Open Аir Ethnographic Museum "Etar" and the Municipality of Gabrovo with the support of the Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria and the Union of Architects in Bulgaria are announcing the National One-stage Anonymous Architectural Competition ETAR MUSEUM HOTEL.
The main objective of the competition is to achieve an expert, transparent and motivated choice of a conceptual architectural project for reconstruction of the Strannopriemnitsa Hotel, part of the most visited group tourist destination in Bulgaria.
ABOUT THE COMPETITION
During the last few years there has been a tendency in Gabrovo to attract professionals with international education, recognition and experience. The OАEM "Etar", as the largest group tourist destination in the city and among the most visited in Bulgaria, has been also undergoing a rapid development - it has updated its cultural calendar and has attracted both experienced professionals and young generation team members. Тhe Museum has expanded its thematic cultural and scientific events as well as the relevant targeted groups. The OАEM "Etar" has renewed its overall graphic vision, and in 2017 a contest for a new visual identity of the Museum has been held. Many of the immovable cultural heritage have been restored and preserved.
In this context, the redevelopment of Strannopriemnitsa Hotel as an integral part of OАEM "Etar" will contribute to the renovation and modernization of the complex. It allows for improvement of the functional links in OАEM "Etar", for optimization of the spaces and for additional new functions, which will both enrich and popularize the work of the Museum. On the other hand, the reconstruction should preserve the spirit of the authentic Bulgarian architecture, skillfully combined with the classical modernism of the building. The reconstructed building should also provide spaces suitable to the current needs and future intentions of the Ethnographic Museum.
The participants are invited to present a functional architectural concept as well as a concept for the interior design, together with an estimated value of the project proposal. Fully qualified architects, as well as teams with at least one fully qualified architect, are eligible for participation.
