Contractor: Consorzio Arte’M – Partners: Syremont s.p.a – Altair 4 Multimedia s.r.l. –  Centrica s.r.l. – D’Uva Workshop s.r.l. – L’Erma di Bretschneider s.r.l. – Prismi Editrice Politecnica Napoli s.r.l.

Description: The operation performed by Syremont is part of a wider program of interventions aimed at the implementation of the project for the improvement of the tour arrangements and to potentiate the cultural offer of the Pompeii archeological site through the construction of outfittings, physical and virtual installations, multimedia production and software applications that, all together, contribute to structure and articulate the new system of the archeological site.

The intervention of Syremont affected the Ekklesiasterion area, an area of about 100 square meters near the Temple of Isis. The space is circumscribed by archeological masonry, which is in part original and in part a reconstruction, of variable height between 2.70 m and up to a maximum of about 4.50 m.

The peculiarity of the intervention was to have designed and built an infrastructure intended for use within an archeological area that is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage. Approved by the Superintendence of Pompeii, Herculaneum and Stabiae and the Seismic Commission, the structure is lightweight, self-supporting, detachable but statically verified according to the requirements of the category of User Class III, as required by the Technical Regulations for Construction of 2008. The foundations are superficial and consist of an adequately dimensioned ballast that did not require excavation nor anchorages for the existing structures.

The supporting structure is made entirely of truss frameworks, covered in an insulated package and finished with an extrados of copper foils and copper gutters.

A double package of perforated and not and projecting and not PVC screens, allowed us to visually integrate the structure in the archeological contest and create a confined environment inside that is suitable for daytime screenings.

Date of realization: 10/09/2015 – 30/04/2016

Description: scientific exhibition dedicated to the history and insight of Archimedes

This exhibition offers the opportunity to find out which and just how many fields of knowledge Archimedes was interested in – hydrostatics, geometry, mechanics, arithmetics – experiencing the phenomena at the base of many of his theoretical formulations first-hand through interactive exhibits.

The path focuses on the one hand on the studies related to mechanics and hydrostatics (that today we could more generally say is physics) while on the other, it presents famous solutions applied to the realization of machines conceived to facilitate the work of man or to alleviate fatigue.

During the realization, key interactive aspects were considered. The exhibits that make up the path allow the visitor to experience the phenomenon first-hand, by directly experiencing the relationship between cause and effect. It is thus possible to learn from the direct observation of what happens, what the rules, the behaviors, and the “laws” at the base of what was observed are.

A series of multimedia devices allows the visitor to explore the themes addressed in the exhibition according to personal virtual paths.

Syremont’s Activities:

• research on the subject of museums;
• processing content (iconographic and textual);
• visual identity and communication;
• museum exhibitions;
• interactive exhibits to experiment scientific phenomena;
• software simulators for scientific experiments (touchscreen method);
• training of personnel for educational activities to support the visit;
• training of technical personnel for routine maintenance of all the equipment supplied.

Description: cultural infrastructure for the enhancement of the archaeological area through the creation of a system of works, supplies and services designed to expand the cultural offer

Intervention Objective: the will of the municipal administration of Terracina was to exploit their assets through the creation of an integrated system of services, works and supplies designed to expand and qualify the cultural offerings of the site.

The archaeological site is subject to the supervision of the Superintendence of Archaeological Heritage of Lazio and architectural Superintendency of Lazio is NaturalMonument and Site of Community Interest (SCI) subject to constraints hydrological and landscape .

The goal then create a system of cultural infrastructure required a complex co-ordination with the requirements of environmental protection and conservation. A work so that required close collaboration of specialists in multidisciplinary fields and an intense collaboration between the public and private sectors.

The Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo, known to many as Giove’s Temple, is an archaeological site that houses the remains of a temple of the Republican era, a fortified camp for the defense of the city, a small temple adjoining reused and modified in the Middle Ages as a monastery. Inspired by the great scenic Hellenistic architecture, belongs to the series of the ancient sanctuaries of Latium monumentally restructured in the late Republic of Ancient Rome, between the end of the second century B.C. and the beginning of the first century B.C.

The project’s goal was to tell the story of the place from its earliest human settlements along centuries of history, to create spaces for the reception and management services to the public, to provide the area of electrical, technological and lighting to allow projections, architectural lighting, special effects for the show, to simplify the accessibility and finally equipped to create paths to learn more of issues related to the history of the place.

