Building and exhibition layout: Sainsbury Wing compared with Castelvecchio - Kali Tzortzi 2004

Reading 19 (Week 33)
Exhibition and building layout



The article looks at the spatial layout with a museum using two examples to present this, Sainsburys Wing of Londons National Museum and Casteivecchio in Verona.

'the power of space overrides the intentions of the curators when it comes to the morphology of movement and exploration.' Everything is visible and the user is clearly led through the museum spaces. I found this reading particular interesting towards my final project as we are designing a gallery museum space. I found with Casteivecchio the journey through the building is enhanced by scarpa, this is because the museum takes on a modern and historic approach. I feel from this article in terms of space planning and layout I will benefit from in later projects.
