A comprehensive look at the eagerly anticipated New Acropolis
Museum in Athens, Greece, and the celebrated collection it houses.
Marking the opening of the New Acropolis Museum, this book examines
both its architecture and the archaeological treasures it was built
to house. The building addresses the dramatic complexities of the
collection and the site with minimalist simplicity by using three
main materials--glass, stainless steel, and concrete. "There's no
way at the beginning of the twenty-first century you can try to
imitate even superficially the art of 2,500 years ago," Tschumi
says. The "precision of the concept was really what counted." The
book provides an in-depth look at the creation of the building, set
only 280 meters from the Parthenon, as well as the restoration,
preservation, and housing of its exhibits through over 200
photographs, drawings, and texts.
