The site: Monastir Sant Pau del Camp, Barcelona.   

                                                                 
Challenge: design and organize an exhibition of Romanian Orthodox Art and Architecture during a 3 months internship at TGIN Arquitectura in Barcelona (http://www.tgin.es/).

 

Housed in the Monastery of Sant Pau del Camp, one of Barcelona's oldest Romanic establishments, the exhibition's main feature was the display of orthodox churches, focusing on their rich interior space.

In order to convey the spatial experience inside the churches, the panoramic interior photographs of each of the 15 chose examples were assembled onto a curved surface. The shape of the display panels invites the observer to replicate the same gesture he would perform inside the nave, looking upwards.

 

Addicional means were used for a complete understanding of the architectural particularities:  a video presentation and an Oculus Rift model of the interior of a typical church that allowed the visitors to experience in virtual reality the specific space, light and decoration.
