Tschumi new acropolis museum and Parthenon

This is a video I made for a project at the School of Architecture in Athens where we had to show our opinion about the new museum of Acropolis and the Parthenon itself. I tried to show some of the similar things they share and most of all their differnece with a slight melancholic look in favor of Parthenon. The video isn't quite how I wanted it to be because I made the mistake to create it with windows movie maker...

Then, there will be no contrast, and there will be comparisons(old vs new) which will not be valid.

In any event the new building had to stand up to big earthquakes.

...I am telling you ,...IT IS BEAUTIFUL ,but it would be something else in the Greek style!!!....

[nixter888]

It could be built in classical style,with doric,corinthian and ionic styles,... Greek order of columns!

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

What else could it be, it was bild in modern times and not in the classical times. Cost and other safety factors were taken into account!

[nixter888]

Still i believe it's a little too modern for the surroundings,....but it's a Great museum all together!

[JimmyTheGreek2000]

If it was classical in style, it would be compared to the Parthenon, There is only ONE Parthenon, there will never be another. In any event the building had to be earthquake-proof! therefore modern methods and materials were used!
