"ART PRISON"
Between Art and Nature. Favignana (IT)
The ancient “Santa Caterina” castle (used as a prison during the II World War) stands on top of a 300 m high mountain. The Masterplan to transform the castle into a contemporary art museum and I decided to focus on the re-development of the path which climbs on the rocks to reach the fort. The concept is simple: superimpose two paths to create spaces where people could stop to appreciate art pieces located both on the path and in nature, giving the possibility to seat, shelter from the sun and enjoy contemporary art during the hike. The project consists in three different structures that divert the path from the original position and create new occasions to enrich the landscape and ease the walk. Supervisors: Prof. Arch.
