DESIGN PHILOSOPHY The New Acropolis museum of Art is located in one of the historic parks in Nashville, Tennessee. Centennial park is and has always been the center of public activities in the city. The park served as the fair lands for the city for many years in history. During the international exposition of 1897, the park was filled with temporary replicas of famous buildings from all around the world. One of them was an exact replica of the Parthenon. After the celebrations of the international exposition, the Parthenon became a landmark in the city. The citizens urged the city to reconstructed it in a more durable way. Today the concrete structure still stands in the middle of the park as an icon. The museum of the New Acropolis has as its main purpose to, in fact, to create a new and modern acropolis to complete the Parthenon and engage it to the landscape. The main building stands beside the Parthenon as a way to give respect. The Museum and the Parthenon are divided by an extensive water pond that not only separates the two entities and gives them their own integrity, but it also unifies them as the reflections of both the Parthenon and the building collide in one. The Parthenon is brought inside the galleries of the museum by its reflection. It stands proud over a pedestal of rock. The Parthenon is part of the exhibition, visually and physically.
