Here is a contemporary museum, which will honor the inheritance of Juan Antonio Samaranch, who was president of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001 and a significant promoter of the games. The museum is designed by Dutch architects HAO and Beijing studio Archiland. Exhibitions dedicated to Samaranch’s work will be kept in a figure of eight-shaped building that will loop around an entrance courtyard and garden in the 2 biggest rings of the complex. The 3 smaller circles will comprise sunken courtyards, providing spaces for temporary exhibitions, administration and research. The Samaranch Memorial Museum is due to complete in 2013.
