About National Gallery Athens 博物館

在雅典國家美術館的60年代現代建築中,展覽室設計成開放空間中的漫步式動線。室內設計由一系列木質飾面的資訊過渡區域,以及為各項展覽功能特別設計懸吊天花的白色展覽室所組成。透過控制視線方向、室內及朝向城市的視覺深度、配合外部光線的整體照明,並簡化材料與技術細節以突顯藝術作品,此空間營造出自由選擇的氛圍。

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.
