YACademy High-Level Training Course | 2023 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 80 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.

The myth of the Pharaohs

 

The workshop will be conducted in collaboration with the Akhenaten Museum and will focus on the exhibition space of one of the biggest and most influential museums in Egypt. The construction of this museum started in 2013 with the aim to pay tribute to one of the most important pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Father of the famous - but less influential - Tutankhamon, to Akhenaten we owe an epochal, albeit ephemeral, revolution of the traditional cult. Today the Akhenaten Museum is one of the most successful architectures in contemporary Egypt, it is located in El Minya, in upper Egypt, and it is the result of a cultural partnership with Berlin Neues Museum, where the famous bust of Nefertiti - the wife of Akhenaten - is kept. Through the workshop, students will have the opportunity to contribute to the final design of the big museum and to compare themselves with one of the cultural horizons that has most influenced the museography of all time: Ancient Egypt.

 

Construction is a fundamental step in architecture. For this reason, YACademy offers its students the opportunity to participate in the process of producing their own ideas. Thus, the students will gain practical experience on construction sites and, above all, the authorship of projects built for excellent commissions, destined for a major media echo and capable of defining a turning point in their professional career.
