Experience in-between architecture and context: the New Acropolis Museum, Athens

The New Acropolis Museum in Athens exemplifies how architecture's context and conditions can be understood through Gilles Deleuze's concept of the signaletic material, revealing a dynamic interplay between form, function, and experiential potential. This study demonstrates that architectural design, particularly in museum spaces, can afford multifaceted experiences—ranging from practical use to contemplative engagement with historical and geographical context. By analyzing visitor movement and perception within the museum, the research highlights how such designs actualize the 'in-between' encounters of architecture, context, and the experiencing subject, contributing to the broader understanding of architectural intentionality and its experiential dimensions.
