YACademy High-Level Training Course | 2022 Edition | Architecture for Exhibition , Bologna / Italien

 

 

 

 

Architecture has always played a key role in exhibitions. Museums, exhibitions, and expositions are not only a cultural offer but are defined by space, by an exhibition itinerary that is able to surprise and fascinate the visitor who is drawn inside an active and inspiring experience.

 

For an exhibition, architecture is as fundamental as works of art, collections, and artifacts and their contents. The “Architecture for Exhibition” course has been created on these premises: its aim is to train professional designers who are able to materialize diverse artistic and museum experiences, enhancing the always-different story behind each cultural proposal. The students will acquire new skills in exhibition design and will move into a very prestigious environment – culture – which nowadays registers an increasing demand by the most critical and exclusive customers.

 

The students will focus on preservation practices, lighting techniques, and perception psychology to deepen their knowledge of technical practices to adopt in exhibition design. The course will be made up of 84 hours of lessons, a 32-hour workshop, and multiple lectures by well-renowned professional architects. At the end of the course, YACademy Placement office will guarantee each student a proposal for an internship/collaboration within the partner studios.

DESIGN OF A CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION FOR FONDAZIONE PRADA 

 

The workshop will represent the occasion of practical synthesis to test all the notions available through the others teaching modules, ensuring strategic answers with respect to a real architectural project. The course will be held in collaboration with Fondazione Prada and under the tutorship of Bjarke Ingels Group – it will offer to the students the opportunity to work for an installation of contemporary art to be located in “Podium” – a container of renowned exhibitions in the heart of Fondazione Prada and designed by Rem Koolhaas. Located in one of the most famous cultural architectures of the contemporary period, the ex-distillery designed by OMA for Prada – the workshop will guarantee to the students a considerable challenge on multiple aspects. Firstly, the installations’ design up to Fondazione which hosted, among different works, masterpieces of Jeff Koons, Carsten Höller e Robert Gober. Secondly, the comparison between fluency and flexibility that a space destinated to culture always need to support, considering a refined and un-compromising logic of environmental eco-compatibility. Fondazione Prada, to this day, has never replicates an exhibition, one of the goals of the workshop will be to imagine an itinerant exhibition: that, thanks to a particular attention to the architectural side, is able to colonize different locations of the museum, allowing also to bring the cultural experience to the largest public and in the most different contexts, according to a mission of cultural and artistic dissemination, on which is based the vision of Fondazione Prada.
