A journey into future of infrastructure to reflect on the value of major works and the need to define a long-term development program in the sector, which is iable to improve the lives of current and future generations. This is the story of the exhibition Building the future. Infrastructures and benefits for people and territories inaugurated on March 3 and promoted by Webuild with Triennale Milanowhere it will stay open to the public free of charge until 26 March 2023. Present at the inauguration were Pietro Salini, managing director of Webuild, and Stefano Boeri, president of the Milan Triennale.
“Today there are in the country the willingness and need to changewe must concretely transform the possibilities that the National Recovery and Resilience Plan offers us (Pnrr) – declared Salini, managing director of Webuild -. There has often been lack of resourcesbut today we have no excuses and this opportunity confronts us with a great challenge, that of creating sustainable infrastructure and with them Work, giving a future to the next generations. When it is possible to build works such as the new Panama Canal, the highest dams in the world, the longest railways, high-speed lines, hospitals and roads, we must think that the limit to what we imagine is only temporal, not a matter of competence. Like theat the head of our Tbm Stefania,
which we exhibited right at the entrance to the exhibition for all citizens. Building infrastructure, with the sustainable awareness we have today, means generating value and beauty for territories and people”, Salini concluded.
“The theme of great works is intertwined with the development of life quality and with the redistribution in the territory of the infrastructures essential for society – adds Boeri –. From the collaboration with Webuild the idea of an exhibition that stages a long history of infrastructural successes together with the point of view of a selected international group of landscape designers”. To welcome visitors, at the entrance to the exhibition, is the head of the Tbm Stefania, one of six mechanical moles employed by Webuild for dig the tunnels of the new one M4 line of Milan. Stefania’s head has a diameter of 6.7 meters and a weight of 58 tons. Stefania advanced into the soil of the Lombard capital at one average speed of 18.5 meters per dayexcavating more than 3 kilometers of the line that will cross the city from east to west.
A fundamental axis which, thanks to the inauguration of the San Babila station,
will connect Linate airport to the heart of the Lombard capital in just 12 minutes. The exhibition develops in eight thematic areas along the curve of the ground floor of the Palazzo dell’arte with a immersive story of the works that Webuild has created or is creating all over the world, interspersed with a series of in-depth site-specific installations created by international architects, landscape architects, artists and thinkers, which lead us to reflect on the role of infrastructures for people and territories.
The first six areas tell, through large immersive installations and video storiesSome of main projects carried out by Webuild, a leading group in the design and construction of large infrastructures on a global scale. Each section of the exhibition dialogues with a site-specific installation, entrusted to Triennale Milano. These critical insights – curated by Nina Bassoli and designed especially for the occasion by Fosbury Architecture, Michel Desvigne Paysagiste, Bureau Bas Smets, Studio Ossidiana with Giovanni Hänninen, Superflux, Catherine Mosbach with Shandor Chury (Ovvo studio) – open the reflection on new questionsenlarging the gaze to the ecosystems of which infrastructures are a part, and to the incessant movement of transformation that landscape and infrastructures carry out continuously and mutually.
