The Santa Creu i Sant Pau Hospital (Barcelona) has recently opened a new exhibition space located in the San Salvador Pavilion, after carrying out reforms geared to recuperating what used to be the intensive care unit. As a specialist in designing audiovisual installations adapted to cultural venue and museums, Sono handled the audiovisual production of this interesting space.
Distributed on two floors, the exhibition explains the history of the Santa Creu i Sant Pau Hospital since in was built (1401), in tribute to the figure of Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
Featuring an intuitive design, the exhibition starts in the basement where, after entering, visitors are confronted with a giant 360º screen with five projectors synchronized with the room’s lights and which synthetically summarizes the exhibition content.
On the same floor, the video and interactive displays complement the information panels and display cases, helping visitors to visualize in detail the collection of the historical archive of the private foundation in a journey through the history of Catalan medicine. The exhibition continues on the next floor where spectacular interactive videowalls, wall projections, displays, and lighting are perfectly integrated in order to tell the story of Lluís Domènech i Montaner and his prominent work in its three facets: scholarship, architecture, and ideology.
Also on the first floor, there is an information point and another for school workshops with compact interactive reproductions.
Sono has contributed to the rehabilitation of this space by supplying the A/V equipment (projectors, displays, control system, and lighting), including its installation, the production of audiovisual content, and programming the control system for synchronizing content and lighting.
