Goulandris Museum
Location: Athens, Greece
A new central Athens museum is designed to display an important modern art collection consisting of works by Impressionist and modern masters including Cezanne, Picasso, Kandinsky, deChirico, Braque, Nicholson, and the highlight of the collection: five works by Van Gogh.
The museum features a signature triangulated, skylighted atrium that unifies the interlocking volumes merged inseparably in a spatial dialogue of rigorous geometry, technical expertise, and exacting construction. Attention also focused on operational infrastructure, providing ease of use for administrators and conservators. Strong relationships with consultants, especially locally, has facilitated this challenging enterprise.
