client Fiat, Conaculta

size sqm 2000

The concept was to utilize pieces from Mayas spaces and architecture to structure the exhibition path.
We utilize platforms, steps, moulding, for their abstract and geometrical value : also the colour code was helping in guiding visitors.
The basic colour was a sand warm grey- the actual ruins colour-, while several themes-like architecture, royal power, sacred rites- were painted in red – the original cities colour, both accompanied by inserted “azul maya” volumes for didactic explanations.
The exhibition was generously illuminated to give the idea of natural light.
