Design Challenge:

The ArchMedium's team proposes, through this new competition, the creation of an Olympic Museum in Athens, dedicated to protect and remember all those historical moments that the games have left us.

The site is in a very particular area of the city, surrounded by representative work of the ancient Greek culture such as the Acropolis. Currently the place is occupied by a running track that will be moved to another sector of the city leaving a perfect flat land with excellent characteristics.

The project, as a whole, aims to be a new icon of the city that engages the classic works, the new equipments and the complex structure of the city.

Participants are requested to fulfil the requirements of the program taking into account its specific function and its insertion in a precise and characteristic urban environment.

 

Submission Requirements:

Each team must submit their Project in one horizontal panel of din-A1 dimensions. This panel must be identifiable with the inscription code that ArchMedium submits to all registered participants by email. Any panel that does not show this code will be automatically excluded from the voting process.

Participants are given total freedom to decide what information they want to include in the panel. The information included in the panel should be the one that better explains the project, helping the jury to understand their concept, singularities, etc.

The representation technique is free (2D drawings, pictures from models, hand drawings, renderings, photo collage, etc.) and the jury will assess both the originality of the presentation, as well as the clarity and quality achieved when expressing the main ideas of the project.
