Native North Americans: traditions and transitions
Freestanding glass cases in warm-toned rooms for collection objects.
Built exhibition, 2012–2013.
Freestanding glass cases, tall and table-height, order the route through a sequence of terracotta-toned rooms on two levels of the museum. Light is concentrated inside the cases so the object is the main source of brightness; the isometric shows the furniture exploded over the existing plan.

The project, chapter by chapter.
Diverse objects are organised through viewing distances and display supports.

The object and its showcase
Table cases and tall cases call for different approaches. The first invites a downward gaze; the second presents objects upright, introducing variety within the same exhibition route.

Section 1 · space and connection
The section relates installation, room height and connections between levels. It is shown in full, separately from the sheet’s second view.
Section 2 · exhibition continuity
The second section shows continuity of display supports and viewing spaces. The drawing retains the archive information.
03
A sequence of rooms
The plan connects rooms and passages, while photographs reveal changing depths. Wall cases leave other circulation areas open and alternate with objects displayed in freestanding exhibition furniture.

Looking closely
Railings and varied case formats reveal the mediation between object and visitor. Textiles form extended surfaces, while other objects gather within smaller supports and more concentrated viewing areas.

Graphics introduce the collection
Entrance graphics provide an initial orientation before visitors encounter the objects. The title wall acts as an introductory surface and makes the beginning of the exhibition sequence recognisable.
