Olympic museum in Athens

The objective of the contest is the creation of an Olympic museum in Athens, dedicated to protect and remember all those historical moments. 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 call is public and open to all undergraduate students, both from Architecture as from related careers like Engineering, Urban Planning, Design, etc.
Students must be able to prove, by any official document (enrolment papers, student card, etc.) that, when the registration period opens, they are studying. All graduate students, whose undergraduate degree is not older than 3 years, can also participate. Participation can be individual or in group, with a maximum of six members per team allowed. Teams may consist of multidisciplinary members (artists, philosophers, photographers, etc.). Though not strictly necessary, we recommended the presence of at least one member connected with the world of architecture. Teams can have members of different nationalities and they don’t necessarily have to study in the same centre.
