About National Gallery Athens Museoa
Atenako Galeria Nazionalaren 60ko hamarkadako eraikin modernoan, erakusketa-gelak espazio irekian ibilbide bat bezala diseinatuta daude. Barnealdea informaziorako egurrezko errebestedun tarte trantsizionalen sekuentzia gisa diseinatu da, eta erakusketa-funtzio bakoitzerako bereziki diseinatutako sabai esekiak dituzten erakusketa-gela zuriekin. Begirada-norabideak, gelen ikuspegi-sakontasuna eta hiriarekiko ikuspegia kontrolatuz, argiztapen orokorra kanpoko argiarekin erlazionatuz, eta materialak zein xehetasun teknikoak menderatuz arte-lanak nabarmentzeko, espazioak aukera askearen sentsazioa ematen du.
About the Urrezko Saria A' Design Award
National Gallery Athens Museoa Urrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, lehen mailako, zoragarriak eta nabarmenak diren diseinuei ematen zaien aitorpen izugarri prestijiotsua. Urre-mailako irabazleak berrikuntzaz beteriko, ikuspegi handiko eta distiraz liluragarriak diren sorkuntzak dira, beren diseinatzaileen genioa, jakituria eta trebetasuna islatzen dutenak.

Urrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu hau proiektu ikusgarri eta errespetatua da, artearen, zientziaren, diseinuaren eta teknologiaren mugak oso onuragarriro zabaltzen dituena. National Gallery Athens Museoa desira-sentimendu biziak sortzen dituen, grina pizten duen, sormena bultzatzen duen eta liluratzen gaituen lana da.

- Production Technology
- The materials in the exhibition and entrance areas are mainly metallic frames covered with panels of gypsum or wood, for the walls, or with Stretched Ceiling translucent diffusor films. The materials are subdued to highlight the works of art: wood without strong veins, matte marble on the floor, grey coloured exhibition walls.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part was the coordination of the large number of the constructors and engineers of the building and the museography, of the supervisors of the Ministry of Culture (as we are talking about the National Gallery), of the curators and conservators of the Gallery, of the consultants of the sponsors.
- Research
- Our team has a long experience of over 50 similar studies and constructions, on art exhibitions. In the specific project, we combined the given structure of the building with the museology study of the National Gallery and with the free flow of the visitor of the exhibition, checking the results through the navigation in detailed 3d maquettes.
- Inspiration
- The design of a permanent and alternating exhibition of the Greek art of 19-20th c., with material and geometric spatial indexes for the gaze that give the sense of free choice to the movement of the visitors (panels facing the incoming visitor permitting the maximum depth of the field of view), in a continuous open-air feeling due to the general indirect lighting that follows the incoming view of the excerpts of the city. Minimalism and materials that are subdued to highlight the works of art.
- Project Duration
- The study of the project started in 2017 and finished in 2020 in Athens. The construction started in 2020 and finished in 2021.
- Operation Flow
- The visitor can have information general or specific for the art works in each exhibition room, or for the projects of the museum, or for the orientation in the building by 60 interactive screens placed in the entrance and the circulation knots.
