Watchmaker’s Museum – re-use of “Ex palazzo frazionale”, Pesariis – Prato Carnico (FVG)
Authorisational planning
The building dating back to 1943, which expected to be recovered, is present as a completely alien body referring to the urban fabric of the fraction of Pesariis, regarding the morphology, the building type, the scale and the architectural language, in clear contrast to the traditional architecture of that context.
The city council was pushed to intervene on this building by the idea to realize here the Watchmaker’s Museum, a continuation of the exhibition that has been realized along the streets of Pesariis in these years, as part of the project Pesariis: the country of watches.
The planning of the conservation and recovery of the building covers both the outer shell as well as the interior spaces, following a deep insight in order to remember and respect the fundamental elements of the building built by the Community of Pesariis.
