Designing a contemporary exhibition space, which represents a country, needs to stem from a strict analysis of its values and identity.We started with a detailed study of the Peruvian physical topography and natural resources from the North to the South.
This method of analysis allowed to highlight peculiarities of this country in terms of culture, art, history and gastronomy.The way to materialize this exhibition system comes directly from Peru’s artistic legacy and the interpretation of the stone construction system developed by the Incas.A systematization of Incas’ pattern produces the generation of a modular system of construction, which defines the whole program of the exhibition.
The exhibition wants to be interpreted as a spatial, material system composed of modular and wooden pieces. The geometry of these modules configures infinite possibilities, responds to many functions and adapts to different locations. In fact, these parts are easily stackable, storable and transportable.Corn fiber panels will used to manufacture the modules.
