At the Galleria Sabauda in the Royal Museums of Turin, the exhibition “A Space for Leonardo. Leonardo for Space” represents an evolved dialogue between Renaissance aesthetics and contemporary expression. Paschetto oversaw the technical realisation of this vision, handling the detailed engineering and structural production of the exhibition space.
Engineering and Architectural Systems
Designed by the Lorenzo Greppi GRP studio, the project required careful management of conservation requirements and multimedia needs:
- Reversible Structure: The entire installation is designed as a self-contained unit, capable of blending into the gallery’s historic space without altering its original surfaces.
- Multimedia Integration: We have designed concealed technical compartments and cable ducts to house immersive technology, ensuring a clean and functional aesthetic.
- Conservation Standards: Every material and finish has been selected to meet the strict safety and security requirements necessary for housing Leonardo da Vinci’s original drawings.
Technology in the service of culture
For Paschetto, museum design is a balancing act: transforming a complex curatorial concept into a tangible, precise and reliable structure. Our role was to create the perfect ‘stage’ where historical heritage and technology can come together, ensuring a level of durability and craftsmanship befitting an institution of international standing.
This project demonstrates Paschetto’s ability to operate as a specialist contractor in the cultural sector, where a sensitivity to the artwork guides every construction decision.
