Competition project "La Stanza di Verdi" ("A room for Giuseppe Verdi").
The project required to design a small room into the hospital that Giuseppe Verdi, the famous italian composer, built. The room needed to be renewed and organized to show the history of the hospital as museum for the 150th anniversary of the born of Giuseppe Verdi.
The idea that came out was to give new life to this room also after the 150th anniversary transforming the museum into a room for a visiting young composer.
The project take inspiration from the "studiolo rinascimentale" (as the painting "San Girolamo nello studio" by Antonello da Messina); a structure, the "studiolo", is the center of this project: a furniture who can include several functions (the museum, a small theatre, a place to live and work for the young composer) giving the visitors the impression of a place to think and compose (as Verdi used to do in loneliness).
The design took into account also:
- the exposition project of the documents
- the lighting and materials
- the structure
- the design of an innovative way to show documents and info (qr code)
- the design of totems and graphics supporting the museum.
