Voices is a kind of map of urban sentiment, taking place in the extraordinary setting of the Conservatory's court. The citizens-contributors talk about their idea of living in Milan – pointing out the features that they would keep and those that they would do away with – each according to a personal approach. They ponder if the ideal city is horizontal or vertical, what its sound is, and mention their favourite place to go read a book.

Among the many voices that have contributed to the Domus "listening project" are Elio Fiorucci, Patricia Urquiola, Jane Reeve, Chiara Alessi, Manolo De Giorgi, Anna Foppiano, Giulio Iacchetti, Andrée Ruth Shammah, Piero Gandini and many other exponents from the worlds of design, architecture and performing arts. Each day of the Milan Design Week, a programme of different voices will construct an urban map of sentiment, based on the aesthetics of person-to-city relationships.

And then, when cocktail hour arrives, the Conservatory's courtyard will turn into a meeting piazza, with musical live performances.

Toyota, Domus's partner for the Voices event, will be presenting the new Aygo city car in the courtyard of the Conservatory as the Italian première, featuring an inventive and attractive design that is poised to conquer the young at heart.
