Architects SO-IL, Assemble and Carlo Ratti discuss the future of urban architecture at our first Dezeen x MINI Living Initiative talk in Milan. Tune in at 2pm UK time to watch it live.

The live stream has now ended, but you can still watch the full talk above.

Ilias Papageorgiou of New York studio SO-IL, Jane Hall of London collective Assemble and Italian architect Carlo Ratti are joining Dezeen and MINI for the talk at MINI's Breathe installation at Via Tortona 32 (pictured), which was designed by SO-IL as a sustainable response to ever-shrinking homes and limited resources in urban areas.

We will be streaming the talk live on Dezeen and our Facebook page for those that can't make it to the event in Milan.

Dezeen x MINI Living Initiative

The talk is part of the newly announced Dezeen x MINI Living Initiative, which is exploring how architecture and design can contribute to a brighter urban future through a series of online videos and real world events.

MINI Living – Breathe

Open from 4 to 9 April 2017 at Via Tortona 32, SO-IL's installation for MINI is a conceptual living space for up to three people, which occupies a space just five metres wide and 10 metres tall. The concept will present the home as an active ecosystem that can make a positive contribution to its environment.

Breathe by SO-IL is the third installation in the car brand's MINI Living programme, a project launched by car brand MINI in 2016 showcasing architectural solutions for future urban living spaces. It follows on from projects by Japanese studio ON design in Milan last year and London architect Asif Khan's Forests installation at London Design Festival 2016.
