THE BRIEF
For this university project, we were asked to identify an underused or dysfunctional site and imagine a new purpose for it.
I chose an abandoned historic building in my hometown of Lauria, Basilicata, and proposed transforming it into an ethnographic museum — a place where the town's disappearing history, objects and traditions could be preserved and experienced.
THE APPROACH
After researching the site and its architectural heritage, my team developed the overall museum experience, including exhibition areas, seating and circulation.
I personally designed and 3D-modelled the individual rooms, exhibition furniture, lighting and seating, drawing on architectural details found throughout the town.
Exhibition space — 3D visualisation
Custom display system inspired by local architectural details
Interior detail — exhibition and seating design
OUTCOME
The proposal was eventually presented to the building's owner as a potential redevelopment. It was not taken forward, but the project remains one of my earliest explorations of how place, memory and design can work together.
