Bylis Museum

The museum and visitor centre for the Bylis archaeological site in southern Albania is the result of a collaboration between Studio Lauria, Abkons and Archi.Media. The project interprets the Illyrian archaeological landscape as a unified system in which ruins, topography, vegetation and new visitor facilities work together to tell the story of the site. The building unfolds across several levels along a hillside of olive trees and broom, following the slopes rather than imposing an alien form. The volumes break down into smaller elements, the roofs become shading devices, and terraces create viewpoints over the archaeological site and the wider landscape. The museum, visitor services, learning areas and research spaces are arranged as a fl... More

Lviv Science Museum

The Museum of Science is our challenging project with an area of 2000 square meters, where we got acquainted with hundreds of exhibits and provided a place for each of them. Four zones and two floors symbolize the development of humans + the universe. Air - water - humanity - science. We used interactive and futuristic materials, such as dichromatic glass near the reception, through which you can enter the magical realm of science from the street, like through a portal. Andrey Avdeenko Andrey Avdeenko The design attracts attention even before the contact begins, thanks to such solutions. Through the game, cognition is dynamic — understanding science, space, life, and oneself. Andrey Avdeenko Andrey Avdeenko Inter... More

“Oyane-San” - Shikoku Mura Entrance

On the northern tip of Shikoku Island surrounded by the Seto Inland Sea is Mt. Yashima, a peninsula with historical significance for Japan. This scenic locale hosts Shikoku Mura, a leading open-air architectural museum dedicated to preserving and showcasing traditional houses from the Shikoku region. Our challenge was to redesign its entrance, transforming it into a new focal point complete with information spaces, ticketing, restrooms, and a shop—all while symbolizing renewal. Caption Caption The site was a parking lot elevated above the main access road, loosely connecting a shrine to the east, the museum's udon restaurant within a traditional house (Waraya) to the south, and an old Western-style house (Ijinkan) to the we...

National Design Museum Sejong

Design Intent. In designing a design museum, we have aimed to create a place to celebrate the intersection between creativity and ingenuity of the human mind. AIDIA STUDIO Conceptually the practice of design arises from the tension between form and function, between tradition and innovation, it is the fusion between technique and curiosity, the recognition of ancient craftsmanship and the relentless quest for the discovery of new materials pushing the boundaries of what is deemed possible. AIDIA STUDIO It is from that tension that the concept for the architecture emerged; contextually the building is ruled by the order imposed by the master plan, yet the building is also flanked by nature such as the river and the mountains in...
