Villa Chiragan
…Text in progress…
Présentation from web.2print.org
Julie Blanc and Antoine Fauchié developed a multi-format catalogue for the Saint Raymond Museum (Toulouse). The catalogue presents part of the museum’s collection devoted to a group of Roman sculptures discovered at a place called Chiragan in Martres-Tolosane. Inspired by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, they designed and developed a digital version of the catalogue and a printed version. To do this, they proposed a publishing chain created specifically for the museum team and based on a set of open-source tools that they assembled (Jeckyll, Zotero, Forestry, Gitlab, paged.js, etc.). The graphic and interactive design of the site was developed entirely in HTML, CSS and Javascript. The printed version uses Paged.js to generate the printed catalogue directly from the web browser. This means that the content only needs to be entered and corrected once by the museum to generate both versions.
