Tectonic Design Contest for a Volcano Museum
The museum highlights the importance of Mount Ararat through contrast, holographic exposition and a sightseeing route hidden in the interior of the earth. The building allows you to recreate the raw, primal sensations in a safe interior. The form was shaped by mountain contours, local Kurdish tents, a constellation called Noah's Dove and oriental mandalas.

Without graphical representation is there any convincing ideology?😥
Maybe the Nature is on the first plan - more important than architecture in this place?
graphic representation is important but unconventional idea is better than pretty image, it's not "the best render competition" :D
Nice job! The holographic exposition idea hidden under the ground against traditional showcases is phenomenal to express the volcano experience, really creative thinking, love it ❤
Really impressed :-) Hologram and the schemas are very interesting and original but the best in this project is that the whole beauty of the concept based on really smart placing the architectural crater in the context. It doesn't look like random commercial block, the nature and local tradition creates the whole form, which is special for this specific location, wonderful!
