We wanted to manage the two parts as a whole and redesign the existing square with the excellent view to the site. In our solution we combine to systems of axis, one originating from the urban tissu and one from an important ancient axis, Dimosio Sima, and two modern materials, concrete and steel. The two pairs of concrete walls create two yards which are on the same level and are connected through an underground passage. These walls create a clear boundary between the building and its surroundings and distinguish outdoor and indoor spaces. They are connected with light metal and wooden structures which also form the main spaces of the buildings.

The warehouses are semi-underground declaring the strong connection between the earth and the findings. The yard for the visitors and the yard with the laboratories for the archaeologists are separated so as the latter work undisturbed having a great view to the site.  

The visitors' center includes a auditorium with foyer and a library. It can be open even when the rest of the site is closed to the public. It can be reached through the redesigned square, which helps the visitors to get closer to the site and stand for a while having an excellent view.
