Nemo Monti and Corriere della Sera, an Italian daily newspaper, have created a project to create a new model of the “newsstand for the 21st century.” The goal of the project is to give the newspaper supply and distribution chain new venues for dialoguing with the public, restoring newsstands’ centrality in today’s urban landscape.
Seven architecture and design firms are participating in the competition. The firms will rethink what the traditional newsstand looks like, but also how it should relate to urban space and the services it offers to the public.
