THE LIVING MUSEUM Competition
Registration Deadline: Aug 1, 2021; Submission Deadline: Aug 1, 2021 TerraViva Competitions launches THE LIVING MUSEUM, a new architecture competition focused on the design of micro-accommodation units immersed in the Sardinian landscape of the Nivola Museum. Prizes up to 7.000 € will be awarded to the winners selected by an international jury panel composed by, among others, Stefano Boeri (Stefano Boeri Architetti), Arthur Chang (NADAAA), Nicolás Campodonico (Nicolás Campodonico), Luis Gallego Pachón (Paredes Pedrosa Arquitectos);BRIEFJust one hour away from the magnificent Sardinian coast, Orani may seem just one more of a large number of “lost towns” in the middle of the island. However, there is one particular feature that highlights it from the rest of the villages, a “hidden gem” ready to be rediscovered: the Nivola Museum.In line with the idea of imagining a museum that breaks with the conventions of the traditional, the competition proposes to integrate an accommodation program within the Nivola Museum. What if it would offer to its visitors the possibility to actually “live” in it? How could a program of this kind be integrated in the surrounding context? The exhibition centre sits in a spectacular natural site on the southern side of Orani’s valley, below the scenographic mountain of Monte Gonare. Aside from the existing formal gardens, the complex includes over 20 hectares of land covered by olive trees and wild Mediterranean vegetation: the ideal location for a few small accommodation pavilions immersed in the local landscape.Competitors are therefore asked to imagine and design creative proposals focused on a unique and unconventional type of accommodation facility, located in the heart of the museum’s park. A privileged stopover for those tourists intent on traveling through the Nuorese region, and possibly also for those international artists who periodically reach Orani to set up their own exhibitions.Read the full post on Bustler
