Milan Studio

In Autumn 2005, some of the contents of Casa Blu was packed up and compressed into a studio space in 27 via Watt in Milan. This building was leased to Domus Academy but the IDII cohort had their own entrance. The space included an office for the directors Neil Churcher and Heather Martin (as Gillian Crampton-Smith had stepped down after the news of the closure of the program), a main studio space for students, a presentation room and a small workshop room. This last cohort was allowed to graduate in June 2006 and many of the graduates now work in leading technology businesses around the world. The studio was closed and Domus Academy has since relocated elsewhere in Milan.
