In the actual state, the royal kitchens of Aglie, present a static exhibition that is part of the museum’s tour, but does not invite the visitor to interact within the space, and that does not, communicate the history of the kitchen nor the castle in a proper way. Additionally the area of the central kitchen can be perceived as two main areas, in which the environmental characteristics are the reason for this division, mainly lead by the amount of light.

The Lighting Design For the lighting design of the proposal, the main idea was to respect the environmental characteristics of the spaces related to light but to allow the new uses proposed to be developed, such as a projection area, an interactive exhibition area, with a focus on the displayed objects. The characteristics that were thought to be respected, divided the spaces of the kitchen into two, the central kitchen and corridor, which were lighted, and the wood storage in which the amount of light was low. Additionally, under the idea of the system, such a system was proposed to be a lighting system that not only would light the objects that were being displayed but also the spaces around it, enhancing the characteristics of the Historical Royal Kitchens, such as the pavements, vaults, and walls.
