In the past, monuments were buildings that could express a relationship between their surroundings by representing singular moments for the community. In contemporary society, new projects aiming to carry an exceptionally expressive language are often referred to as icons.

The project addresses the debate on the future of monuments, icons, and their pability to be a catalyst for a city's development. The project reimagines the iconic San Siro Stadium in Milan, scheduled for demolition, by reanalysing the contemporary notion of iconoclasm. Nowadays, iconoclasm refers to the destruction of heritage belonging to a specific cultural realm.

On the contrary, the project argues that destruction and (re)construction are intrinsically related to Milan's iconoclastic/monumental tradition. By referencing the Duomo Cathedral of Milan and the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo guild, the project explores reverse quarry through the Roman technique of spolia – the repurposing of building stones for new constructions. Reimagined as an endless construction site, San Siro is re-examined through a fictional narrative which considers heritage, present and future.
