During Milan Design Week 2026, in the heart of the Brera Design District, the Foundation and the Order of Architects, Architects, and Architects of Milan are hosting a group exhibition featuring projects, prototypes, and works across various design scales, fostering dialogue between the profession, research, and cultural production.

“Ordine Aperto” exhibits a selection of proposals submitted by architects, associations, organizations, and groups, selected following an open call launched between January and February 2026, which received 65 submissions.

The exhibition, through 36 projects, presents a rich and varied reflection on architecture, design, and landscape.

TABL.ESCAPING Relational Webs

The table is a necessary space, today more than ever, because it is on that surface that societies are built: it is the place where we learn how to live in a group, how to travel while remaining seated, how to care for others and converse without raising our voices, how to respect other diners, and, why not, how to experience pleasure. The group, gathered around the table, builds its own community, experiencing “cum vivere,” or the rules of good coexistence.

In Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, to establish the relationships that sustain the city’s life, the inhabitants stretch threads between the corners of their houses, like “cobwebs of intricate relationships seeking form.”

At the table, as in Ersilia, relationships are “like intertwined threads, and food becomes an element of connection.” Every word, gesture, or shared memory traces the emotional map of the gathered community.

When bonds become too tense or tangled, the inhabitants of Ersilia leave and start over elsewhere, setting up new tables and new connective landscapes, paying careful attention to the relational fabric that is rebuilt at each banquet. If this becomes frayed, the ritual empties, and all that remains is the consumption of food.
