The setting that gives voice to the city
When exhibit design puts itself at the service of urban planning
The exhibition "
Turning Point - Revealing the Future.", which opened at
Urban Lab Torino, represents an exemplary case of
cultural staging that can combine
technical rigor,
economic focus and
narrative coherence.
Saglietti Group directly oversaw every phase of the executive project, without the presence of external architectural firms: an
autonomous work that required the
resolution of structural issues, the
enhancement of existing elements and the
functional optimization of spaces.
The intervention is included within the
overall renovation of the
exhibition venue of
Urban Lab and will remain on view until
May 31, 2026. The commission entrusted
Saglietti Group with the
complete installation of a
path dedicated to the urban transformation of Turin, with focus on
two symbolic places: the
Valentino Park and the
Cavallerizza Reale. These are complemented by a
"soon" section devoted to
ongoing projects, such as the
Metro Line 2, the
Health Park and the rehabilitation of the
Former Tobacco Factory.
Tailored exhibit design: smart solutions, lasting results
The entire project was developed according to a logic of
sustainability,
modularity, and
maintenance accessibility. The route opens with a
large map of Turin printed on the floor,
orienting the visitor and providing an
immediate overview.
The
walls house
large-format prints and
interactive visual stations, with
blue lacquered displays and
integrated monitors. Each structure is designed to provide
simplified access to internal components, allowing
quick and
invisible interventions.
Particularly significant is the
large LED backlit wall, with
custom stretched curtain, installed in the first room to
mask a compromised surface: an example of
how the technical solution can become a narrative device. Colors, graphics and visual coherence were defined in
constant dialogue with Urban Lab, although without an external graphic design: a further demonstration of
Saglietti Group's integrated approach.
The
audio elements were also subject to
design readjustment: the
handsets already in the exhibition were
integrated and updated to provide
customized sound narration for each urban project. A way to
listen to the changing city.
