The app allows the geolocation of "must-see" examples to learn about the history of modern architecture in Milan. The selected works tell the story of the different neighbourhoods and key themes with which leading architects took on over the years to keep in step with the social, economic and cultural evolution of the city. The application, which is bilingual, allows users to follow suggested thematic routes or create their own personal itineraries along typological, geographical, authorial or chronological lines. Each work is illustrated by means of a concise descriptive chart, historical or archival iconographic material, essential bibliographic references and links to websites or in-depth video contributions.
