He studied in Paris and at ETH Zurich, where he received his degree in architecture in 1969.
Tschumi

Tschumi, well known for his radical theories on post-structuralist architecture in the 1960's and 70's, won the commission for the New Acropolis Museum, in a competition. The museum offers a seemingly placid position, focused on the light and the breathtaking scenery of Athens while accurate in the imagination and sophisticated in the way.
