Origin | Zaha Hadid Architects
Milan / Italy / 2026
In the Cortile d’Onore, the installation serves both as a preview and an interpretative framework for the main installation, Origin, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects for Audi and presented at Portrait Milano. More than a mere reference, this installation introduces visitors to a perceptual dimension in which the brand’s values – clarity, technicality, intelligence and emotion – emerge in their purest form.
The installation thus becomes an introductory fragment that prepares visitors for the immersive experience of the main pavilion. An invitation to interpret Origin not only as an expression of innovation, but as an exercise in design awareness, where every gesture, reduced to its essence, reveals its own narrative power.
Origin by Zaha Hadid Architects for Audi is part of INTERNI's MATERIAE exhibition-event.

Più che un semplice rimando, questa installazione introduce il visitatore a una dimensione percettiva in cui i valori del brand – chiarezza, tecnicità, intelligenza ed emozione – emergono in forma essenziale.
L’installazione diventa così un frammento introduttivo che prepara all’esperienza immersiva del padiglione principale. Un invito a leggere Origin non solo come espressione di innovazione, ma come esercizio di consapevolezza progettuale, dove ogni gesto, ridotto all’essenziale, rivela la propria forza narrativa.