Syremont Activity: 

creation of a dedicated space for the welcoming of visitors with Ticket bookshop, warehouse, toilet, chair control to the show room, the projection a spectacle of sound and light show that tells the history, construction techniques, the motivations that drove the pilgrims to venerate the place, the architectural forms and spaces are not the most valuable, the reuse of certain areas at different times, rituals and spirituality of the place.

a lighting system for the enhancement of the architecture survived the time

an introductory video that tells the story of the visit of the sanctuaries of Latium offers contemporary and hypothetical reconstructions and three-dimensional animations suggestive evoking the atmosphere of the holy place and the adjoining entrenched camp

Location: Italy – Sicily – Syracuse – Piazza Archimede 11 Palazzo Pupillo – Ortigia
Committee: Agorasophia s.r.l.
Financing: private
Inauguration Date: December 9, 2012

Description: interactive scientific museum dedicated to Archimedes, the greatest scientist of the classical period.

Intervention Objective: the Museum Arkimedeion stems from the desire to honor the greatest scientist of all time and, above all, to restore his dignity to continue to serve his hometown, Syracuse.

The request was that of a science museum based on innovative technology, that is highly engaging, with rigorous scientific dissertations.

It is therefore not a coincidence that we have pursued this goal and had the honor of working with Jorge Wagensberg, former director of the Science Museum of Barcelona, ​​physically illustrious and an excellent communicator. His museological theories embodied our goals and his experience has been invaluable guidance in the conception of the project since its inception.

The Arkimedion was to be the site of ” intellectual Joy ” .

… Knowledge is a vital function, like breathing, take care of your health, eat and reproduce… However, to know, to understand the reality, it is the most recent vital function and natural selection has not had time to choose a vital stimulus of necessity, such as hunger, thirst, sexual desire, pleasure or pain…

Is there something that deserves to be called ” intellectual joy “? Something like a reward that is associated with mental clues to a new understanding? Is there a mental pleasure that promotes the acquisition of new knowledge, just as there is a joy or a pain that promote nutrition , sexual reproduction or the maintenance of a minimal state of health?

….I can also add that you have tried three types of intellectual joy, one for each phase of the process of acquiring new knowledge, which, curiously, have something to do with the three basic requirements to create scientific knowledge. That is:1. The joy of intellectual stimulation and the dialectical principle of science, 2. The joy for intellectual dialogue and the principle of objectivity of science, 3. The joy of intellectual understanding and the principle of intelligibility of science.

stimulus + dialogue + comprehension = intellectual joy.

And this is the great contribution of Jorge Wagensberg and his supporters, the architect Hernan Crespo being among them. Many others have contributed to this great project that Syremont had the honor of coordinating, channeling the energies of a large multidisciplinary team to create Arkimedeion.

The Arkimedeion is also an expression of a deep feeling that comes from the awakening of a pride that has its roots in a genuinely Sicilian atmosphere and that would now be able to go back a few centuries for Cicero declared “ita nobilissima Graeciae civitas, quondam vero etiam doctissima, sui civis unius acutissimi monumentum ignorasset, nisi ab homine Arpinate didicisset”

The project was promoted by the regional company FILAS dedicated to supporting the processes of development and innovation of the entrepreneurial fabric of the territory with the objective of revitalizing all sectors of the economy segment of the Cultural Heritage and Tourism connected to it through the use of innovative technologies.
His early actions for implementation are brought together under the brand Lazio Futouring, an integrated system of 10 pilot projects for the valorization of the cultural heritage of Lazio.
The project SPERLONGA AND THE RIVIERA OF ULYSSES articulated a set of interventions and supplies that involved Syremont s.p.a, Officine Rambaldi s.r.l. and Institute for Technologies Applied to Cultural Heritage ITABC of the National Research Centre CNR – a group made up of specialists from multidisciplinary fields that has worked for the realization of the project.
The fields of application of the project required the involvement of expert computer multimedia technologies (laser scanning, multimedia applications for consultations) programers for integration of different management platforms, designers and companies specializing in works and installations for buildings subjected to historical artistic and naturalistic areas subject to landscape – the practitioners of cinematic representation and technologies for artistic outdoor performances of sound and light, scholars and researchers for the production of cultural content then articulated for its different applications.

