Description
Tese de mestrado, Design de Equipamento, (Especialização em Design Urbano e de Interiores), Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2013 Acompanha um CD com anexos apenas consultável na Biblioteca da FBAUL Having as a backdrop the Vasco da Gama Aquarium Museum, this study seeks to submit a practical proposal, in order to solve the most striking problems encountered after the analysis of the Museum and of its way of presenting itself to the public. This proposal regards the Museum’s simplistic language, and it’s targeted to draw more attention to the objects. To accomplish this, a new line of furniture is created, along with a new lighting scheme that will, ultimately, bring the life and stimulus that were lacking in rooms where the careful and instructed Design approach hasn’t been before. Understanding, in a general manner, the historical evolution of this institution, its current status and its museographic and Design characteristics, that are applied throughout the exhibition. These include: a description of the organization of the exhibition space and of the circulation circuits, a description of its furnishings and of all the lighting methods. After tracing the historical and technical records of the Museum and building the explanatory speech that emphasizes its characterizing features, some of its critical errors – regarding the organization of an exhibition and the subsequent adequacy of the space and its furnishings to the public – will be numbered. Afterwards, some solutions will also be presented that aim to improve, or even change completely, some of the errors previously numbered, in order to create a more enjoyable and adapted visit
