“Scenography and architecture tell stories about spaces. As we move through spaces we constantly perceive their architecture from new points of view. Architecture is never constant: it is in continuous movement.”
(Barbara Holzer and Tristan Kobler)
Exhibition design is concerned with the issue of transformation. The scenographer must reconfigure an existing space: no place or location is neutral. The transformation is closely linked to the content, and that changes with every exhibition. The same applies when we design a building. Who can predict whether an office complex will always remain an office complex, or an apartment house always an apartment house? Exhibition design teaches us how to approach transformation, which is a fundamental element of architecture. It shows us that people never take an aerial view of architecture but always see it at eye level; and the way in which a person moves through a space is crucial. Our view of that space is fragmented, our perception of it a series of discrete impressions.
