[01] CYPRIOT ENGINEER ACROPOLIS MUSEUM
Cyprus has left its own mark on the construction of the new Acropolis
Museum. The extensive use of glass, which characterises this
outstanding building, is the work of a Cypriot company, part of a
consortium with an Austrian company which won the tender for the
construction of the project.
In an interview with CNA, Marios Drousiotis, one of the Cypriots glass
engineers who has worked for the project, talks about his unique
experience during the construction of the Museum, stressing the
importance of the contribution of a local company to such a remarkable
building.
As he says, his company had to compete with other European consortiums,
which usually carry out projects of that kind and size. In late 2005,
the Cyprus-Austrian consortium finally signed the contract, with the
main contractor AKTOR A.T.E., for the design, supply and installation
of all glass and metal coatings of the Museum.
