// Second edition
April 13-18th 2010
After the great success of the first edition,
esterni presents
the second edition of Public Design Festival: a festival aimed in the first place for designers and architects, but also for public administrators, companies, and common citizens to
focus on public spaces, and on how they are
conceived and designed, or, on the contrary, neglected.
A festival featuring installations and projects in some of Milan's public areas, meeting with representatives of the most important international urban design festivals, workshop on the theme of public spaces, alternative hospitality projects and a big party to celebrate public spaces.
During the Salone del Mobile (Milan's furniture fair), when everyone's attention is focussed on private spaces,
esterni will focus on the city of Milan and its inhabitants, to further highlight the central role of public spaces as places where citizens develop a sense of community
