Inspiring Architecture Of Argo Museum Volos Greek

The space of the argo museum volos greek is defined by a square plan and a double-curved wooden roof. The surface of the roof is undulated in an attempt to organize the basic museum program but also to explore additional programmatic possibilities.

The two highest peaks of the roof make room underneath for the penteconter and an IMAX theater whereas the lowest point dissolves into the ground forming an outdoor amphitheater with a view towards Mount Pelion.

Around the amphitheater a semi-covered “stoa” is formed offering an outdoor extension for the cafe and the foyer of the theater. The structure of the roof consists of large scale timber frames made out of glued laminated timber beams.

The circulation in the main exhibition space is structured as a narration of the legendary expedition of the Argonauts.

Starting with a descent through a ramp into an underground round chamber the visitor submerges into the time of heroes and epic journeys beyond the then known world. A round hole on the roof allows for a glimpse of the Argo ship from beneath.

The path then continues with a gradual ascent through daedal stepped levels symbolizing the different encounters of the Argonauts’ famous voyage towards Colchis, while Argo reveals itself gradually in the background.
