Diamanti Palace Gallery
Ferrara
2017
Competition
The design guidelines interpret the events that led to the creation of the current complex building organism. The entire complex has in fact developed over the centuries for subsequent additions around the original historical building,
Our proposal provides for the creation, on the indicated grounds, of a single compact building body, an "exhibition machine", a neutral container inside which the various required functions are organized, and whose simple morphology arises in the wake of this tradition confronting, more by dialectic between the parts than by analogy, with the historic Palazzo.
The entire extension is made using only steel and glass, without any part in masonry except for the necessary foundations and slabs to support the floors, and as such completely reversible (and recyclable).
