Architecture overview: light
New Acropolis Museum, Athens, Greece by Bernard Tschumi Architects
Bernard Tschumi is the first to build a new structure so close to the Parthenon, and one of the few internationals to have done anything in Athens. Greece is known for its abundant sunshine, so the brief focused on natural lighting. The Swiss-born, NY-based architect completed the New Acropolis Museum this summer, in consultation, on the lighting side, with stars Arup Lighting.
