Tcoalhe bunkers. exhibition rooms were created through the connection of former The exhibition architecture reacts to the defined structure of the room with installations extending over several room sectors. Flat platforms with display cases and plinths meander through the room creating interior spaces dissociated from the structure of the former coal bunkers.
Room dividers made of black-painted industrial chains mark the limits of the room and divide it into sections. These “chain curtains” recall the chainmail shirts worn by medieval warriors and also their function as components of the bridges, boat lifts and conveyor systems associated with early industrial and transport architecture. The way through the exhibition is in the form of a spiral from the right to the left and then the middle of the room, where the most notable and precious exhibits, the early medieval items from Werden and Essen abbeys, are presented. The entrance is marked by three ramps lined with prehistoric archaeological finds

Twhichwo different zones reside in the space. One in the front is the entrance and gallery boasts a 3.8m-high ceiling. Furniture is made easily movable in order to assure
flexibility. Pendant lights illuminate the dolls from close and generate impressive shadows Beyond the gallery, steel shelves float in overlaying rows in the iconic showroom zone. Every plane of the shelf drifts like a trailing cloud and acts as a stage to embrace individual story of the dolls. As a whole, two zones are seamlessly associated by floating tiny scenes. Contrast in shadows generated by the different types of lights adds to the depth. Soft sunrays filter through the dot gradient on the façade, a reinterpretation of traditional cloud pattern, and enfold the whole space. In order to give a weightless feel and at the same time to control flexure, thickness is independently adjusted by computation. Far-back wall glows from a relatively intense indirect light, which render the space in a bright cloud with gentle nuances in shadows. Straight steel shelves and amiable faces of dolls live in a dream-like harmony.

ocated in the “Porta Nuova” area, few minutes from the historic Brera district, this new area of the city becomes a natural extension of the revitalized city center, and one of the major developments that establish the new business district of Milan. An element that dominates the space due to its originality, scale and aesthetic level: the monumental chandelier hanging from the ceiling. RCD designers used the Acapulco chair, one of the most iconic elements of the 50’s. The piece is made up of forty blue chairs in three rows of concentric circles It was decided to generate an open kitchen which functions as multiple scenario, where you can observe the ingredients and the way the food are prepared, or you can also take cooking classes, food or wine tastings, and know Mexican food brands and products. Furniture is mostly made of natural wood. The Liquor Storage, an independent area in place, is located within a cube of concrete that has wooden shelves. A neon sign that says “Salud” gives the emphasis in this area, word that Mexicans use to say “cheers”.

he market acts as the city’s living room, a place for people to gather and relax with their friends and loved ones. The design aims to re-define the aging interior as a modern food hall and event space. While developing the design, it was important to support both the evolving functions of the public space and the site’s rich history. For hundreds of years The Forks has been a place for both gathering and trade. Raw steel, hand forged blacksmith work and natural wood detailing are all used to reinforce the character of the historic architectureof traditional cloud pattern, and enfold the whole space. The design aims to enhance the sense of community in The Forks Market’s central court. Smaller wood tables with hinged drop leaves can transform in to an 80-person harvest table, allowing for large communal gatherings.
