MUSEO A COME AMBIENTE


2010

In the project “Museo A come Ambiente,” taking cues from the existing building and the need to give space to a number of exhibits already on site, we proposed a system of mobile pavilions that can have different configurations according to the needs of the curator.

 

All sides of the pavilion are modular and fully interchangeable, creating numerous different possible configurations of the space. In the basic configuration of the courtyard, presented here, the museum is surrounded by a curtain of pavilions, creating a sort of hortus conclusus (enclosed garden). The facades are also composed of elements with different degrees of transparency to ensure a level of continuity between the courtyard and the surrounding park.
