Italy has always been in the forefront in design and manufacturing, definitely one of the best if not the best in these fields.

High standard in quality and functionality in design has been more like a strong and important tradition in this country.

Hence their international events such as Made Expo aside from Salone Mobile, Venice Art Biennale, Venice Film festival,

and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana to name the important few are main events that command respect and prestige in the world at large.

As expectations ran high for the trade show centred on architecture, building construction and sustainability, the 7th MADE EXPO on architecture and the building industry was focused and directed back to growth.

With its updated marketing approach with the sign of the times, this international event/trade show has gone headstrong with direct and progressive promotions internationally online with both its marketing and ticket sales.

Therefore its strong social media strategy has increased its popularity and following.

The 4 themed exhibitions that it has (1-MADE Construction & Materials, 2-MADE Building Envelop & Windows, 3-MADE Interiors & Finishes, 4-MADE Software, Technologies & Services),

6 major events (1-Building the Expo, 2-Build Smart, 3-Building Envelop & Windows Forum, 4-MADE for Contract Hotel, 5-MADE for Retail, 6-MADE in Concrete),

and 8 halls at the Rho Fairgrounds has insured the success of another very important international event in Italy this year, aside from the Biennale, Salone del Mobile, and the World Expo.

As there were over 30 conferences and workshops, there was an overwhelming offering for learning opportunities with regards to innovation and sustainability.

Official delegations from the 24 participating countries from Algeria, Angola, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, India, Iran, Israel, Kazakhstan, Lebanon,

Morocco, Mozambique, Poland, Qatar, United Kingdom, Republic of South Africa, Russia, Sweden, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, and the USA were all represented.

Interestingly enough this year's trade show has in a way become something like a world peace congress with a few currently conflicting countries participating together side by side.

Perhaps this year's highlight at the Milan Architecture Design Building -MADE Exposition 2015 was the preview of the World Expo 2015 to be hosted again in Milan the second time around (the first time was in 1906).

This Universal Exposition which was previously hosted by Korea in 2012 will now take place from the 1st of May until the 31st of October 2015 in Italy.

The building works have started rigorously since 2012 on a 1 million square meter space @ Rho Fiera, Milan.

With just about 1 more month to go, rapid works continue progressively as seen in our special tour of the site where 13 of the world's leading architecture firms are present in action:

-Studio Nemesi (Italy)

-Masterplanstudio (Angola)

-Studio Simmetrico (Azerbaijan)
