Our proposal for the design of the historical collection of Compasso d’Oro is entrusted to twelve “micro-architectures” (each relating to a subject area of the collection), enabling the development of the physical collection on display, but at the same time providing useful surface to exhibit the intangible heritage. This exhibition design base its organization on the pace of the rooms used as permanent spaces: here the steel trusses mark the space in a precise and repeated way. The position of the micro-architectures is so dictated precisely by the trusses at the top, as if to indicate a musical time in the reading of the space. The series of “new environments”, created by these micro-architectures, set up a free path and emphasize the change of the topics covered. The portals make us then enter every time in a space similar to the above, but not yet identical, allowing a continuous discovery as in a labyrinth.
