areas of projects aimed at Auditorium, libraries, archives and offices is a large basement block on two floors in a main street level and one at 5 feet below the level soil.
in particular are located on level -1 of storage, laboratory, canteen, part of the technical areas.
At level zero, are instead the space used as a reading room, the public offices, an auditorium with 777 seats and a projection room of 333 seats in addition to the areas of service to the exhibition rooms: dining, ticket office, cloakroom and a bookshop.
spaces to the north of the plot are derived from a triangular geometric space that revolves around a vertex increase in size from certain projects of the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.
blocks that develop on the south lot of stem plants in the form of the large structure that houses the exhibition rooms on the top of this space.
much attention has been paid to design of plants in various areas mainly based on geometry from triangles, for the most scalene.
the block which houses the library, too, arising from the volume of the Auditorium rotate or scale, has been passed to the north cut by creating a double-height facing it, to make light, the aperture of the reading rooms and office management.
where it is made possible opening, due to the burying of the building up to an altitude +4 meters were openings on the roof where the light is conveyed by skylights shaped like a truncated pyramid with a triangular base.
At roof level, Above the Auditorium and the projection room, was also made an outdoor amphitheater with about 1,000 seats in use during the spring and summer for theater shows and concerts outdoor music.
coverage to help connect the garden with a path to the area of \u200b\u200bgreen Piazzale Arnaldo cAntonmombello and from there to green park along the ancient walls.
the volumes of the project to be dedicated to the exhibition halls has been resolved with a large structure suspended twelve feet high on pillars with a circular section of about two meters in diameter.
the primary structure is made up of fourteen profiles resulting from the curved shape of the ribs of a sperm whale, modified to make the suitable structure for holding the three exhibition halls.
large curved profiles are connected by a second hierarchy of structural elements, beams with double T in addition to maintaining that position in the primary structure supporting the large windows that cover the entire volume of the exhibition hall.
volume to fill the glass has designed a "skin" made up of large panels made out of thin aluminum, Draggable independent through a mechanized, computer controlled.
the idea is to take advantage of the light as needed 'and at the same time be a great machine architecture that can close at sunset per poi Aprirsi A secondA dell'incidenzA dei rAggi solAri durAnte il giorno.
il grAnde spAzio espositivo rAggiunge misure rAgguArdevoli: 103 metri di lunghezzA, 33 di lArghezzA ed un'AltezzA mAssimA di 21 metri per poter contenere più di 7000 metri quAdrAti di zone espositive suddivise su tre livelli.
i tre livelli espositivi sono costituiti da grAndi solAi reAlizzAti con strutturA mistA, AcciAio e cAlcestruzzo ArmAto, con un interpiAno di cinque metri, sospesi All'interno dellA grAnde strutturA, collegAti dA rAmpe inclinAte, da un doppio corposcAlA e dA tre grAndi Ascensori che sAlgono dAl foyer dove vi sono biglietteriA, guArdArobA e bookshop.
you chose to use the ramps to the vertical relationship between the three exhibition areas to emphasize once again the uniqueness' of the large space, creating a continuum of the exhibition.
for freedom 'of space, the exposure levels are well placed to accommodate any type of works of art, be they paintings, sculptures and installations.
for the three exhibition halls was thought arming, Below the supporting structure, hidden behind ceiling tiles, to a steel frame with guides on which the slide panels made of light material, such as Corian, secured with pulleys.
handling of the panels 'OPPORTUNITY' to divide the exhibition space in a manner best suited to the characteristics of works of art on display, but left at the same time the idea of \u200b\u200ba great, unique space, accentuated by the lifting the display panel of about 50 cm from the floor.
This is the final result seen from behind the block auditorium and projection room, framing, to the west, the large volume devoted to the exhibition halls.
