Inside the Como Picture Gallery we have set up an interactive space dedicated to the futurist architect Antonio Sant’Elia. In the first room we made a touch table that allows you to browse Sant’Elia’s biography, bibliography and historical context as well as view, enlarging them in detail, the drawings that are part of the collection in the Picture Gallery.
In the second room made a projection on two adjoining walls and produced a historical film recounting the architect’s life, beginnings, training, and entire stylistic development from his beginnings to his death.
The video was made with archival photographic images and drawings of the architect side by side with 3D reconstructions of the buildings and structures he designed in order to appreciate Sant’Elia’s visionary and futurist spirit.
