From the essay by De Carolis: "As the book's content effectively demonstrates, in Milan design has become a system: not simply a school or a complex of albeit authoritative professional figures, but the result of permanent research that interacts with the entire city, with constant attention to that area in which Milan best expresses itself: innovation."
