The Open Museum

By adopting an interdisciplinary approach,accessibility issues were addressed,set-up and interaction through the three architecture, design and workshop communication.

Outputs: 3 masterplan projects incremental for the cave system, 150 square meters of external path, 150 meters paintings of hypogeum, image coordinate of the Evocava brand.

The architecture area has deepened the external feasibility system, the exhibition area and the communication area has been dedicated to the interaction between user and content. 
 


To Connect
- From Matrix to Masterplan -
Designing, prototyping and self-building a horizontal connection system able to connect the north front of the museum to the rest of the quarry.

In the first phase the participants developed a horizontal system for the use of the quarry-museum starting from a matrix designed by Francesco Lipari and called Centoventi (one-hundred- and-twenty).

Together with Goran Jankovic we guided the students in a computational modeling and with Saverio Massaro, starting from the PlayCity strategy of deltastudio.

three projects were developed for an implementation of the pedestrian system inside the other Evocava museum quarries.

In the second phase the students were finally immersed in the self- construction site that saw them engaged in the construction of the first 50 sqm stretch of Centoventi.

To Exhibit
- The Hypogean Mazara -
Illuminate, make accessible, usable and visitable the hypogeum of Evocava (about 120 square meters) within ten days

The methodology adopted is typical of design and has ranged from problem finding to problem solving and learning by doing, through prototyping and self-construction.

The design is made up of stories told by and through the objects or services, even those museums, which are short screenplays in which we are actors, curators, fitters, users (...).

Therefore, a narrative approach to the project determined the causal, temporal and spatial organization of a series of elements and events representative of the evocative matrices of the places, through the design of coherent systems of enjoyment, fruition and interaction.

To Trasmit
- The Museum as a brand - That is a museum? How does it involve? 
 How to define a unified vision on complex projects? 
 
 The course has developed a Design System, a set of useful rules for maintaining harmony and uniformity in the ecosystem of a physical and digital service, helping Evocava deliver to the customer an optimal brand experience on all platforms. Starting from an analysis of the context and users, they designed the entire customer experience of the museum, designing the communication and the products of the entire system. The participants worked hard both on the space and on the service, developing also guides and planning how to use them.
