Good Design for a Museum Display Case: Pushing the Limits of Minimalism and Functionality

November 1, 2022 Valeria Montjoy 0

Museums play a critical role in preserving local cultures, promoting a better understanding of our collective heritage, and fostering dialogue, curiosity and self-reflection. In recent years –and largely driven by the Covid-19 pandemic– technological advances have enabled users from all over the world to visit exhibitions virtually, at any time and from the comfort of their own home. However, although online tours are a good way of increasing accessibility, there is something about the in-person museum experience that will never get old: the ability to witness, embrace and closely admire artefacts, paintings and sculptures in their true form, as well as the chance to experience the unique ambiance and essence of a traditional museum setting. Viewing the Mona Lisa virtually will never live up to appreciating it face-to-face at The Louvre, for instance.

The house Furggaleidis is located in Buchen, a small village in Graubünden, Switzerland. Surrounded by beautiful nature and an unobstructed agricultural zone. The long and calm volume has its roots in regional stables, which have shaped the landscape for decades. In this way, house Furggaleidis takes up various themes and structures without ignoring the actual purpose of a contemporary residential building.
