SPARTA NEW ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM

Architectural Contest, 2 entries - Consultant

As consultants to the architecture team in charge

we provided assistance in shaping the concept design

regarding the permanent exhibition,

by focusing its key points

on the approved preliminary museological study

provided to the competitors.

In both entries our aim was to focus

on how the permanent exhibition helps highlight

the architectural shell as well as the content design,

by providing depth in terms of meaning and narrative.

In the proposal WW33350219,

architects propose an open plan space

within a building addition,

in the northeast part of the complex.

The permanent exhibition is hosted there

and its main feature is flexibility.

The primary narrative line is chronological.

The space design provides immediate accessibility

to all thematic units.

In addition, small visual prospects are offered

at selected points ,

highlighting key exhibits of the collection,

like the warrior’s statue, so-called “Leonidas”

The walls that define the permanent exhibition

are substantially lower

compared to the free height of the building’s exterior walls,

in an attempt to produce

a sense of supervision of the visitor’s movement.

The small kiosks dedicated to the scenario’s “transitions”

dominate the space in a repetitive way

at the heart of each unit

and as prominent architectural elements

further assist visitors’ orientation.

In the proposal MS50100501,

the permanent archaeological exhibition

is organized on the first floor of the new building,

completely separate from

the Zenetos factory relics, known as “HYMOFIX”.

Each section is characterized by a design gesture,

directly referring to the rich and complex meanings

of the approved preliminary museological scenario.

Rhythm, pace and motives

have been carefully orchestrated,

in order for the visitor to sometimes interact,

others discover and be part of micro environments

in each step of the way.

All exhibition design constructions are free standing,

permitting the architectural shell to host

large scale graphic design or act as

an inviting background for the visitor’s eye.
