Gyaros Island, once a site of political exile, is now significant for its ecological value, hosting the largest population of Mediterranean monk seals. The competition requires the creation of a Museum to honour those who suffered on the island and a Research Centre to promote environmental protection strategies in the Mediterranean.
“ArXellence stimulates discussion on sustainable design and construction. We invite Indian architects to create a self-sufficient hub on Gyaros Island, addressing biodiversity in the Eastern Mediterranean,” says Theodoros Axouristos, Managing Director, Alumil India.
The competition jury features prominent architects, including India’s own Sanjay Puri. Prizes include €40,000 for first place, €20,000 for second, €10,000 for third, and six honourable mentions. “Reducing the carbon footprint while making the environment sustainable is crucial. If every company undertakes projects like this, the world would be a better place,” says Ar. Sanjay Puri.
