PYTHAGORAS MUSEUM

The architecture of the museum aims to create a new landscape morphologically rooted to the ground, through a partially 

hypo-epigean space that integrates the museum into the hill through continuous coverage with the existing topography. 

The relationship between architecture and landscape is emphasized in the interior spaces of the foyer and the cafeteria framing the view outside, as if seen through a telescope.  An inner spiral as a promenade architecturale accompanies visitors fluidly to the roof top, which is conceived as a belvedere overlooking the park and the city. Throughout the museum, the boundaries delimiting exhibition-plaza-garden will be defined by their final users.
