The goal of the Living Ruins Architecture Competition is to revitalize the abandoned village of Kayakoi, inviting participants to propose designs for an open-air museum to protect and revitalize this mysterious site.
These unique architectural complexes are situated in the Mediterranean landscape and serve as bridges connecting the past and present.
By transforming the ruins into a vibrant exhibition space, we aim to offset the current situation of the “ghost city” of Kanakoi and explore sustainable cultural tourism methods.
The challenge faced by the contestants is to create an innovative museum experience that strikes a balance between heritage preservation and modern design, promoting deeper connections between visitors and the site.
