REDESIGNING OF THE EXISTING SILO AND SURROUNDING SPACE INTO A MUSEUM OF MARINE ANTIQUITIES AND RECASTING OF THE COASTAL ZONE OF THE PIRAEUS PORT AUTHORITY
Piraeus, Athens, Greece 2012
The criterion forming the proposal is an intervention which reclaims the existing building shells and the surrounding space, bringing out its virtues and advantages without disregarding the identity and character of the given natural, artificial and functional landscape. The defining element of the museum’s interior is the industrial shell’s superiority and the paramountcy, which is present everywhere and defines the display of the antiquities but also the interior’s stylistic character.
In the exterior of the building three metal cubes host workshops and periodical exhibition spaces. They are placed in the elongated axis of the building and have a determinant function concerning the orderly and identifiable Hippodamian organization of the total intervention in the surrounding space.
