New Cyprus Museum

international competition

Nicosia

2016

In collaboration with TUÑÓN ARQUITECTOS 

​

The new Cyprus Museum will be endowed with the responsibility to house, guard and project to the world the 10.000 year-old history of this island.

The building itself, as a vessel of the distinct evidence of this deeply rooted civilization, needs to bear a stature and emblematic presence analogous to its role.

Our proposal is born from autochthonous and unique symbols of both place and history; symbols which become abstracted into a landmark building worthy of its important mission.

The meticulous and functional design that guarantees the smooth operation of the Museum is complemented with a vision that results in a unique and iconic building, vesting the people of Cyprus with a well-deserved pride for the richness of their ancestral culture.
