Competitors were therefore asked to imagine and design creative and unconventional proposals to host those tourists intent on traveling through the Sardinian inland, and the international artists who periodically reach the museum to set up their own exhibitions. </p> <p>The awarded projects were able to interpret the context in a highly sensitive way, experimenting with different architectural approaches capable of creating unique and original scenarios. It is clear to notice that both the history of Costantino Nivola and his works of art as well as the natural features of the site have been key factors in the design of the best proposals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Organized by <a href="https://www.terravivacompetitions.com/the-living-museum-competition-results-2021/" target="_blank">TerraViva Competitions,</a> in collaboration with the Nivola Museum, the competitio...</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/150010172/paris-launches-international-competition-to-redesign-31-underused-sites-including-3-old-metro-stations Nicholas Korody 2017-05-31T12:20:00-04:00 >2017-05-31T12:27:38-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/4o/4oroa556kcaxz5s5.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>They are known as the ghost stations: 16 stops on the Paris M&eacute;tro system barred and padlocked nearly 70 years ago. In the past seven decades, many ideas for their reinvention have been floated, including turning one into a swimming pool and others into bars and nightclubs. None have come to anything, but their allure remains. Now, Paris city hall has put three of the phantom stations into an international competition to develop unused subterranean space.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Dubbed 'Reinvent Paris', the initiative aims to transform a total of thirty-four sites owned by regional authorities into economic, cultural or social spaces. The three unused metro stations are at the Champs de Mars in the 7th arrondissement, the Croix-Rouge in the 6th and Saint-Martin, between the 3rd and 10th arrondissements.</p><p>Architects and developers should submit their proposal outlines by November and a shortlist will be made in 2018. Final selection will happen in November 2018. Head <a href="http://www.reinventer.paris/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> for more information.&nbsp;</p>
