Museo Ara Pacis in Rome

I've begun to document my objects for our first studio project. I'm really interested in the fire-route plan for this Richard Meyer building, but am undecided whether to focus on the actual way-finding signs or the fire extinguishers. . .


California modernism comes to Rome and ends up worse for wear . . .

Spot the fire extinguisher


The extinguishers are laid out in a grid pattern throughout the building, layering a systemic order over the space abstracted from the context. They are red, like Tschumi's La Villette pavilions.
