ITIstudio envisions a near future in which streets return to those who live them. At Fuorisalone 2026, an installation narrates the act of giving space back to nature and people
There is a precise moment when an idea stops being a thought and becomes something you can touch, inhabit and move through. poroCity takes shape in this moment: from the idea that the streets of our cities can once again become places to stay, rather than mere thoroughfares.
The Milan-based practice ITIstudio, led by architect Tobia Marcotti, brings to Fuorisalone 2026 a fragment of a broader vision: an architecture that emerges from nature and returns it to center stage. Not an object to be admired, but an organism designed to welcome — a tree, a person sitting, the shadow shifting through the hours of the day.

Nature does not need to be improved: it is an inexhaustible source of inspiration, already complete. Architecture makes space for it — becoming a porous, lightweight container, capable of dissipating heat and of hosting life. The project comes together through human intelligence and contemporary tools: computational geometry, 3D printing, and AI as allies of an ancient idea — caring for those who inhabit the spaces. “The clan of inventors” as the ITI team defines itself, does not start from a problem, but from an opportunity — the pleasure of being outdoors.

The installation at SPAZIO ARCO, Via Abbondio Sangiorgio 6, from April 20 to 26, is an invitation to experience the process before the result. Because it’s often the journey, not the destination, that holds the real meaning.
ITIstudio — we care for.
