A 1:20 sectional study model of Peter Märkli's Museo La Congiunta, fabricated from laser-cut MDF, cardboard, and acrylic. The model is opened along one longitudinal face to expose the interior gallery hall, whose walls are clad with laser-engraved and painted acrylic to evoke board-formed concrete, and a polystyrene or card framework articulates the steel roof trusses above. Narrow vertical slot windows are resolved with visible wall thickness and reveals on the exterior flank. The model foregrounds the quality of interior light, material surface, and structural roof assembly rather than exterior massing.
