This international educational project brings together 100 children from Japan and four European countries, each invited to create a model of their own \u2018House of the Heart\u2019.<\/p>\n

The theme, conceived by Toyo Ito, stems from a fundamental question: what does \u2018home\u2019 mean today? In an age of standardised housing and fragmented family life, the home \u2014 once the emotional centre of existence \u2014 risks losing its profound meaning.<\/p>\n

Children aged between 10 and 12, unburdened by architectural conventions, offer surprising perspectives on space, family and community. At the same time, internationally renowned architects \u2014 including Toyo Ito, Kazuyo Sejima, Sou Fujimoto, Manabu Chiba, Astrid Klein and o+h \u2014 present their own studio models developed around the same theme. By juxtaposing the children\u2019s visions with those of great architects, the exhibition fosters a dialogue between generations. Presented during Milan Design Week, it invites the international design community to reflect anew on a fundamental question: what is architecture, and how can it restore emotional meaning to the idea of home?<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
