A new Holocaust memorial, opened […] under the Stazione Centrale (Central Train Station) in Milan. It requires our attention: not just inherently, because the subject is so important, but architecturally, because of the skill of the architects. […] The Milan Memoriale shares with Primo Levi’s work a hard message: we cannot avoid the past and its implications for the present. The architects are to be complimented for communicating this message with grace and restraint; they have turned the site over to us as individuals.

Guido Morpurgo and Annalisa de Curtis have been working together as architects since 1996. In their work they are strongly committed to responsible forms of cultural restitution in the reuse of historic buildings and interiors, in museum and exhibition projects, and in the design of social housing. In their projects they explore the expressiveness of materials, light, and textures, and this approach, together with great attention to detail and precise control of space, leads to works that are in dialogue with pre-existing situations and places.

Their projects have appeared in books and in leading architecture journals, both in Italy and abroad.

Their work for the Shoah Memorial in Milan received the Gold Medal for Italian Architecture - Honorable Mention for Interiors - in 2015 and the Monumental Bond in 2017. It was also included in the "Census of Italian Architecture from 1945 to the Present" by the Italian Ministry of Culture, in addition to receiving the National In/Architecture Award in 2020. The project has appeared in 40 publications, exhibitions and presentations at national and international institutions and universities.

Within a unified idea of research by design, both architects have consistently integrated their professional and academic experiences. Annalisa de Curtis teaches at Politecnico di Milano and Università Cattolica di Milano, Guido Morpurgo is Associate Professor at IUAV (Università Iuav di Venezia) since 2020.
