Objective
Objectives
The project will study a selection of typical museums in different Mediterranean countries and define their problems in terms of energy consumption, quality of lighting and acoustics, relation of building design, exhibit handling and user behaviour. The aim is to develop guidelines for innovative existing musea with better indoor air quality, maximum visual and thermal comfort, low energy consumption and rational use of energy.
The project will focus on the Archaeological Museum of Delphi in Greece, where a major extension is already under construction. The objective is to propose a realistic integrated design solution for the re-arrangement of the existing building, regarding daylighting, passive cooling, natural ventilation, acoustics and enhanced exhibition of objects.
Technical Approach
During the first stage of the project, a selected number of museums for antiquities from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece will be considered under four fields of assessment:
Architectural aspects
Energy behaviour
Daylighting and acoustics
Lighting
The measurements will be carried out during a summer and a winter period. A similar approach, with much more in depth measurements, will be followed for the Museum of Delphi in the second stage of the project.
The analysis will lead to a design phase (third stage) which will be subject to approval by the Greek Authorities and experts in the field.
During the final stage of the project conclusions from the three previous stages will be combined to form a set of general guidelines and recommendations which will be prepared for the retrofitting of archaeological museums in the Mediterranean area.
Expected Achievements and Exploitation
The outputs of this project will be :
- A general Questionnaire for assessing museum buildings of this type. - Matrices and Questionnaires referring to the case-studies. - A preliminary design for the retrofitting of the existing Museum of Delphi.
- Improvements for the extension of the Museum of Delphi (currently under construction).
- A maxi-brochure with presentation of generic problems, illustration of the case-studies, conclusions and guidelines for the retrofitting of archaeological museums.
- A seminar dealing with the above mentioned aspects.
