The first hall of the exhibition is devoted to projects
for the utilization of the attic space. The Hermitage, like other
major world museums, seeks to make maximum use of available space.
While the Louvre has utilized its underground spaces, the Hermitage
in St. Petersburg, built on the banks of the Neva is planning to create
new rooms under the roofs of its buildings. The computer program presented
in this room describes projects for turning these spaces into a computer
classroom. an Internet-café or a restaurant. In the attics,
one’s attention is caught by the iron load-bearing structures
of the roofs designed by the 19th-century engineer M.Ye. Clark. They
take the form of flat triangular principals of varying complexity
with a triangular lattice. |
