The atlantic wall exhibition
November 21st, 2005The DPA of the Politecnico of Milan (I), with the GRAI of the
Ecole d’Architecture de Versailles (F) and the Raymond Lemaire
International Centre for Conservation in Leuven (B), has
managed a research within the EU programme Culture 2004
concerning the Atlantic Wall, the defence line built by German
occupation forces between 1939 and 1944 along the coasts of
France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway.
More than 12.000 concrete bunkers were built, an impressive
number for cost and labour involved.
The project underlines the architectural and cultural value of an
unique transnational heritage, preserving a shared memory on
the European soil.
An heritage to be safeguarded by the construction of the
Atlantic Wall Linear Museum.
The Atlantic Wall Linear Museum exhibition, designed by
studiometrico has been held at the Politecnico di Milano
between 27 october and 11 november 2005.
