Acqua Terra Fuoco
Architettura industriale nel Veneto del rinascimento
Grinding and silk mills, wool mills, sawmills, paper mills, tanneries, forges, lime kilns, mines and stone crushing systems. These are just a few of the industrial infrastructures that developed in Veneto during the Renaissance and that proved fundamental to scientific and cultural progress in which the work of Andrea Palladio, among others, could flourish. The museum dedicated to him has therefore decided to offer to its public an exhibition that traces the most decisive aspects of this period through a variety of material evidence: films, paintings, drawings, maps and early printed books.
The exhibition design, curated by architect and scenographer Andrea Bernard, was completed by dedicated graphic interventions inspired by the materials on display. Specifically, a great deal of influence was brought by the hand-drawn symbols and characters found in the older publications exhibited. The symbols became icons, and the scribed texts inspiration in the choice of the fonts: the serif Chiswick by Commercial Type, eventually paired with the sans Amerika Condensed by Grilli Type.
