9Fondazione Prada

Fondazione Prada, which occupies a former gin distillery in southern Milan, stands out for its unique mix of reimagined existing buildings and new structures–people visit the complex as much for the architecture as the art on display. 

Most striking are Torre—a nine-storied white concrete tower with sharp angles and strategic cut-outs that house the permanent exhibition—and the ‘Haunted House,’ an existing building that was covered entirely in a dazzling 24-carat gold leaf, adding a bit of dazzle to the sleek and slightly muted exteriors.
