Within the complex organisation of a temporary cultural exhibition, exhibition design constitutes a genuine ‘three-dimensional narrative’ of the content on display. Exhibition design, encompassing both exhibition layout and museographic considerations, integrates different scales of design practice: interior design, involving the spatial organisation of the exhibition through the arrangement of elements that define solids and voids, routes, and transitions; product design, concerned with the development of exhibition components such as panels, tables, display cases, and partitions; and communication design, which entails the creation of signage and infographics consistent with the exhibition’s overarching theme. This complexity is further compounded by the extremely limited timeframes involved in the practical implementation of an exhibition, as well as the numerous stakeholders and specialised competencies required throughout the process. For these reasons, exhibition design can be regarded as an ideal context for experimentation, in which new design approaches can be tested and developed, offering considerable narrative potential. This paper examines the design-driven process underpinning the conception, development, and implementation of the exhibition design project for Anima Etrusca. La fortuna del Progetto Etruschi. It illustrates the design approach, methodology, and implementation stages that led to the development of a complex and integrated system encompassing curatorial practice, exhibition design, and communication.
Il progetto di allestimento – all’interno della complessa organizzazione di una mostra culturale temporanea – si pone come un vero e proprio ‘racconto tridimensionale’ dei contenuti da esporre. L’exhibit design – che riguarda aspetti allestitivi e museografici – è una perfetta integrazione di diverse scale progettuali: quella degli interni (organizzare compositivamente lo spazio inserendo elementi che vanno a costituire pieni e vuoti, percorsi, passaggi...); quella del prodotto (prevedere artefatti espositivi quali pannelli, tavoli, bacheche, quinte...); quella della comunicazione (mettere a punto una segnaletica e un apparato infografico coerente con il tema della mostra). Una complessità che si aggiunge alle tempistiche molto ridotte della ‘messa a terra’ di una mostra e alla quantità di interlocutori e competenze specifiche che entrano in gioco. Anche per questo, l’exhibit design può essere considerato come un contesto ideale di sperimentazione dove verificare nuovi atteggiamenti progettuali, una pratica ad alto potenziale narrativo. Il contributo entra nel merito del processo design driven che ha visto l’ideazione, lo sviluppo e la realizzazione del progetto allestitivo della mostra "Anima Etrusca. La fortuna del Progetto Etruschi" andando a illustrare l’approccio, la metodologia, i passaggi esecutivi che hanno portato alla definizione di un sistema complesso e integrato di curatela, allestimento e comunicazione.

Abstract
Within the complex organisation of a temporary cultural exhibition, exhibition design constitutes a genuine ‘three-dimensional narrative’ of the content on display. Exhibition design, encompassing both exhibition layout and museographic considerations, integrates different scales of design practice: interior design, involving the spatial organisation of the exhibition through the arrangement of elements that define solids and voids, routes, and transitions; product design, concerned with the development of exhibition components such as panels, tables, display cases, and partitions; and communication design, which entails the creation of signage and infographics consistent with the exhibition’s overarching theme. This complexity is further compounded by the extremely limited timeframes involved in the practical implementation of an exhibition, as well as the numerous stakeholders and specialised competencies required throughout the process. For these reasons, exhibition design can be regarded as an ideal context for experimentation, in which new design approaches can be tested and developed, offering considerable narrative potential. This paper examines the design-driven process underpinning the conception, development, and implementation of the exhibition design project for Anima Etrusca. La fortuna del Progetto Etruschi. It illustrates the design approach, methodology, and implementation stages that led to the development of a complex and integrated system encompassing curatorial practice, exhibition design, and communication.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
