The Dutch architect will restore a Milanese industrial site to host the future patronage place of Prada.

The OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture), Dutch architects collective directed, notably, by Rem Koolhaas, will supervise the transformation of an industrial site in a Prada exhibition space. The complex will welcome exhibitions, concerts, talks. On the occasion of the Salone del Mobile de Milano, last April, Rem Koolhaas has made it known that he will renovate this place dating from 1910, one of the most ancient factory in Milano. The opening date hasn't been disclosed.
