Palazzo dell’Arte, Triennale Milano
Marcela Schneider Ferreira
Triennale Museum in Milan, officially known as La Triennale di Milano, is an internationally renowned centre for contemporary art and culture. Founded in 1933, the museum has established itself as a premier venue for exhibitions, conferences and events focussed on design, architecture, art and fashion. The Palazzo dell’Arte, which houses the museum today, was designed by Giovanni Muzio and is considered a masterpiece of rationalist architecture.
The “Cuore” room, which serves as the museum’s archive, houses sensitive drawings, graphics, photos and books. The room’s design is highly functional, with windows on one side allowing natural light, exhibition walls on the other, and reading tables arranged in between. The functional requirements for task and exhibition lighting in this space are complex, necessitating a flexible lighting solution. The chosen setup features three parallel Hi-trac track with Parscan spotlights, creating various lighting levels that can be controlled separately and individually via Bluetooth Casambi. This adaptable lighting system allows for customised illuminance to protect sensitive drawings and objects, meeting specific conservation needs while also supporting the versatile use of the room and contributing significantly to energy savings.

Another architectural highlight of the museum is the spiral staircase, emphasised by an innovative lighting solution. The “lantern effect” created by the large surrounding windows makes exterior façade lighting unnecessary; instead, light shines through the historic glass bricks, illuminating the red brick façade from within.
