urban theory made concrete. Milan's compact catalogue captures a city where architectural ambition consistently focuses on how people live together in density.
