An collaboration between Architect, Landscape Architects and Engineers yields an innovative and transparent environment celebrating the 2008 Olympics in form and features from bustler
Brooklyn/Copenhagen-based HAO / Holm Architecture Office in collaboration with Archiland Beijing, Kragh & Berglund landscape architects, and engineering consultants Cowi Beijing, has won first prize in a competition to design the Samaranch Memorial Museum in Tianjin, China.
Competition-winning design for the new Samaranch Memorial Museum in Tianjin, China
Juan Antonio Samaranch of Spain was the president of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001. Throughout his presidency he advocated for reform and inclusion and was a strong supporter of China’s bid as host city for the 2008 Olympic Games. Tianjin, a city of over 12 million people in northwestern China near Beijing, was the site of several Olympic events. The new museum and memorial will both highlight Samaranch’s professional history and look to the future, offering space for rotating exhibits of contemporary art and culture.
Have you ever thought about creating an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs?
I have a blog based on the same information you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information.
I know my audience would enjoy your work.
If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email.
HI Sophia,
THanks for the kind invite – I regret I am rather tied up with studies and work and the blog has taken a back seat at the moment and will have to do so for next year as well.
I mainly use scoop-it while scanning the web each morning to send some stuff that I am interested in to the blog and Pinterest.
Please feel free to use any of it.
Maybe when I finish my PhD I will want to engage the world again.
