Spazio Vedova
Renzo Piano designed the conversion of the former studio of Venetian painter Emilio Vedova (1919-2006), located in the former 'Magazzini del Sale', into a space to exhibit his works.
The proposal is an insert entirely made from brushed larch slats, carefully placed inside the existing space, whose brick walls and roof trusses were left exposed. The insert is composed by two walls that mark the entrance and house the service spaces, and an inclined floor raising from the entrance to the back of the warehouse, where a metallic structure stores Vedova's paintings. At predetermined hours of the day, ten robotic arms hanging from a rail running along the ceiling make a kind of mechanical choreography, taking the works from the storage structure and placing them on display throughout the space.
