"[Διεθνής Αρχιτεκτονικός Διαγωνισμός] Εξωτερικά, τρείς «αναδυόμενοι», μέσα από τη Γη, γραμμικοί, λιτοί, μονολιθικοί όγκοι πέριξ ενός αιθρίου, συνθέτουν ένα εσωστρεφές κέλυφος με επιλεγμένα ανοίγματα-φυγές προς την θάλασσα. Δημιουργείται έτσι ένα διακριτικό αλλά συγχρόνως δυναμικό – επιβλητικό και αναγνωρίσιμο κτίριο, όπως αρμόζει σε ένα δημόσιο και ιδιαίτερα πολιτιστικού χαρακτήρα, κτίριο. Η εξωτερική λιτότητα μεταφέρεται και εσωτερικά σε επίπεδο διάρθρωσης χώρων-προσβάσεων και αισθητικής. Εξασφαλίζονται έτσι οι κατάλληλες συνθήκες για την έκθεση- παρατήρηση – κατανόηση των ευρημάτων που αποτελεί και τον κυρίαρχο στόχο του αρχιτεκτονικού σχεδιασμού. Μεταξύ άλλων το μουσείο περιλαμβάνει εσωτερικούς και υπαίθριους εκθεσιακούς χώρους, εναέριους διαδρόμους, αμφιθέατρο, κατάστημα, αναψυκτήριο και ανάλογους χώρους υποστήριξης."

Any new high quality rendering or building progress?

At least you do museums in Cyprus we forgot how to accomodate our civilization

^^

Χανια is in Crete, not Cyprus.

Μα τόσα μουσεία ρε παιδί μου;
Η Ελλάδα είναι γεμάτη ακόμα και στην κάθε πόλη (και τώρα τελευταία και χωρία) έχει μουσεία,Ποιος πηγαίνει σε όλα αυτά;

True....there are so many existing museums, ones under constructions or planned across the Country that only time will tell whether they will all be able to survive.

Total museum visit numbers for Greece are still low compared to those of Italy, France and Germany.

My preference would be for 6-10 world class establishments located in major cities only or close to major sites.

All these smaller museums place a significant financial burden on the greek state and some of them have also been burgled leading to important artifacts being smuggled abroad.

Less may be best in my opinion.

We have a saying in Turkish "at last he understood where is Hanya (Χανια) where is Konya". suited this case so much :lol:

The Bobotis team won the competition to build the Hania Museum three years ago. Now, as the study is in its final stages, the ephorate has decided that more space is needed in order to display the large number of exhibits. The architects made use of vertical space to create a 14-square-meter loft, which the Central Archaeological Council approved at its last meeting.

“When designing museums, you have to keep an eye on the future, since new finds may come to light and you may have to change the ways things are displayed. With that in mind, the museum was designed to allow for added space or different uses of space,” says the architect.

Now the architects are waiting for the study phase to end so that the competition for the construction work can be announced. Construction could start in 2008 and be finished within two years. The museum is to cover 6,500 square meters, which includes 1,800 square meters for exhibition halls, 140 square meters for the gallery and a 140-seat amphitheater.

“We were asked to design the museum according to a specific plan determined by the Culture Ministry, which stipulated the purposes of the spaces we had to incorporate,” said Bobotis.

What matters most – with both the Hania museum and the Patras museum – is that the initial goal has been achieved: making museums that are accessible to the public.

The building, explained the architect, comprises “two discrete linear monolithic masses rising from the earth, a symbolic reference to vestiges of civilization beneath the ground and also a bioclimatic choice. One section has two wings and is set on a corner; the other has one wing, and is positioned like a barrier in front of the opening framed by the other, so as to create an atrium. Around the atrium will be the exhibition space and the entrance, which ensures the continuity of the museum’s corridors.”

“The austere geometry of the buildings will be softened by the earthy look of the ceramic material used in the interior,” explained Bobotis. The atrium, also a reference to traditional Greek buildings, will allow natural light into the museum.

The administrative offices, storerooms and workshops will go in the space between the two sections, along with a cafe and sales point which will operate independently.

Nice project

Construction could start in 2008 and be finished within two years. :rofl: si impossible...my guess, by 2018 at the VERY earliest.

^^

Please do us all a favour and STFU. Seriously.

Lastly, learn to spell.

I wouldn't blame him, Larisa's museum is U/C for some 10 years now...

Pilotos, if it was you OR any other forumer that made the comment that neorion made, then I would see it as constructive criticism. However, if you look at all the insulting and negative posts neorion makes throughout the various SSC forums against Greeks and Greece, you will understand and appreciate my frustration.

The project of museum looks very impressive! I hope constructions start soon :)
