It was designed and constructed based on environmentally friendly and functional novel techniques, with extensive use of glass to allow natural light. Its crown jewel is the Parthenon gallery, where the entire frieze is exhibited in the same order and with the same directional orientation as when it adorned the monument, with visual contact from the gallery to the monument. The Mies van der Rohe Award was launched in 1987 to highlight excellence in contemporary buildings and contribute to the advancement of new ideas and technologies in urban development. It is considered the most prestigious award in European architecture and is conferred every other year to works completed within the previous two years. The award ceremony will take place on June 20 in Barcelona. Greek News Agenda Photogallery: The Acropolis Museum |
