An example of how an urban void can be recovered through architecture, to transform it into a pulsating place of life and innovation: The Milano LUISS Hub for makers and students is the result of a conversion project for an ex-industrial area in Zona Garibaldi, an events space dedicated to training, to school-work training and a start-up incubator.
