International Architecture Competition:Site Museum (Portugal)

This international one-stage architecture competition invites you to develop and submit compelling ideas for the design of a contemporary Site Museum located within the Castle at Montemor-o-Novo in Portugal.

The Castle of Montemor-o-Novo is a significant landmark on a prominent landscape, a place of great cultural heritage and historical significance with characteristics that must be fully preserved.

When generating a vision for an intervention located within such a remarkable place, it is essential that each proposal emphasizes, respects and celebrates the site and existing ruins within this spectacular landscape, providing visitors a unique experience.

ARKxSITE 
is focused on the organisation and development of competitions located within prominent landscapes and territories of historical and cultural value
is an initiative that aims to bring together students and professionals in the field of architecture to encourage new perspectives and innovative strategies of intervention within the territory.