Syremont’s Activities:

• functionalization of access to the museum by construction operations aimed at improving accessibility and ensuring the safety of the streets of hexose, facilitate the aggregation of groups of visitors (new entrance and paved area outside) ;
• provision of furnishings for outdoor rest areas;
• routine maintenance on the facades and roofs;
• insertion of sections of walkways to simplify the use of the archaeological area;
• hydraulic interventions to ensure the water level of the ancient fishponds;
• electrical and data service in the archaeological area aimed at creating a show of sound and light;
• irrigation system;
• outdoor media for the view of the archaeological area;
• provision of technology for the management of the ticket office ;
• provision of illuminated flagpoles and flags in the entrance area;
• Multimedia applications: iPhone app aims to identify areas of cultural, natural or archeological value of the Riviera of Ulysses grouped into themes and itineraries shown as paths on the map – QR code to further study the themes of the visit – digital signage host: a multimedia kiosk placed outdoors, near the entrance, offers the up-to-date information on events organized as part of the cultural offer of the Sperlonga Archaeological Museum – updates are managed by the staff of the Museum – interactive indoor projection: images projected on the wall entertain visitors with an interactive game for a sneak preview of the cultural offerings of the Museum.

Officina Rambaldi’s Activities:

• Original videos and Hall of the Impossible Museum: the room was equipped for the screening of a video which recalls the events linked to the sculptural findings of 1956 and tells the story of Sperlonga, of Roman villas, the historic Flacca. The space also offers multimedia workstations to explore “virtual rooms” full of information, videos, objects and artefacts of art, not physically present in the museum but important elements of a process of cultural enrichment.
• Sound and light show at the Grotto of Tiberius: the “Grotta di Tiberio” is the stage of a show set in the picturesque setting of the Riviera of Ulysses and the mythical “cavern” of the Emperor, the original home of the large groups of sculptures called the Odyssey of Marble. The cave serves as a backdrop from which a play of lights and projections accompanied by stories materialize on a curtain of water, including music and three-dimensional reconstructions recalling the lost glories of the place.

CNR’s Activities:

• Historical research and coordination in the process of making the educational texts;

Description:
Museum dedicated to the promotion of the territory silane, the arts and local traditions.

Intervention Objective:
The Museum of the Agrosilvopastorale Civilization, of Arts and Traditions is one of the Sila’s National Park cultural expressions, which arose thanks to the will of Ente Parco della Sila  along with Museum of olive oil and peasant civilization of Zagarise (Catanzaro) and Museum of craftwork from Sila and of soil conservation  of Longobucco (Cosenza).

The museum was established on the basis of a complex project sponsored by the Park of Sila, which aims to:

• to strengthen the knowledge of the territory of Sila Piccola, of its tangible and intangible culture and then the local cultural identity;
•  promote the area as a destination for tourists and culture, nature and sports, with particular reference to the segment of interested visitors to protected areas;
• to enhance the link between the historical and cultural heritage, ecological-environmental, food and wine.

The designers have interpreted this need and have translated it into an exhibition rich in themes of reflections that stimulate knowledge through the use of modern and engaging language. The museum project has used a system consisting of dioramas, artistic reconstructions of micro- environmental , interactive multimedia applications , photographic blow-ups, video screenings, educational workshop and screening room, indoor space and outdoor area for tasting and preparation for the visit.

A significant part of the work done in this project was the anthropological research, the study of popular traditions handed down from the memory of the older population, studies on the fauna and flora of Sila .

The biggest challenge was the awareness and involvement of the local population , the collection of objects belonging to the families of the land, their restoration and creation of a rich collection of everyday items that have accompanied the life in homes, in fields, in country houses, many of which are now in disuse .

The tour  is accessible to everyone thanks to the availability of smart phones to learn more of the issues with audio, images and text.

A large outdoor area with tables, umbrellas and native plants, welcomes visitors and allows moments of rest and outdoor workshops .

Finally a guest house features rooms with beds wardrobes and bathrooms offers the possibility to stay in the heart of Sila.

Syremont Activity:

• adaptation of the systems and the construction of new premises for the intended use;
• Visual identity of the Sila’s eco -museum
• anthropological research – the study of the flora and fauna Sila – interviews – video and photo campaign
• museological project
•  awareness of the local population and their involvement in the project
• organization of a campaign of collecting items that have been selected, restored and cataloged for the ultimate collection
• museological project (for micro-environmental dioramas, display cases, large photographic panels, multimedia applications, video production in the area)
• fit out the turnkey and maintenance for five years.
