The project, organized in two phases and designed with Walter Angonese, was extended from the central nucle¬us of Castel Tirolo to the fortified south side, embodied in a new museum layout, and in particular to the mas¬sive keep. Here the exhibition rooms rise in a spiral culminate in a covered terrace from which visitors can gaze out at the landscape through the bat¬tlements. Comprising twenty-two lev¬els, the path winds around four met¬al box channels installed obliquely to follow the tapering of the internal walls. Balconies overlook the cen¬tral void and a volume with sloping walls, inside which are arranged the workstations and multimedia instal¬lations. The materials used are wood and oxidized steel panels.
