From most positions, the image appears blurred or incomplete, but from a specific viewpoint, its two halves align to form a complete circle.<\/p>\n![\"spatial](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/spatial-foldings-at-the-antiquity-exhibition-designed-by-narchitektura-1-6a4ffdf56b4cd.jpg\")

CONTINUOUS SURFACES FRAME THE SCULPTURES<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the first gallery, glazed birch plywood covers the floor and rises along the walls. At the upper level, the material becomes translucent, allowing indirect light to pass through and creating a soft glow around the room. The sculptures are displayed on wooden platforms that project from the new walls, while selected objects are protected by glass cases. The curved transition between the floor and walls makes the room appear more continuous and removes clear boundaries between its surfaces.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next gallery follows a similar approach. A textured surface extends from the floor onto two opposite walls, creating a single curved backdrop for freestanding plaster casts. Marble pedestals of different heights position the sculptures at a consistent visual level.<\/p>\n

PERFORATED WALLS PRESENT ABSENT OBJECTS<\/p>\n

Another room is defined by a warm brown plywood wall punctured with circular openings. Some contain photographs of objects that could not be included in the exhibition, while four larger niches display smaller artifacts.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The arrangement resembles a contemporary stereoscope, inviting visitors to look through the openings one by one. The matching brown tones of the floor, walls, and ceiling create a neutral setting that keeps attention on the photographs and objects.<\/p>\n

BURGUNDY CARPET AND BRASS MARK THE FINAL ROOM<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the final gallery, burgundy carpet covers both the floor and a curved wall, echoing the color of the castle\u2019s existing stone staircase. A circular display case set into the wall presents five small objects surrounded by concentric brass elements and soft, diffused light.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across the five rooms, the intervention balances contemporary exhibition design with the historic architecture of Wawel Royal Castle. Curved surfaces, restrained materials, and controlled lighting create a clear journey through the collection while allowing each group of objects to occupy its own distinct setting.<\/p>\n
