Sistemazione di piazza San Babila

Completed in the late 1990s, the redesign of Piazza San Babila formed part of Milan’s program to improve key public spaces in the historic center. A fountain ensemble—defined by an oval element, a truncated pyramidal volume, and a central basin—structures the square and guides pedestrian flows. Water movement is paired with tactile stone surfaces, using porphyry and other stones to enrich everyday experience. The project emphasizes human scale and continuity with the surrounding porticoes.
