Competition ConfEXPark, Thessaloniki
We were part of the team that won the first prize in the international architectural competition for the re-design of the Thessaloniki Conference and Exhibition Park in Greece, organised by the UIA.
The Exhibition Centre, a landmark area in the heart of the city, will be a place of international importance where the upgraded exhibition and conference spaces will attract high quality events and activities. The building and roof areas become islands of sustainability. They shade the underlying buildings, collect water to irrigate the park, and their photovoltaic surfaces produce energy.
The team includes both international and Greek consultants specialised in different fields who have collaborated successfully to deliver the preliminary design phase.
