Abstract
Villa Prada: Sculpting Time is a proposal for a new sculpture museum on the current site of the Fondazione Prada for the client Prada in Milan. The project explores how architecture can give visitors more freedom in the way they experience a collection. Rather than following a fixed route, visitors can move through the museum in different ways and create their own connections between classical and contemporary sculpture=non-linear. Inspired by the idea of a villa, the design combines galleries, terraces, and a sculpture garden into one continuous experience. Through multiple routes and visual connections, the museum becomes a place that encourages exploration, discovery, and personal interpretation.
