A mesh LED net is temporarily covering the facade renovation at Piazza Duomo, Milan

The Urban Screen in Milan at Piazza Duomo became media partner of the project Check-in Architecture, a participative research project, inviting artists, architects, designers and sociologists, studying in the most prestigious universities in Europe, to tell stories about our cities in the form of 3 minute-long documentaries. The project interacts with its participants through a website, collecting and managing the documentaries via YouTube and GoogleMaps. It will also publish daily reflections on a blog. Check-in Architecture is also a free-press publication, a part of the Urban Screen programming and an exhibition taking place during the Architects’ Congress in Turin and the Venice Biennale.

"We at CIA have never really liked the word ‘content,’ as it makes art and advertorials one and the same, but let’s say instead of content, Urban Screen will be showing the Check-in Architecture documentaries, roughly between 3-4 and 8-9 everyday."
