Territories are the complex set of relations to things that keep us alive. They are bound spaces, where intersecting borders establish semi-stable relations between polities and their material base of operations.

Il Ritorno Dei Re (1980)
AP207.S2.SS01
Description:
The sub-series documents the exhibition "Il Ritorno Dei Re" designed by Pettena and presented at the Refettorio di Santa Maria Novella, in Florence in 1980. The exhibition presented the heads of the Carolingian kings statues, originally part of the facade of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral, that were removed after the French Revolution and later replaced by new sculptures by Viollet-le-Duc. The statues heads, rediscovered during excavation work in Paris, then toured museums in Europe and in the United States, including in Florence. Pettena's design managed "to evoke, through a cunning use of light, the “presence” of the kings, as the heads stood out as the only illuminated elements in a setting that, precisely because of its imposing character, was kept in semidarkness." [1] The sub-series contains Pettena's draft exhibition proposal, with plans, concept development notes, research and a section of the Refettorio di Santa Maria Novella showing the exhibition space.

AP164.S1.1999.D2
Description:
The project series documents an open competition. Abalos & Herreros, in collaboration with Queca Ortiz and Empty, S.L., won second place for their design. The firm identified this project as number 115. The intention of their entry was to “[…] answer to the task with an authentic installation, a mellowed and independent equipment independent of the container, which absolutely never provokes a conflict or pretends to improve it, which accepts the value of its configuration and extracts the maximum possibilities of the spatial qualities that the intervention has pretended to enhance. Therefore, it is pretended to develop a program which adds an offer of pedagogic-cultural piece of the town to the basic spaces of the museum. The challenge is to make people live together with the scientific aspects, which interests the cultivated popular-pedagogy visitor, connoisseurs of, and which acts with the intention of excinting, surprising and attracting attention of a mostly youthful and infantile audience. […] The museum’s basic program is completed with temporary exhibition halls, library, lecture room and didactic workshops, assembly hall, café, gift shop and offices.” (ARCH270975) Documenting this project are digital and reference materials, project descriptions, and specifications.
