Society in Our Hands
ARCA52 was born from the idea of giving new meaning to a simple, universal object—the deck of cards—transforming it into a tool that tells the story of how we inhabit the city and build relationships within it.
Turning a deck of cards into a narrative way for exploring contemporary living.

ARCA52 starts from Milan as its reference city and design inspiration. However, the project is designed to be adapted to other Italian cities, enhancing each urban context through its architectural references.
