room for dreams is now live at ME Milan Il Duca

Now open during Milan Design Week 2026, designboom’s ROOM FOR DREAMS takes over ME Milan Il Duca, transforming the Aldo Rossi-designed hotel at Piazza della Repubblica into a layered environment where installations, live talks, daily rituals, and film screenings unfold. Conceived as a temporary ecosystem, the project explores dreaming as a deliberate tool for social and cultural transformation, activating the building through a sequence of immersive, interconnected experiences.
