Pendulum clock shop in the Palladian Basilica
38, Corso Andrea Palladio, Vicenza, Italy
The reconstruction project changed the logic of the use of the area
surrounding the old shop n.38 under the main vault of the Basilica Palladiana. The demolition of the part of the floor that
divides the shop of the first floor from the stores of the mezzanine has in
fact allowed the grand vault, made with a type of brick of medieval origin, to
be placed in light and, thanks to the insertion of the new stairs, to expand
the commercial surfaces also to the second level. The new stairs are a principal element, but
in spite of its dimensions, it does not interfere with the reading of the antique
wall that makes the background with the armoured wooden door recovered during
the work of restoration. The stairs are
a lightweight mettalic structure, physically independent from the pre-existing
structure. The framework is constructed
of slender squared tubing on which to rest numerous steps of thin folded sheet
metal. Also, an analogous relationship
to the materials of the exhibition was maintained and made recognizable and in
dependent through the deliberate use of limited materials and colors: treated steel with an iron varnish for the
entire structure, the stone of Vicenza for the floors of the shops and acid
treated glass for the horizontal floors of the exposition.
