The aim is that the building rises in the Turkish area of Çanakkale but aspires to be a global focus through its expression and display of the culture of a civilisation. A project that will act as a generator for social activity, research and culture.
The strategy consists in the design of a unique piece, a jewel, that on the one hand will complement the ruins of Troy, and on the other be valued in its own right. The starting point is to recapture with the utmost sensitivity the magnificence of this civilisation that in its golden era created the most beautiful objects, full of splendour and creativity.

Foundations: steel
Frameworks: reinforced concrete and wooden
Enclosure: wooden, adobe, straw, glass, polycarbonate, aluminium

The strong material expression is achieved by using wood, which has been specially chosen, both for the structure and the skin of this building, for its elegant and evocative texture, its comfort and because it pertains to nature and to the location.

The design of the Museum of Troy at Çanakkale has been carried out by the atelier RTA-Office, led by Santiago Parramón, in collaboration with the Turkish atelier DOME Partners (Istanbul).
