History vs Technological advancement (a collision of modern thinking and product of an old world)

Ok I know this is probably out of left field, but to me it represents everything that is important about technological thinking and the skills we are trying to impart to our young minds. James Harris from Taipa Area school, up in the far North of the North Island, New Zealand, sent me a link to a spectacular resource that he had come across.

Vatican City, Sistene Chapel

Within it depicts a modern problem 'how to add lighting to the Sistene chapel' given that electricity and lighting could destroy the classical works of art that are painted all over the structural interior of the building by Michealangalo.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512, is a cornerstone work of High Renaissance art.

A real problem/opportunity that required technological design and critical thinking skills to develop an outcome to meet the very specific set of specifications.
If you are looking for a case study to inspire then I would go no further than this.

I found this youtube clip to be inspiring and thought provoking, I hope that you enjoy the piece as much.
