The School of Architecture of the University of Navarra has participated in the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2014 held annually in Milan and attended by a total of 357,200 people during its open week. It has done so as a guest institution in the SaloneSatellite, which hosts in individual stands more than 650 participants and 16 schools of Architecture and design from around the world, under the call 'Design, innovation+craftmanship'.
The School of Architecture has presented an artistic project developed with students and in partnership with the Museo Universidad de Navarra, which has been exhibited from April 8 to 13.
The work in question is 'Museum on wheels' which develops the fictional idea of a museum space-support that could be itinerant, analogous to what happens in the famous novel by Christopher Morley, 'Parnassus on Wheels', from which it takes its name and which refers to an imaginary bookshop , a traveling sales caravan.
In Milan, a life-size artifact and four smaller scale models have been exhibited as prototypes that are the basic support for different artistic interventions that emulate the possibilities of cooperation between art and architecture by means of a wandering and ephemeral artifact.
