CYPRUS NATIONAL MUSEUM
In 2016 an international architectural competition for the construction of the New Cyprus Museum was launched. Our proposal developed the idea of opening the experience of the museum to the one of living in the city. With this in mind, our design liberated the central axis of the plot to occupy it with a public pedestrian strip that would bind the center to the river.
In section, the building operates as a layered scheme in which the top and the bottom correspond to archiving, study, and restoration of archaeological pieces. And the in-between hosts the exhibit areas, the library, and the restaurant which are assembled around the central street to showcase and invite a broader public to discover the results of the curatorial efforts.
