Planium for the Museum Complex of Saint-Martin-de-Corléans

In a Megalithic Area

Planium realizes the floorings in Calamine for a surface of more than 1,000 square meters, on a project by the architects Massimo Venegoni and Renato Perinetti and the supervision of Copaco Srl. The project commissioned by the Autonomous Region of Valle d'Aosta, Department of Education and Culture, Superintendence for Goods and Cultural Activities, is inaugurated on June 24, 2016.

Located on the western outskirts of Aosta, the archaeological area next to the ancient church, from which it takes its name, was discovered in June 1969. On a surface that covers about one hectare, it is one of the most interesting European archaeological sites. In 1969 the excavations began.

The exhibition route of the megalithic area starts with walkways that, from the entrance of the museum, lead the visitor to the level of the actual archaeological site. Along this itinerary a temporal descent from today to prehistory is realized. The visit is a continuous view on the site, in a sort of constant dialogue 'internal-museum/external-site'. The cultural journey is divided into six sections. These, distinguished by the background colors of the walls, that vary almost imperceptibly, have our PL01 Invisible floor system, laid completely dry, with a Calamine finish, in 600x600 mm slabs. Calamine, with its dark and deep tones, completes and enhances the exhibition scenario. In the subsoil a grand environment opens up: the overall view is emotional, modulated by the lighting that gradually changes with reference to the different hours of the day. Crossing the dimension of time, the light tones color the atmosphere that surrounds the archaeological finds.
