design the Samaranch Memorial Museum

"Landep News"
Copenhagen-based 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. It will be situating in Tianjin, a city of over 12 million people near Beijing, in Northwestern China. Juan Antonio Samaranch 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.

The design of the building is based on the idea of two existing typologies: the memorial and the museum. It will both highlight Samaranch’s professional history and look to the future, offering space for permanent exhibits of contemporary art and culture. Winning design by Holm Architecture Office draws inspiration from the five interlocking rings of Olympic Games symbol this 25,000 sq m impressive complex is set to rise in Chinese city Tianjin. To make wonderful recreation in the museum, it has been designed new museum in an 80,000 sq m natural park features 204 circles representing each of the member countries of the International Olympic Committee. The circles contain different program and landscaping, creating a lush and varied park experience. In the park the atmosphere will be very fresh and natural so that the visitors will enjoy the view inside and outside the building. The new museum and grounds are slated for completion in 2013.
