| Sumario: | The central topic of this document is the morphologica l analysis of the false celling fixtures designed for the exhibition areas of the National Museum of Anthropology in México city from 1964 -a piece of work by the multidisciplinary group headed by the architect Pedro Ramírez Vázquez- and their recognition as a world reference design at the time when this marvelous museum was built, for its innovative features and for being the first ones used in a museum as didactic means. A major recognition of the improvements of this concept is its further application, eleven years later, at the London City Museum. The general concept of this objects solves simultaneously different design challenges which included the educational requirements including communication and learning processes of different profiles of vis itors such as children, visitors without a working knowledge of the local language and analphabet adults; the technological needs such as implementation of technologies integrated in the museum's project and the lim ited time for its construction . Museum special ists understood, maybe without a clear intention as the first formal signaling systems appeared several years later under direction of architect Ramírez Vázquez, that the lighting system of the ceiling fixtures should be designed to form part of an efficient communication and guiding system for visitors.This specialists settled the first experiences of signaling systems applied to education thru the chronological exhibition of a culture whose tour is punctuated and enhanced by its lighting. This philosophy, currently prevailing due to the transformational process followed lately by traditional education institutions, which expects to bring a new model of an educational system based in significa tive experiences where student's senses are stimulated and connected simulta neously within the educational experience, appears at the museum as a reference "avant la lettre". Although this work refers to the time of the museum's design and construction, is extremely convenient to underline that the false ceiling fixtures , after half a century of existence, have caused minimum alterations or modifications to the building since its opening and prevailing functionaland efficient until today (1964-2014). There is an extensive research related to the museum and its contents, neverthe less the short work dedicated to the constructive details and their relevance to the whole experience has left very short knowledge and understand ing of their importance, at a national and international level, and the successful Design and constructive decisions that this document pretends to reveal. Based in Maxwell's methodology, the degree of interest of this topic is based in two guidelines, the first one whose purpose is to stand-out sorne of the relevant constructive aspects of one of the most representative works of the Mexican architecture and the second , to demonstrate that the false celling fixtures contributed a successful solution in its use, providing orientation and guiding signals for visitors and setting the organizational rig for internal systems and installations. The museum's signaling system states a near communication and integration between the disciplines of graphic design, industrial design, architecture and engineering, where the graphic design signalbecomes part of the industrial design object, which in turn contributes to the spatial organization of the architectural space, organizing as well the engineering of the building. |
