CASTELLO di SAN MICHELE
Permanent fittings for a museum
Cagliari - Italy
2002

This project rises from the twofold requirement of
- provide S.Michele Castle (a defensive outpost built during the 13th century) - recently restored and converted into a museum – with permanent exhibition fittings, capable to hold the 20th century figurative arts works periodically exposed in its halls and as much flexible as possible with regard to their layout options, yet bound by the obligation not to damage at all the existing walls and finishes,
- visually mitigate the overhanging metallic structural grid installed as a roof above the fortress’ inner yard during the recent reconversion works..
